Now THIS shot is awe-inspiring!
I believe that most iron work like this at the peaks were actually functional.. Instead of hitting the building, lightening would hit the iron work which was grounded.. But instead of having an iron rod sticking up in the air, they fashioned them into intricate designs..
How in Theee hell did you get so close to get that fab shot?
I've always loved great ironwork both on fences and on buildings.Shame you don't see as much of it being made these days.
they don't build'm like they usta.
Man oh Manesheivetz! my heart is in my mouth just thinking of how high up you must have been to get this shot!
I love this, it reminds me of the top of either the Munster's house or the Addams Family, can't remember which I'm thinking of.
How beautiful is this! I hope this is part of the renovations as well! It would be a shame to see all of these details lost.
This wrought iron work is somewhat "gothic" in it's style.

It almost looks like it should be part of the house that was on "The Adams Family" television show from the 1960's.

Or it could be from the house that was on the old television show called "The Munsters" from the 1960's.

Or the other house would be from the old television show that is called: "The tale's of the Crypt" from the 1990's.

Joseph, you're absolutely right!! I couldn't remember where I'd seen that before.

By the way, thanks for what you're doing for our country.
Frank - pgh; Thank you for responding.

Thank you for saying thank you for serving the United States of America. You are very welcome. I have only been to Kuwait at Camp Doha, Camp Virginia and Camp Arifjan. though. I have not been to Iraq yet.

I have had the chance to serve at several Forts in the United States and in a few countries in the World though.

Thank you again.

I agree Joseph...thanks for your service. This shot is absolutely stunning......
That indeed would be worth it's weight in gold (or iron) today. I have friends in the wrought -iron trade, and it would be VERY valuable!
