[marie]

my sincere apologies for the long delay

Congratulations Alan # 1

Boutty # 2

Rafael # 3

Alan, thank you, its terrific picture of smokey atmosphere and whats going on (and all around) with the bigger chimneys in our world. they look so dominant and powerful (pun) against the sky


I realise in warmer climates there are not many 'household ' chimneys Boutty and Rafael
many thanks for finding some types and I appreciate what you entered
the pictures all show different aspects of emissions
love your shot Boutty, with the cat perched there on that nice 'patterned ' ..is it a corrugated 'roof' ?
reminded me of 'cat on a hot thin roof'
thank you

:)

and Rafael, thank you too, this is a very special type which is good to see and there is undoubtedly a very interesting story behind yours............. and all the pictures


every one is a winner and it was difficult to decide as each picture has its own merits of what is in use in the different countries

best wishes to all

END

not sure there are many of them left but a photo of any kind of chimney or whatever type of funnels are used instead of the old fashioned chimneys around and about the area you live in

a picture of a type of 'smokey' (or otherwise) outlet used daily in cold weather
during this busy week :eek:..... your entries will be very welcome

Santa especially will be very pleased to know what kind of chimney he has to visit shortly :D

thanks

Congratulations alans220 for a beautiful picture that deserved more participants in the challenge to win over all of them.

Thank you marie, it is always difficult to be the host and somewhat harder on Christmas (I know that, I was the challenge’s host on Christmas 2005 :) ).

Well done Boutty you managed to rank just one place before the last :) :).

Come on, friends, let’s give some work to alans220 in the last challenge of 2006! He already proposed a very interesting topic: in flight

Happy New Year 2007 to all!

[Boutty]

My sincere congratulations to Congratulations Alan & Rafael for their top spots.

Rafael , at least we all made the top three! This is too easy!?! ;)

Alan, what is this place in your image? I guessed the EPA permits them to emit such smokes? :p

marie, thanks for the great job hosting and interest topic. :cool:

The little fella (the cat) seemed to enjoy the warmth came from the modern chimney and the hot copper pipe. I took quite a few shots of him but he just ignored me. :)
