unlike most towers
ReplyDeleteBeautiful tower against a brilliantly blue sky!
ReplyDeleteI like the I, II, III, IIII, IIIII, IIIIII of negative space, the subtle gradation of the flat plane of blue contrasted with the pale (and striped) architectural stone. All is well balanced, even the standing figures.
ReplyDeleteRe the five openings, me too—and I tried to picture what they would look like reversed.
DeleteI took a look upside down and felt that it looks too architectural, almost like a faux Tower of Pisa. As it is the tower looks increasingly lighter and more open with altitude, a kind of opening of its stone arms to heaven.
DeleteNice bell tower, looks very tall
