Simnai Dirdro - Twisted Chimney

by Daronl

This unique, twisted chimney is located north of the Rhymney Valley. It is 8 metres high and 16 metres long and can be seen for miles around especially from the main A465 road.

Created by Brian Tolle, the chimney is sited near the former Union Ironworks. Brian worked with local residents from Bute on this unique design.

The chimney droops over and twists like a wilting flower depicting the wilting and withering industrial infrastructure of this region which was once the industrial heartland of the Welsh Valleys

A well-deserved winner in the weekly competition, and an excellent example of how to use a wide-angle lens to good effect.
