Photographer’s Note
In La Défense, the business district in the outskirts of Paris, there are not only futuristic high rise building that might be interesting photo subject, there are also a lot of sculptures and modern art by artists such as Miro, Ventet, Takis and Calder. This is a picture of Raymond Moretti’s ‘Cheminée d'aération’, a 30 m parking chimney of coloured glass fibre. It is taken in an early winter morning in December when it was still in the shade.

Hello Ulf,great artistic POV of the famous chimney.
Quite pop arty, as it plays tricks on the eyes as you scroll down the shot!
How long has it been at La Defense?We were there a year or two ago and we didn't see it, did we just miss it?
Good sharpness and lovely colour.
Tfs, regards Jean.

Hello Ulf,
I have seen many pictures of this colourful and beautiful tower and I wonder, is something inside? Has it got any windows?
I like your close up on these lines that lean in the perspective.
Best regards
Romana

Hello Ulf,
I posted today a photo of the same subject, but very very different :-)
The graphism offered by this architecture is wonderful, as well as its colours.
Nice view, simple but very graphic.
Regards,
Marianne

Hej Ulf,
An awesome play of colours and lines!
Frankly I get a bit dizzy if staring too long at a display like this, hehehe...
The framing works well and the colours are nicely reproduced!
Greetings,

Hi Ulf,
La Défense is indeed a paradise for modern photography full with possibilities for colourful abstract or semi-abstract scenes. This one is lovely and although not characteristic for your portfolio, certainly one that enriches it.
Groet Rob

Hi Ulf,
I had seen several shots of this peculiar building of Moretti, but the angle chosen here is...different and quite original...almost hipnotic!
Have a good weekend.
