I find it funny that most people don't know that #CoolingTowers ain't #Chimneys...
Sorry for the poor quality of the pictures. but spur of the moment #photography isn't my specialty.
Anyway this #Refinery outside my hometown of #SherwoodPark, had a HUGE trail of #fire coming from one of the #chimneys.

Don 't know who owns the #Refinery, but it's along #BaselineRoad.

But will I actually...?

So congested were the depot buildings that it was not possible to fall it, and, because it was believed that the mortar used was cement mortar, suggestions that it should be pulled down, brick by bricks, were never very seriously entertained.
… A week or two ago however, an inquiring mind tested out that mortar … and found that the cement mortar story was largely a myth, for the mortar is lime mortar, not unduly difficult of breaking up or cleaning from the bricks when taken down. The order has now definitely gone forth that the stack is to come down and scaffoldings have already been built inside the chimney to its top.…

Morning all. I snapped this mill chimney in North Yorkshire the other day and in my mind it became a road to the sky. Have a good Good Friday. xx
