High Vantage Point

Used to be, roofs didn’t have ornaments but practical structures (discounting churches and the like). This metal contraption was to help storks to build a nest on the ancient tower. It has not been in use for many years as the storks have decided to roost rather closer to the meadows and fields where frogs and mice can be found.

When decorative turrets for ordinary houses came in fashion, they were mostly modelled on the cockerels of old. These days they are often made of terracotta and not metal as of old.

And there is the combination of natural and terracotta if you can’t make up your mind:

The Ragtag Daily Prompt: On the roof

Wavy Red

Waves.
And a rock breaking the waves.

And someone wearing a red t-shirt.

The hunt for red is over.
