This chimney fell over in the Nisqually earthquake just about ten years ago. We left the top where it lay to have our own personal ruin.
Adding that as earthquakes go this was big but not tragic, just a reminder of the power. Very much unlike Haiti for example, which is in a way more tragic than it was a year ago.

An interesting artifact to contrast nicely with the garden greens. Glad we aren’t in an earthquake prone area. Like your photo.

I love how the plants have reclaimed it for their own, great contrast of colours.

A pretty memorial to the quake. Our plaster ceiling has a crack from the 1965 quake that hit this area, and it is nowhere as nice to look at.

Great colors in that chimney piece! Years from now, some Mayan ancestor might wander by and marvel at our engineering skills….
