I thought I’d write an introduction for this photo essay, explaining where I was and what I was doing in the places I photographed, but I soon realized it would be too long and have nothing to do with the photos.
So, I drove someone to Rijeka, Croatia, to run some errands, and while I was waiting for him, I wandered around the city. Basically, I walked up and down a long, straight street, about two kilometers, waiting for him to call so I could drive him home.
Well, while I was getting my daily dose of steps in - somewhere between 9,000 and 10,000, since that’s supposedly healthy, I figured I might as well take some photos. It would have been great to stroll along the promenade, the main squares with interesting buildings, or along the coast, but here there was just one boring, straight street, tons of parked cars, and apartment buildings and houses on both sides.
Well, you’ve probably figured out from the title and the photo above that I focused on chimneys :)
Yeah, I just had to decide on something.
Chimneys? Where did I find them? Everywhere. They’re on the roof of every house.
It’s well known that old houses were heated with wood or kerosene, and even gas stoves require a chimney.
Reka is a coastal town, but they get snow and wind there too. It can get pretty cold in the winter, even below 0 °C.
Yeah, the street was really boring; nothing particularly interesting.
Well, let's just say I saw one of the container terminals down on the coast, in the harbor.

And back to the chimneys again
