This is the old power generation building smoke stack on the South Campus of the University at Buffalo. They don't make smoke stacks like they used to!

I forgot to tell you. I have lived in Buffalo for four years, less than a hundred meter away this smoke stack. I have searching your galleries. This one is the most familiar thing for me.

You can find it in one of my pictures, but a little small.http://www.pbase.com/norahlin/image/32981850

Thats a really blue sky Don!

Wow, quite a building! I wonder if, perchance, it was built during the days of the WPA? Lots of great stuff got built during the depression.

You must have had a beautiful day. The blue sky very nicely sets off your main subject.

Built at a time when labor was cheap and money was more plentiful. Very nice.
