Now that maybe a challenge for the fat man Bill lol, Nice capture...

Love the composition, the division of space, the light and shadow. Excellent image!

I'm sure he's managed it before Bill, shouldn't pose a problem! Nice shot.

Great lines and textures - I am glad it was what I expected given the title! Clive

ropes and grappling iron i think...

Well, I say leave the key under the doormat for santa...lol. Great capture of part of the house.

Beautiful brickwork and a superb composition.

great idea and perfect photo!!

HA! Now I wish I was in my old village, where I lived before. There we have twisted chimneys in the oldest part of the village :-) How about that? Excellent shot and yes a big challenge for Santa :-)

love that chimney.. Art Nouveau erish... super... I think Santa will use e-mail here

Great idea. Very well done

Absolutely gorgeous shot!

at least there's no smoke coming out of it, yet!

A title that says all my friend. . You know that there is good in all this ... When it comes down the chimney he is intact lol.... And take his glass of milk and cookies after it distributes these fines as. Thanks for your continued visits is very appreciated ((5 + +)) Un titre qui dit tout mon ami . . Tu sais il y a cela de bon dans tout cela... Quand il arrive en bas de la cheminée il est intact lol Et prend son verre de lait et ses biscuits ,après il distribue ces amendes comme . Mercis de tes visites de suite c'est très apprécier ((5++))

oh how funny!! Good luck Santa .. perhaps if he lays off the cookies.

Even as a kid, I wondered how he could possibly get down a chimney!! Great shot!!

Wait until you see Santa takes this chimney, and then another splendid shot. :D Great POV and architecture, Bill.

Beautiful POV and capture! :)

Good point of view for a great composition of lines! Great shot !!!

I hope Santa makes it, what does he do when the house doesn't have a chimney???

beautiful shadow & light, the roof & facade are studies in dappling. (And the facade---a 'tear drop' tile from the 19th C---fits right in.) As dappling will do, you've captured subtle pastel hues in the shadows & the join between the two roof masses. The bright chimey & dark leaves (on top) are perfect foils. Simple but very eloquent. And if I were Santa, I'd look up and think: "Forget gifts, I'm takin' a picture!" (They'd be saying, at the North Pole: "Who gave Santa the Nikon? Someone get that thing away from him...")

LOL...Yes, Santa best be on a diet if he is going to attempt that chimney.... Aloha

VERY COOL, POOR SANTA!

Unless he goes on a crash diet between now and Christmas eve, no way is fat (perhaps obese would be a more appropriate term) and jolly Santa going to make it down that chimney shaft without either breaking some bricks or some ribs. In any event, a superlative POV used to capture the fine clarity, color, lighting and textures in this cool foto, Bill.

"1 block of C4....check......1 roll of det cord....check....we're good to go", Santa was a Navy Seal....but don't tell the little ones.

Hehe - I think he'd better go on a crash diet before he tackles this one! LOL! I know a little secret about Santa..... Keep watching my gallery wink, wink Really cool photo, Bill! Love that clear blue sky! LOL @ niewil - yeah C4 and detcord are a guaranteed good time! A real blast...;-D

Cute render Good luck Santa Hugs Susan~

wonderful capture!

It will be a challange but he should be able to at least fit once he gets to the top. Our chimney is so skinny that I worry he wont visit me.....
