The chimneys of the Roya Valley
Christmas is around the corner and Santa Claus will soon come to town so a topic about chimneys is just about timely.
A chimney is a structure where smoke passes from a fireplace through a pipe onto the outside atmosphere. In order for the smoke to flow smoothly, chimneys are usually vertical.

The vertical structures sticking out of roofs are the chimney pots.
Chimney cowls are those things they put on top to prevent rain and wind from getting in and birds from nesting inside.
Different designs of cowls have flourished, each depending on the taste, personality, purpose or budget of the house owner
That’s a lot of chimneys in one house!
