What gets photographedPage One, the Camera and the Reader in Avalon
A report here often describes a chimney older than the war, attached to its neighbors. Because buildings crowd the canyon, it notes which masonry belongs to which unit and how each flue was reached. Frost barely registers out here. Salt and constant damp are what wear on chimneys, so rust on metal parts and wet masonry fill the first photos, and old joints get checked with the offshore faults in mind.
