RE: Shadow Photo Contest-Rd 59: Architectural Shadow Of Cupola
I always like the look of the cupelo, especially with a weather vane. This one seems to be designed for something different on top.
Yes, great ice cream. 😊
Several of the big old houses around on the prairie have cupolas on top and I was told that they were originally designed as lookouts for approaching danger. I suppose prairie fires could be seen for miles from up there.
I’ve heard them described as lookouts for foxes. 🦊 Must be because of the chickens 🐓 on the farm.
They would be a good vantage point for seeing a lot of things! I always wished for one to use as a secluded reading nook!
