Today is theme day, City Daily Photo's tradition for the first of the month. The website's in a tizzy right now so check out the participants in today's theme at the site Julie set up here.
Ordinarily on theme day I invite you to visit our newest member, but today I think you ought to visit Julie at Sydney Eye and say hello.

Somebody went to a lot of trouble to put that pseudo-chimney up there.
A great ship to have on one's roof, it is.
I knew you would come up with a weird one, Petrea. We in hot climes do not have many choices for this Theme Day.
My family member who's a chimney sweep would have an interesting time cleaning this one! I don't know how many sweeps carry deck swabbers. A fun choice for today's theme, Petrea!
Chimney-like? Chimney-ish?
Charming, for sure.
oh, that looks great...chimney or not :-)
Our winters get cool enough for home fires, Dina, so the older homes have fireplaces. But I wanted something special--"Chimney-ish," as Jean says. Shell, I suppose it gets swabbed by the occasional rain!
Kulasa, if I ever find out what it is I'll post the answer here.
that ship could be blown off course if ever a fire were lit under that chimney!
Now that you mention it, Hamilton, I wonder how it fared during our wind storm last year. Maybe it started atop a different house.
Not sure about the chimney part, but I know a non-sequitur when I see one.
Someone very creative must live here.
Visual non-sequitur. I like that, Karin.
Either that, Meghan, or someone who wants to be somewhere else!
I think that might be a roof vent!!!
We all have pellet stoves and potbelly wood fires up here so our chimneys aren't particularly interesting!!! I opted out of this one!!! Although...TheChief smoking a cigar might just qualify after all!!!
I've always wondered about the ship on top of this house. Chimney or not, it is good stuff.
I think this belongs to your King Arthur quest - the ship reminds me of the one that took his body to Avalon. I didn't know it was called a non-sequitur.
Hmm. A chimney could be a roof vent, couldn't it, Chieftess? Though I don't suppose the reverse is true. I'd have been happy with a photo of the Chief and his cigar.
I noticed it only recently, Michael. Had to have someone else driving.
Ha ha, Belllis! I've imagined that vessel to be a barge or a small boat. This one looks much grander than what I pictured. But we are all free to imagine it as we please.
It's Quirky and I like it .... as you say It's in the right place ... Just doesn't have a hole in the top.
Have a great week.
Oh my. I have missed so many good posts.
Chimney-ish sounds good to me.
Very cool "chimney". If only the ship were a weather vane...at least in imagination. It could give the neighborhood a "sense of direction" each day.
I'm with Ms M. Very cool is exactly what I thought.
I'd love to know what this actually is! Either way, such a charming and lovely scene. That ship is so sweet.
I could have put this under "superfluous details," which is one of my favorite categories of decoration.
A chimeric chimney -- wow! Crazy mashup of visual styles that's for sure. And beautiful tiles around the door.
Love It! Chimney-ish is very hip these days, you know!
That's a pretty roof ornament up there. Although that isn't a real chimney, it still looks good, perched on top of the roof. All in all, the home looks cozy and welcoming. =)
