Chequered tower

This Minster Tower is in St Marys Butts, Reading. The tower is beautifully chequered with black squares made from local flint and stark against the uniformly blue sky. The tower pierces the heavens and the castellations provide perforations - tear here for access...

The harsh, angular, geometric shapes of the tiles, the castellations, the louvres and the spires (with knobbly bits and lightening conductors) are partially softened by the arches.
