When I saw this photo on Flickr, I immediately thought: Wow, I should do my chimney like this. Then I looked at the photo more closely and realized that although the title indicates that this saxophone is a chimney, there is no evidence at all of any emissions coming out of this sax’s bell. Either it’s brand new and never been used, or it is only a sculpture on the roof of this house.
Whatever the case, I think this psychedelic saxophone is a beautiful addition to any roof. Wouldn’t you agree?

Good point guys. I just checked what my flues looked like. My natural gas fireplace flue is just as high as the one for my wood burning one. Huh.. Who knew? Well obviously not me!
I suspect that it is not a flue for a furnace but rather a vent for the plumbing. 😉 A smoke chimney would have to be much higher than the roof or it would cause a fire.
Just the same, it’s a really nice design. I could see quartet of those on my roof!
It could also be a vent from over a kitchen stove. Those carry smoke and smells, but not a whole lot of heat. This looks about the right diameter for that role.
