I'm glad you felt the need to photograph them, I find them extremely amusing ... like the pipes have their mouths wide open yelling. As for the artwork, they'd look quite dull without it.
I would guess: climate control unit exhausts of a university building, department of physics or something - they look the same everywhere ;-), eh, the buildings.
AB, this photo is haunting me, not kidding, ;-) School was my first idea but then I thought schools usually don't have elaborate climate control thingies ... . Haunting because since this posting I am wondering about this 70's style of "Waschbetonfassaden" and if I am right that this is a only-German style ...
Next time you hear someone say this country is "going down the tubes" you'll know where it went.
ReplyDeletea bit like ship's funnel.

ReplyDeleteThe graffiti defintely makes these tubes more interesting!
ReplyDeleteInteresting find! They look like three long robot fingers, half-buried.
ReplyDeleteI can quite understand the need to photograph them. They look like sentinels standing guard duty.
