There are very few shot towers left anywhere so it's good to see this one being preserved. An excellent photograph of this historic structure in its protective bubble.

Wow, two amazing captures here, Colleen, have to go for the lead as my fave, but great viewpoints in both 👍🏻
I remember seeing on some TV program a few months back about one of these shot towers. Apparently molten lead was poured in at the top through a sieve and it formed perfectly ball shaped lead-shot before landing in a vat of water to quickly cool them down. 😃

I recognised this tower as soon as I saw your superb caprure of it Colleen. I remember this tower so well as I did my degree course at RMIT and saw it almost daily, before the dome and restoration, which I saw about 10 years ago after a long absence in the UK/Europe. Your image has done the tower and space proud.
