We saw some very interesting sights on our travellers through France recently. From time to time we’d see these immense concrete water-towers.
You wouldn’t think there would be much you could do to ‘beautify’ such a tower but we were very impressed with this decoration. It must have been near Cherbourg but I’m not sure of the exact location.

@singhisback Yes, the upper part looks like a UFO.

@JudyEv - Yes, that is definitely an improvement over the typical water tower.

Oh that's lovely- I love those artistic embellishments on walls or whatever in a town- this one is beautiful!

@MarymargII I love these. They make such a difference to the appearance of a building and/or town.

@JudyEv I love art on buildings and those above are lovely--- we get many in our quaint little northern towns in Ontario.

That looks very nice. Here in the US, sometimes people will paint things on a water tower,,,or customize them to match something their town is known for..it is pretty cute really.

What a lovely idea. There are old water towers here that could really do with some decoration.

@JudyEv If the artist dropped something, what could he do?

Wow, that is something - I've never seen such a shape for a water tower. Nice painting too. Here is one from a tiny little town near me. They are famous for their "tower" water tower. It's old - and historic - something to do with the way it was built. I'm not sure why my picture isn't uploading. Here's a link though :

I thought it was lovely. It was in a seaside town so the yacht was very appropriate.
