Building Elements Number 58.....Cupola

.....the latest in an occasional series tagged buildingelements

It's good to see that it looks like they're restoring/repairing rather than removing this ornamental pointy thing atop the Cullercoats Coop.....I don't think it serves any purpose mind you, except maybe ventilating the roof spaces or acting as a posh front door for the local pigeons.....

That blue sky has retreated behind the clouds now by the way.........

EDIT: Is it just me, but with the addition of a drain plunger and a large egg whisk would that cupola make a great steampunk Dalek??
