Industrial Eyesores Disguised with Art

Nobody wants to look at a ugly factory smokestacks, whether they live nearby or have to drive past them every day.  Some cities have taken to allowing artists to spruce up the eyesores, giving them a facelift with some paint and a lot of imagination.  Artist Frederic Gracia painted these smokestacks in Bagnolet, France – a huge improvement over the formerly rusty-brown intrusions into the sky.  To produce the trompe l’oeil (trick-the-eye) effect, an assistant on the ground guided Frederic with a  walkie-talkie.  The largest of the water droplets is 1.1 meters wide.
