I am calling on my lowcountry sleuths to solve this one for me. What is the white floral object on the peak of the roof? A friend of mine from the upstate noticed it when she was visiting Charleston so I tracked it down myself this morning. The bottom photo shows the enlargement and it really does look like a flower. What do you think?
Its a Roof finial
ReplyDeleteDecorative one. I've never seen a flower before.
DeleteIt's an alien landing signaling device.
ReplyDeleteSee, now this is why I like you!
DeleteI like the owl though.
ReplyDeleteThe owl was used during the victorian era for protection. They believed it protected the home from evil spirits.
ReplyDeleteReally?! I assumed it was to keep small birds from flying in. Why did I think that? Silly me.
DeleteI thought the same thing about owls on rooftops. Interesting.
DeleteNo question. It is a NSA listening station antenna. Whisper when you are in the area.
ReplyDeleteJack! I knew I could depend on you!
DeleteIt's designed for the sole purpose of making people wonder what that is.
ReplyDeleteYou might be right. If so, they won!
DeleteEither a quite cleverly disguised lightning rod, or a device for ET to phone home?
ReplyDeleteET lives in the attic and had to find a signal. That's it!
DeleteThis beautiful East Battery home is one of my favorites! I'm surprised the Estonian flag isn't flying - it's a private home and also serves as the Estonian Consulate in Charleston.
