It's the bare, wintery branches that make this photo for me. The spidery ironwork of the tower seems to have a kinship with the trees.
On close acquaintance the tower is a very solid edifice, the giant girders and rivets that make up the tower have more in common with the robust ironwork of countless nineteenth century railway bridges and station canopies. I think the tower is the final flowering of the age of the iron structure, reinforced concrete became the building material of the twentieth century and soon made all this high-maintenance ironwork seem old fashioned.
