Just a diddle of my own leaning tower. More signature-like, even
though it is still too large.

That is a startling piece of modern art depicting the social problems caused by toxic waste in a modern society. Well maybe not but in addition to a tower it looks like a 50 gallon drum that they use to store toxic materials in.

That's why nobody recognizes it. Probably this (old) version cannot be mistaken for anything "modern" so easily. ...==--. | L J .

I was just trying to find an easy-to-see version. Did not work though: Now, the same people recognize it but like - in retrospsect - the first version better. To Faux_Pseudo: have you seen the original tower? Apart from the fact that it is not so impressive in itself, the surrounding buildings take away much of the effect. It just looks like architecture gone wrong. Whereas such a leaning tower on an open piazza... :) Andreas -- ________________________________________________ http://www.ascii-art.de

To be honest. I think both versions are no good. You are trying to put too must detail in 1 small ASCII- pic. You were always good at small-ASCII, but these leaning towers are just 'loose' ensembles of ASCII-chars. Perhaps when you take the (larger) easy-to-see version and fill it in with a repetition of architectural motifs it might work. If you are not capable of doing the Pisa-tower in small-ASCII, no-one else can. Maybe llizard... or Felix Lee... or someone new I do not know. :) mic ______ \ \ \ \ \ \_ _\ \ \ \ \ \_ _\ \ \ \ \ \_ _\ \ \ \ ___________________________________\ \_________mic'03
