Orthoceras – Tower

Orthoceras Tower, Pale Paths Through Charcoal

The Orthoceras Tower draws the eye upward, its tall, narrow outline rising from a wider, rounded base into several pointed tips. Black and dark grey form a deep backdrop for elongated pale grey and off-white markings, with scattered flecks adding small points of contrast.

Narrow, bright reflections follow the curving vertical ridges, giving the smooth, glossy faces a shifting emphasis as light meets them. Within the paler markings, repeated curved bands offer a finer rhythm: soft arcs against the tower’s striking silhouette.

There is something here to invite a little daydream—a terraced botanical garden where pale paths climb between charcoal walls. In that imagined world, the curved bands become winding steps, leading from the broad base toward a skyline of slender, pointed spires.
