word choice - "high" vs. "tall"


Chimney




  1. The chimney in the picture above is more than 20m high.





  2. The chimney in the picture above is more than 20m tall.




Are both high and tall proper in these sentences?


If not, why not? And when should one prefer high over tall, and vice versa?
