Paris, France

 

I'm pretty chuffed with this photo and you may be wondering why, because it looks like I have cut half the tower off. Well you would be correct, but the rest had restoration scaffolding around it, so I was sort of hamstrung on that front.

 

The reason I am chuffed, is easily answered if you google image analogue watches. If you look at any professional and a lot of amateur watch photos, you will notice a similar theme to nearly all of the photos. Once you have done that, come back and see why I am chuffed.

 

Oh and some Wikipedia information.

Big Ben is the nickname for the Great Bell of the clock at the north end of the Palace of Westminster in London and is usually extended to refer to both the clock and the clock tower as well. The tower is officially known as Elizabeth Tower, renamed to celebrate the Diamond Jubilee of Elizabeth II in 2012; previously, it was known simply as the Clock Tower.

 

When completed in 1859, it was, says clockmaker Ian Westworth, “the prince of timekeepers: the biggest, most accurate four-faced striking and chiming clock in the world.” The tower had its 150th anniversary on 31 May 2009, during which celebratory events took place.

 

A British cultural icon, the tower is one of the most prominent symbols of the United Kingdom and is often in the establishing shot of films set in London.

I had to stop for this picture, as my 17-year old Toyota Corolla clocked 111111.

Didn’t want it to be a “huge shock”. Why do we do this twice a year? Why not just pick a time and stick with it? Doesn’t AZ?

That clock. Again. I've shot this clock before, many times. Everybody who comes to Chester with a camera takes a photo of this clock - it is after all the second most photographed clock in the UK (after Big Ben).

 

Why take another one? Well, I'm going to return each month during 2018 and take a series of images from the same spot, with the same camera settings to see how the scene changes as the year progresses.

 

Over time we might get to discover, for example, whether and when the retail outlet on the right hand side (formerly a Disney Store) gets relet. I can't help thinking though if Disney can't make money out of a location like that, who can?

Eastgate Clock in Chester, Cheshire, England, stands on the site of the original entrance to the Roman fortress of Deva Victrix. It is a prominent landmark in the city of Chester and is said to be the most photographed clock in England after Big Ben.

The dandelion clock seen up close is wonderful. The symmetry of each part of it, repeated across the whole is an amzing feat of nature.

Inspired by some of the other spiral clock images on Flickr I decided to try and make some of my own. Here's my first attempt... using the MathMap Droste effect code tutorial here on Flickr. Hopefully I will produce more original and interesting images as I practice.

 

Now available as an actual clock from Cafepress. See actual object here.
