The Millennium Clock in Eastwood. The post just to the right of it has a representation of a Phoenix on the top. This image is all over the town, little steel plates in the pavement, picked out with different colour bricks in walls, and names of various businesses. I asked at least 10 people what it represented, and nobody could give me a definitive answer. There seemed to be a general belief that it was something to do with D.H. Lawrence who was born here. I later found out it is part of the town coat of arms. Lawrence took it as his own.
"spun" off from my motherboard clock, I decided to turn an old hard drive into a clock too. It originally had two disks, but the clock wouldn't have fit, so I just used one. It's on my wall next to my motherboard clock; the original idea was to "connect" them via an ide cable, but the plug on this is no longer there...

9:40:18 PM, 2007/04/02. The old clock still works!
Snowy snowy night! About two weeks ago, the daytime temperature was about +20 C like summer. Just before taking this photo, I was walking around in a severe -40 C wind chill (my estimate) outside downtown. So the mild gusts shown here were like a tropical breeze in comparison.
Hope you like!
