I didn't get a chance to ask him about this clock so I don't know if its old or not. Do you know Kenny.
The clock tower of the Palace of Westminster (a.k.a. the Houses of Parliament) in London. Not Big Ben, which is the bell inside.
if you're lost you can look and you will find me
time after time
if you fall I will catch you...I'll be waiting
time after time
after my picture fades and darkness has turned to gray
watching through windows ...
you're wondering if I'm ok
secrets stolen from deep inside
the drum beats out of time
you said go slow ... I fall behind
the second hand unwinds
time after time

Inside the clock at the top of the Bath Abbey tower.
Bath Abbey dates back to the end of the 11th century – when Bishop John transferred his seat from Wells, demolished the city’s Saxon Abbey and replaced it with a Norman Cathedral that doubled as the church of the monastery – but there were religious buildings on the same site for many hundreds of years before.
Much of the work was carried out by Bishop Oliver King in the late 15th century. The bishop was said to have had a vision of angles ascending and descending a ladder during his visit to Bath in 1499 and the west front depicts that vision.
The monastery was dissolved by Henry VIII in 1539, but the church itself was saved and in 1574 Queen Elizabeth I promoted its restoration, which was completed by 1611.
Wear and tear meant it was restored once more by Sir George Gilbert Scott in the 1860s and again in the late 20th century, more damage having been inflicted by bombing during the Second World War.
One of the first images taken with the new camera, after the old one drowned. Not sure what to think of it yet. It works so far, but I haven't yet figured out its "performance envelope".

In 1410, the astronomical clock was mounted on the south side of the tower, but it was not completed until later. The oldest part of the clock is the central astronomical-astrological part, based on the geocentric conception of the motions of the planets and it represents the common form of telling the time from that period.

I used an old Canon optical image stabilizer lens [EF-S 17-85mm 1:4-5.6 IS USM] on an EOS 450D DSLR. With exposures of up to a 1/4 of a second, most of the images had to be discarded, and the remainder are very "grainy" / "noisy", but the pictures at least form a sort of record of the event...
