A bit of an experiment this one. I took 10 shots all purposely slightly out of alignment at varying times to blend together to try and capture some of the hustle and bustle by the clock tower.
Dunno if it works or not, what do you think?
Clock Tower, Gravesend, Kent, 8 Nov 2009. The Catholic and Methodist churches may be seen in the background.
Unitarian church in Belmont. Perspective made the tower look a little funny but I think it's symmetrical in real life.
Works of the oldest clock in England. Made c1386 and originally installed in detached bell tower demolished in 1790
Historic Hotel Besserie, known as la maison Nicot.
"It is the superb doorway the tourists are interested in, but equally interesting is the fact whose house this used to be. Here was born M. Jean Nicot (1530–1600), who introduced tobacco to France. Nicot, nicotine… yes, the same man. In 1559 he was sent to Portugal as the French ambassador to negotiate the marriage of the Portuguese King and a French princess, and when he came back to France, he brought some tobacco with him. It was not smoked at the time, but used as a medicine for relaxing ones nerves. Catherine de Medici loved tobacco, and so it became popular at the court, which made M. Nicot a wealthy and well-known man."
La tour de l'horloge:
The Nîmes clock tower is a 31 meter high clock tower in the historic center of the city of Nîmes, in the Gard department and the Occitanie region. The current building was rebuilt from 1752 to 1754, in place of an older 15th century belfry. The summit terrace supports an elegant wrought iron bell tower in the shape of a crown enclosing the hour bell.
