A view through time , in the foreground obviously is the Elizabeth Tower housing Big Ben ( a shot before all the scaffolding went up ) and beyond is Westminster Abbey which goes back in time even further .
Westminster Abbey is steeped in more than a thousand years of history. Benedictine monks first came to this site in the middle of the tenth century, establishing a tradition of daily worship which continues to this day.
The Abbey has been the coronation church since 1066 and is the final resting place of seventeen monarchs. The present church, begun by Henry III in 1245, is one of the most important Gothic buildings in the country, with the medieval shrine of an Anglo-Saxon saint still at its heart.
A treasure house of paintings, stained glass, pavements, textiles and other artefacts, Westminster Abbey is also the place where some of the most significant people in the nation's history are buried or commemorated. Taken as a whole the tombs and memorials comprise the most significant single collection of monumental sculpture anywhere in the United Kingdom.

The clock in the middle of Grand Central holds a secret. The little point at the top is a compass that's aligned to true north, so the four sides of the clock line up perfectly with the four compass points of the building.
L'horloge au milieu de Grand Central détient un secret. Le petit point au sommet est une boussole, de sorte que les quatre côtés de l'horloge s'alignent parfaitement avec les quatre points cardinaux.

There's this huge Dr Seuss type sculpture in Holland Park (Surrey). The crow was actually perched on top of it. I didn't PS it in. I swear.
Dolmabahçe Clock Tower (Turkish: Dolmabahçe Saat Kulesi) is a clock tower situated outside Dolmabahçe Palace in Istanbul, Turkey. The tower was ordered by Ottoman sultan Abdülhamid II (1842–1918) and designed by the court architect Sarkis Balyan between 1890 and 1895.
The clock tower was added to Dolmabahçe Palace, and stands in front of its Treasury Gate on a square along the European waterfront of Bosphorus next to Dolmabahçe Mosque. Designed in Ottoman neo-baroque style, the four-sided, four-story tower stands on a floor area of 8.5 × 8.5 m (28 × 28 ft) at a height of 27 m (89 ft). Its clock was manufactured by the renowned French clockmaker house of Jean-Paul Garnier, and installed by the court clock master Johann Mayer. In 1979, the original mechanical clock was converted partly to an electrical one. On two opposite sides of the tower, the tughra of Sultan Abdul Hamid II is put on

1970's Yashica Electro 35 GSN with Yashinon 1.7/45mm on Fomapan 400 in PC-Glycol 1+50 (25 g/L Borax) for 11.25 mins @ 19C.
From a test roll. Still trying out recipes with PC-Glycol to see if I can get one that isn't too grainy. Fomapan 400 is pretty grainy and so even with borax, which is supposed to reduce the grain (lower ph than carbonate), it is still pretty heavy grain! Not as nice as the sodium carbonate with potassium bromide version. Next try will be borax with potassium bromide.
