Potton's pretty little clock tower cum library cum police office provides a welcome splash of colour on a cold, wet and grey winter's day.

I considered making a few edits to this photo, but I decided to just leave it alone.

I was asked by the President of Malta, George Abela to work on this project to raise money for the Malta Community Chest Fund. Musical Director, Sigmund Mifsud had already chosen and orchestrated a series of rock classics pieces to be played by the Malta Philharmonic Orchestra. The Rockestra show took place on the 12th September at the MFCC. Ticket sales were expected to be around 3,000 but I am very pleased to say that they sold out at 12,000. This is the largest indoor event ever held in Malta.
The evening included pieces by Coldplay, Pink Floyd, Deep Purple, Led Zeppelin, Bob Marley, The Eagles and John Miles, so had a strong 70’s leaning and I wanted to reflect that in the imagery.
The local artists were The Riffs, Jotham Saliba, Claire Caruana, Alex Bezzina, Raquela, Neville Refalo, Daniel Cauchi, Ruben Zahra, Paul Borg Bonaci and DJ Owen.

I wish the light had been better for this pair of beautiful Victoriani. At the Triangle in New England, Peterborough. The fountain doesn't work and is in a poor state of repair, but it's a rather elegant little spire of sandstone and granite. I didn't notice a maker's mark but there's a plaque on it with a Latin inscription that I'm currently trying to decipher from another (offline) pic.
I think the latin inscription reads: In / priam memoriam / parentum / marime dilectorum / Josephi et Rebecca / Ball / ???? fontein / filius (?) / et quituor superates / filiaque / dedicant
Very roughly in loving memory of the parents of one Charles Ball, who was vicar of St Paul's church, in the district of New England, just behind me in this shot. The Triangle lies on the southern edge of the district but has become somewhat isolated and inaccessible due to the traffic.
The plaque is very pitted so really needs a brass rubbing to see the text clearly. Odd that no date has been included, but it was erected in 1884.
The clock was recently repaired, I think it's a unique mechanism, but the repairs included covering the faces with Perspex. This has not fared well under the twin onslaught of sun and rain and the faces have become hard to read.
Sorry the Hovis sign is only visible on 'Large', but I figured it was important enough to be recorded in the 'Old British Signs' pool.
Medieval Marketplace
Welcome to the third project of my little medieval town - Medieval Marketplace!
In my marketplace you can see a tall tower with an astronomical clock on one side (a copy of the Old Town Hall Tower) and ordinary clocks on the other.
On the same square, life is in full swing! Here you will see a butcher chopping a piece of meat for the next customer - an old astronomer in a luxurious hat, and a fish merchant. A prosperous merchant with all kinds of trinkets, living in a house near the tower and unloading all sorts of supplies from the cart. A baker just baked another pretzel in his bakery. Well and of course the guards keeping order. :)
The project also includes 10 minifigures:
a jester fireman,
two guards,
a merchant of some supplies,
a fish merchant,
a baker,
a butcher,
two peasants,
a horse
The second floor of the houses and the roofs are easily removed. The whole model is fully playable. The tower is empty inside.
I was inspired to create this project by my trip to Prague last summer. Initially, I planned to create a project only for the Astronomical Clock (Old Town Hall Tower), but having built the tower, I decided to slightly change it and add a market square to it - in the end it’s a fantasy! :)
Also, when building this project, I was inspired by such clock towers as The Zytglogge and Ledbury Clock Tower, and a set of lego castle 10193 medieval marketplace.
I hope you enjoyed

The upper circular component (an astrolbe or simple planetarium) was installed in 1410 and has run more-or-less continuously since then. There are several moving parts, including the outer zodiacal ring and symbols representing the sun and moon whose positions vary with the celestial locations of these bodies. Rumor has it that the craftsman who made this mechanism was blinded so that he could not replicate this invention in any other city. At the top, under the arched portico, a golden rooster crows three times at the conclusion of each hourly episode. On the hour, the two blue doors open to reveal the passage of two sets of 6 carved apostles, added in the 17th century. Four animated statues flank the astronomical clock; the two on the left represent Vanity and Greed, while the two on the right embody Death and Lust. (Prague: Old Town Hall: 19-21 May, 2017)
The clock is in the Norman north transept it is known as "The Exeter Astronomical Clock" and dating from 1484 the smaller minute dial was added in 1760.
The time is 13.30 and the date is the 29th

I guess that's one way to hide an ugly building, and I'd love to rehabilitate the clock with LED backlighting and perhaps some interactivity.

Man on the street might just as well be...
So I am asked, "What's the picture of the clock for? Are you creating some sort of documentary of your life?" My response, "Yeah, something like that I suppose." Sheesh, I always thought I was just a simple camera nut, the question got me thinking, "just what is the goal here?"
...outside, outside the world, out there you don't here the echos and calls.
Currently sampling paint colors. We wanted an avocado/lime color to match our sofa on the wall behind our hutch/clock. Living with this for a while to see how we like it.
(Clock was a xmas gift I bought for Andis this year. Owls and mid-century Godiva sculpture are family heirlooms we inherited.)
