We decided to go for a late night drive today to get some night shots. I took a bunch of cars driving past on the street and a bunch of the clock tower from a different angle. I spotted this shot with the clock framed in the tree right as I was taking my tripod down to put back in the car. Glad I looked up!
Spent last weekend in Strandhill with the brother-in-law and sister-in-law.Colm is big into woodwork and started wood turning in the last few years.He made this clock for his daughter.He shapes small pieces of wood(I think Walnut) into a disc shape and glues them together,then builds up the layers.He lost count of the number of pieces he used but reckons it is over a thousand.There are three sections,the base,main body and the head.
There are ridiculously engineered gears in here that do different things depending on twisting and pulling the knob.

The first day of spring was once the time for taking the young virgins into the fields, there in dalliance to set an example in fertility for nature to follow. Now we just set the clocks an hour ahead and change the oil in the crankcase. ~E.B. White

This clock has looked out over Halifax for more than a century and is a landmark welcoming sailors visiting the port city. It stands below the Citadel, a fortification built by the British to protect Halifax over its colonial years. The Citadel is open to visitors and the grounds are a site for kite flying, snow sledding and other activities.
this is what my clock looked like when it was half done.
