Designed by Thai artist Chalermchai Khositpipat and unveiled in 2008 in honour of His Majesty the King, Chiang Rai’s elaborate golden clocktower (Hoh Nalika Chalerm Prakiat) is a work of art and tourist attraction in its own right. Chalermchai was the man who built the White Temple in Chiang Rai and that same distinctive architectural style from Wat Rong Khun can be seen again with the clocktower. The structure serves as a traffic roundabout and whilst it is distinctive enough during the day, the clocktower and setting takes on a whole new quality when it is lit up in the evening.
As we approached Portland through Weymouth this was the clock tower through the windscreen. (and I had hoped to get to Portland before it rained!)

The colourful facade of Chignahuapan's Parroquia de Santiago Apóstol.
1 of 2.
The church was not open during our visit.
The church was founded in the 16th century, this mortar façade was designed and refinished between 1752 and 1822.
The facade is the best example of the baroque style indigenous people adopted, hiding their gods among the array of Christian images.
For example, Tlaloc is hidden among fruits and reliefs. The gargoyles are serpents silently holding prayers addressed to Quetzalcoatl.
Above on the third floor Apostle Saint James appears in high relief, taking the entire Middle Ages with him:with his horse and his sword drawn.
In the tower on the right side is the first clock made by the famous Centenario factory in Zacatlán.
Inside the church on a neoclassical altar sits the Virgin of the Assumption accompanied by a pair of baroque altarpieces on the sides, dedicated to the Sacred Heart and the Immaculate Conception.
Constructed as a World War 1 memorial in 1928. Originally built at a nearby intersection it was eventually considered to be something of a traffic hazard so, in 1967, was carefully dismantled and rebuilt (and rededicated) a few hundred meters away.
This pre-dawn view of the clocktower and Bradenton Historic Street Pier was photographed in Bradenton Beach, Florida. Prints, and many other items, are available with this image on my website at www.tom-claud.pixels.com. Click on the link and thanks for visiting!
Yet another addition to the steampunk CB Ruins of San Victoria. This time a clocktower which will be placed in the center of the town. A bit tricky to get the stained glass to be stabile but as of now it holds together ok. Hope you like it :)

Among the many archaeological structures dating back to the Roman era, when Coimbra was the settlement of Aeminium, are its well-preserved aqueduct and cryptoporticus. Similarly, buildings from the period when Coimbra was the capital of Portugal (from 1131 to 1255) still remain. During the Late Middle Ages, with its decline as the political centre of the Kingdom of Portugal, Coimbra began to evolve into a major cultural centre. This was in large part helped by the establishment the University of Coimbra in 1290, the oldest academic institution in the Portuguese-speaking world. Apart from attracting many European and international students, the university is visited by many tourists for its monuments and history. Its historical buildings were classified as a World Heritage site by UNESCO in 2013: "Coimbra offers an outstanding example of an integrated university city with a specific urban typology as well as its own ceremonial and cultural traditions that have been kept alive through the ages."

You get good views from the top of the clocktower and it's terraces, both of the Basilica next door and northward over the old city.

I photographed this church with plain a gray sky. So I added an actual picture of clouds I photographed recently and it looked better. But I've been trying to soften my images and of all the variations I tried (and there were many) this one was the most pleasing. Not the most dramatic, but the softest.
