Last photo from the event. I didn't take many on this drizzly day, but these group caught my eye! The 'Moggy Minors' are a favourite of Tim's, and I'm not sure, but I believe the black one is a Lotus - I should know, as I have a soft spot for Lotuses!
Dubrovnik's famous main street, known as the Stradun is paved with glistening marble and lined with shop fronts that all look exactly the same. This egalitarian design was decided on when the town was rebuilt after the earthquake.

This is the clocktower and clock house in Coggeshall, Essex. It is a bit of a practice run for this weeks SSC Challenge as I was in Coggeshall to photograph a different building.

Erected in 1861, the clock tower stands in the centre of Market Square. It is in grey ashlar stone, and is square. At the base are stepped corner buttresses, and a trefoil arch on each face. From the base is a shaft with corner pilasters, rising to form a pointed arch containing a clock face. Above this is a gable and a pyramidal roof with a finial.

A beautiful Victorian fountain/clock tower built in 1887 was a gift to the town in honour of Queen Victoria's Silver Jubilee. Horse-troughs, now filled with flowers, stand on each side, and the fountain no longer provides water.

and so to the top of the tower.
Here are two giant statues in bronze known as 'The Moors'. They were cast in 1497 by Ambrogio della Ancore. The body of the Moors is hinged at the waste enabling them to strike the bell on the hour. Each Moor strikes the bell in turn.

No, not the Leaning Tower of Siena, just my attempt to take an unusual photo of a well known landmark........
As was the nature of our trip to Tuscany, we never had very long in any one place. Siena was no different as we arrived at about 5pm and spent about two hours there. Whilst it was a great time to wander round the city unfortunately the famous tower and most churches etc were already closed. I'd definitely like to go back some time and spend a few days there.

From Wikipedia : "The Torre del Mangia is a tower in Siena, in the Tuscany region of Italy. Built in 1338-1348, it is located in the Piazza del Campo, Siena's premier square, adjacent to the Palazzo Pubblico (Town Hall). When built it was one of the tallest secular towers in medieval Italy. At 102 m, it is second tallest after Cremona's Torrazzo (112 m (367 ft)), the Asinelli tower in Bologna at 97 m being third.
The tower was built to be exactly the same height as the Siena Cathedral as a sign that the church and the state had equal amounts of power. Literally meaning "Tower of the Eater", the name refers to its first bellringer, Giovanni di Balduccio, nicknamed Mangiaguadagni ("Eat-the-profits", that is "Profit eater") either for his spendthrift tendency, idleness or gluttony."
