Monochrome Madness: Clocks
Posted on November 14, 2025
The clock on this tower – on the island of Burano, in the Venetian Lagoon – is unusual insofar as, if you look closely, it only has an hour hand and no minute hand. Perhaps time wasn’t so over-ridingly important, and the need for precision less pressing, back in the Middle Ages.
Clock
Posted on September 24, 2021
The Collegiale church in Le Dorat has an imposing tower with a four-sided steepled roof. Fortuitously, there is a clock on each side of this sloping roof (which meets the criterion for this week’s Black & White Challenge) and as the sun sets on a very bright day, there is a pleasing contrast between the light and shady sides.
Indeed, I think this is brought out more effectively with a monochrome treatment, as here.
Tuesday Photo Challenge: Hour
Posted on October 4, 2017
Not a hundred per cent on brief for Frank’s challenge this week, but it’s worth seeing this unusual (I could say striking, but I don’t think it does) water-clock – or clock with water feature at any rate – to be found in the centre of the town of Thiers, in the Auvergne region of central France.
At least you know exactly what hour it was.
