A new year and a new theme for Wednesday. My idea for Snap is a visually linked set of between 2 and 4 images. The set can be based on colour or shape or subject or ... let's see what we collectively come up with over the year.
I was thinking about what I would use for my first snap while on my daily walk and looked at the clock on top of the school sport pavilion - and thought it would make a good subject as I also regularly see several other clock towers. I liked the idea of using clocks given how important the clock face is for marking the new year.
Top left is the one I see on my walk, top right is in the city and clock which we gathered near for New Year when I was a student in Edinburgh, bottom left is on the old town hall on my local high street and for the last I went to my photo archive for the lovely clock tower at the University of Auckland (NZ) where I worked for 15 years.
Looking forward to seeing how everyone uses this new theme.
What a diverse and interesting set of clock towers. I like the way you have the idea of time to the New Year and then one of the clocks to your New Year as a student. Would I be right in thinking that the celebrations you attended there were more low key than the fireworks of today? I remember going to Trafalagar Square in those days. Bottom left is an interesting one. It looks rather like it has its hat on!
ReplyDeleteI like this collection. Every time I see a clock tower it takes me back to the one on our school building: copper turned green.
ReplyDeleteI love clock towers, and think you are very lucky to have such beautiful ones along your walk. Great subject for the New Year!
ReplyDeleteA nice assortment. I definitely have a "thing" for clock faces. This is helpful in giving me a better idea about what you are contemplating with Snap, as well.
ReplyDeleteHappy New Year and thanks for hosting!

Wonderful Snap 4 - such gorgeous clock towers.
ReplyDeleteA wonderfully appropriate start, Helrena, and such a glorious subject. I think there could easily be a 'clock towers around the world' meme developing here :). Your Auckland photo conveys such light and graceful architecture ...
ReplyDeleteOh! yes this is a great start to your new theme. The one from NZ is very ornate and beautiful.
ReplyDeleteA wonderful new meme! I do like the idea of the clocks to mark a new year in time!
ReplyDeleteGreat set of photos to bring in the new year! I'm hoping to join in with your meme this year.
ReplyDeleteLove this collection.
ReplyDeleteGreat snaps - I must make myself a note to join in.
