Kay L. Davies said...: Delightful shadows on this striking (no pun intended) clock tower, Gemma.
There's a little town named Rosebud between here and Calgary. I don't know if it has a clock tower.

Genie said...: This is my first “modern” clock tower, and I really like it.But I think I would like any clock tower. There is something about them in Europe that I adore. They seem to be everywhere over there. Like the shadows you were able to capture. Great job. Genie; July 25, 2011 7:06 AM
Magical Mystical Teacher said...: There's probably a way to tell time with those shadows should the clock ever fail to make its appointed rounds!

I’M YOUR SHADOW

Hello, there, I’m your shadow,
I tag after you;
Whatever you are doing,
That is what I do.

If you should fling a football
Forty yards or more,
I’ll be right beside you,
Evening the score.

If you should flick a booger
From your stuffy nose,
I will surely do the same—
Watch how far it goes!

So, friend, be very careful
What you say and do—
Whatever you are doing,
I’ll do just as you!
