Albert Memorial Clock...

15 January 2011

I have chosen to show the overall image of the Albert Clock today, the day before SOOC Sunday because this picture is not straight out of the camera...

There has been a considerable amount of restoration work completed on the clock in recent years.  The craftsmen involved did an amazing job...

I cropped it and then I lightened it a bit so that the detail of the clock could be seen a better as the lower half of the structure was in too much shade...

I know the clock looks a bit slanted but the clock does actually lean... by approx 1.5 m.  This has been stabilised as part of the restoration works... 


There is a lovely view of the Cavehill, the cliffs, Napoleons Nose and Belfast Castle when you look down the street from the front of the Albert Clock...

When I was young the area around the Albert Clock had a bit of a dodgey reputation...
