For my Straight out of the Camera Sunday I have chosen to use photographs that I took of some of the sculptural details on the Albert Clock in Belfast...
None of the photographs have been altered in any way other than some cropping...
I love the lions... they are so stately...
Pigeons don't show the stately lion much respect as his crown makes a useful perch...
Fabulous worksmanship...
I loved the reflection in the glass of the nearby building...
Prince Albert...

There are a number of angels among the sculptures on the clock tower...
The bell tower at the top is very ornate... The sky is very vivid blue in some of the photographs... It was sunny but I didn't use any type of filters... The photographs were all taken using the Nikon D3000 DSLR camera and either the 18-55mm kit lense or the 55-200mm zoom lense.
The gargoyles look like really cute hounds...
I am very fond of the gargoyles...
Very ornate...
