Clock Tower at Massey College

 

The clock tower with bell at Massey College really shows itself as 1960's architecture. I love it. The architect for the college and all of its furnishings was Roy Thom. The bell chimes three times a day at meal time. I was shooting into really strong sunshine so had to remove a lot of shadow to show the tower.

    Strong sunlight is always a challenge. I think of this architecture as "modern" but then I'm from the 1960s. It is a great looking bell tower. Is there a clock of other sides?

    Always tricky shooting in that type of light. Nice looking tower.

    There was a lot of rubbish buildings designed and built in the 60s, but this is not one of them. I love it.

    It does look different. Another era.

    Me gustan los campanarios y subir a ellos.
    Buen fin de semana.

    When I defended my Ph.D. it was in the round room at Massey College.
