#99 Ugly

Entry 15 of 16

what does eleven minutes look like.		©2011 forkcandles
Panasonic DMC-GH1		15th place, 10 points
1/200s, f5.8, ISO 100, 262mm, Normal Program, Pattern, no flash

Post-Processing: cropped and straigthen. adjusted levels and resized and sharpened		Extra Info: Bristol had its own time based on the distance from Greenwich which was 11 minutes 0 secs west of greenwich. But the railways wanted to have a single time and was first called railway time but then then the town clocks showed the time as per greenwich plus the westerley measurement. then the time was called london time or GMT for the whole country. Bristol who was a major player in the railways have kept the corn exchange clock as GMt with actual time in Bristol as well hence two minute hands . this may be goofy for some but for the bristolians it is ok.

What an interesting story! To be honest, I don't find this clock ugly - just antique (which I must admit, is often the same)

Very interesting extra info. And -yuck!- a really awful view.

bird droppings make this very ugly, I'd hate to go and clean it LOL. And an interesting historical note.

I'm not a fan of the colour or the ornamentation around the dial but I'm not unsure if this crosses the line into ugliness for me.
