MATCHING PICTURES
AND SOUND
  Hearing and Seeing Things Differently

The music for this month is: 'The Clock Symphony' by Haydn

chosen by Jacqui.

On the stroke of every hour, the clock comes to life. A storm rises with sounds of thunder from inside the large globe. The globe then opens up, revealing the face of the North Wind, and with eyes rolling the storm rises- The Wind blows out smoke to knock the weatherman off his feet. The storm then dies down and calm weather returns.
The Lightning Clock not only tells the time but the dials at the base of the clock give the temperature, wind speed & direction and barometric pressure so you can see what is in store for Royal Quays.
Lighting Clock was commissioned by North Tyneside Arts as part of Art on the Riverside funded by the Arts Council of England with Naticnal Lottery Funds and supported by REALM outlet centre management.

Struggled a bit with the picture choice cos there were no words and I only feel very sad when I hear classical music, even though my Mum told me it was a 'happy' tune.

My entry is "the clock" which you may remember as the pub at the junction of Victoria road and Black road. I arrived to take the photo at one minute past one to coincide with the symphony being number 101. However, the clock is broken and stopped on 7.35. Harold

This is a picture of the handless, numberless 'Time Eater Clock' unveiled by Stephen Hawking in Sep.2008.
An amazing invention by John Taylor costing £1 million, it is outside Corpus Christie college.
Because of the refelections in the glass on the front, I couldn't capture the huge grasshopper on the top which eats away the time.
It can be seen operating on various web sites and also on U-tube.
Google ' Time Eater Clock' Cambridge UK. Well worth a visit.

I thought the rhythm of the music could also apply to a 'marching movement - left, right, tick,tock . . . hence my picture of a guard outside the Royal Palace in Athens stepping-it out very grandly. Taken about 2 years ago during a holiday.
