Clock Tower

Clock Tower

The moss growing on the tower, Gothic architecture, and gargoyles protruding on all sides were quite a sight.

And that CATwalk on TOP!!!
Could you imagine what the view would be like from up there? Oh, wait...just remembered it was by an on/off ramp...Oh well, back in the day I bet it was an awesome view! I don't see the gargoyles though. Maybe I am blind. I love the colors in this shot!
The clock looks so tiny compared to the tower.
Stormy, if you look at the corners at the same level as the clock faces you can see the gargoyles sticking out from the tower.
WOW. In this shot it's all of the intricate work from the brick up that has me spellbound.
I just know there is a princess up there to save.
Stormy, don't feel bad, I missed the gargoyles until it was brought it to attention. Thank you sir. Did anybody notice the itty bitty windows way up top??? Mr. Motts, I can't get any perspective on just how big they were. Can you tell me? Wish you could have gotten into that tower. Just like i'd like to go up to the Torch of the Statue of Liberty. As far as I know, it's only given to a chosen few. Mr. Motts, have you been up there?? Have you thought about documenting it??? It's a national treasure. Agreed, It's not in disrepair but it could be gone in the twinkleing of an eye. Think about it. And with your Photography, like no other!!!! AND WHAT ABOUT ELLIS ISLAND??? For us that can't get there. PLEASE???????????
MAKES YOU WONDER IF THERE IS AN ACCESS TO GET TO THE TOP OF THE STEEPLE.
Ellis Island is open for tours, unfortunately they wouldn't let me inside the buildings (yet).
I agree, Ellis Island would be a fantastic project for Motts. I took the tour years ago and the feeling I had walking around there reminds me of the feeling I get looking at Motts's pictures. Hopefully one day Motts will get in there!
Forever never. Never forever
Man's fight against time, and his inevitable loss against time's persistent progression.
Friggin' gorgeous building. As so many have said before, "Why can't they do this kind of stuff now?"
Ellis Island is definately a MUST! They have tours there but only in the renovated buildings.
Freaking lovely. They don't make stuff like this anymore.
You know what they say, after midnight the magic is gone. But not completely.
For all of you who want to see inside this building, Googel Flickr, become free members and then type in either "Barnes Hospital" or "Derelict Hospital" ~ there's tons of photos of this place and loads of other cool Urbex photos xxxx
Google Flickr, I meant ~ sorry, ha ha
They just don't make them like this anymore : (
Want one for my house
