Back in October, I had the chance to get a private tour inside the clock tower that stands atop the courthouse in Cody, Wyoming. It's a beautiful clock, and it had recently been restored.
The visit was courtesy of my brother-in-law Dennis (shown above), the current caretaker for the 1913 Seth Thomas clock works that reside inside the tower. The mechanism rests on a cast table in the center of the tower, with arms that extend to each of the four clock faces. It was amazing to me to see this clock from inside, especially considering that it is 96 years old and still keeping good time.
It only seemed appropriate to process the images in black-and-white, considering the subject.
I love old stuff like this.
Tech info: Shot with a Canon XTi with Canon 17-40 f/4L lens, handheld. Interior shots are a combination of available light coming in through the clock faces and a shoe-mounted Canon 550EX strobe bounced above and behind me. Processed with Photoshop Elements.
