A Time for Rome

Clock Tower, Rome, Georgia, USA
We like this picture because of the interplay between the tree, sky, and tower on this cold winters' day.
 
The Clock Tower in Rome was originally built as a water tower in 1871.  A four-sided clock with a bell was added soon after in 1872.  The interior water tank is long gone, but the clock still stands and appears to keep time.

The angle of the hill and our perspective makes it appear that the clock is off-kilter, but this is just an illusion.
