Travelling Through Time ...

Travelling Through Time ...
For this week's Sunday Challenge, for which the subject was time, one of the few things we all want more of, but which is finite and so we just have to make the most of what we have.

As it happens, earlier this week we made time to visit Nunnington Hall.

This beautiful country house is situated in North Yorkshire and a stone bridge over the River Rye separates the grounds from the nearby village of Nunnington. The Vale of Pickering and the North York Moors lie to the north and east. Nunnington Hall is owned, conserved and managed as a visitor attraction by the National Trust.

A dwelling of status is actually recorded on the site from 1249, but the existing house has grown out of a Tudor hall. Over the past 450 years the house and estate has been altered to suit a succession of owners and tenants.

Within its many rooms are a host of beautiful and historical exhibits including several stunning longcase clocks. Also known as a tall-case clock, floor clock, or grandfather clock, these are tall, freestanding, weight-driven pendulum clocks with the pendulum held inside the tower or waist of the case.

The one I've shown here was in a poorly lit room and so I was struggling to get a decent hand held shot, but in the end I got this one which I was fairly happy with.

However, I wanted to put the focus on the centre of the clock face, but there were some window reflections around the edge that no matter how I positioned myself I just couldn't get rid of which is why I went with the zoom effect.

Hopefully, the processing hasn't taken away too much from the beauty of this old clock and it still makes for an effective image.

Perhaps best viewed large on black for best effect.
