Le temps est suspendu...

... ce jour, le 19 août pour la Journée Mondiale de la Photographie, mais aussi à l'intérieur de cette vielle tour du 12ème siècle. L'horloge et les cloches témoignent du passé mais sont à jamais arrêtés. Ce sont les seules vestiges de l'ancienne église paroissiale Saint Georges (voir PiP) qui a été démolie en 1963, le clocher est tout ce qui reste.

TIME STANDS STILL... this day, August 19 for World Photography Day, but also inside this old 12th century bell tower. The clock and the bells testify to the past but are forever stopped. These are the only vestiges of the old parish church Saint Georges (see PIP) which was demolished in 1963, the bell tower is all what remains.

DIE ZEIT STEHT STILL ... am heutigen Tag, 19.August, zum Weltfotografietag, aber auch in diesem alten Glockenturm aus dem 12. Jh. Die Uhr und die Glocken zeugen von der Vergangenheit, stehen aber für immer still. Es sind die einzigen Reste der alten Pfarrkirche Saint Georges (siehe PIP), sie wurde 1963 abgerissen, der Turm ist alles, was übrig geblieben ist..

Ein sehr bemerkenswertes Trio, diese zwei Glocken und die Uhr samt Uhrwerk darunter! Sehr interessant auch der Schlägel-Mechanismus. Oft bleibt im Laufe der Zeit nur noch ein Fragment von einst Bedeutendem. Ein besonderes Foto!

Christa1004 ^club has replied to grobi358 ^club

Danke Karsten, ich fand es auch interessant, wie der Hammer der linken Glocke kurz vorher "erstarrt" ist und nie mehr schlagen wird... Hier sieht man deutlich die Zeichen der Vergänglichkeit. Schönes Wochenende.

I love all the textures and colours in the bell tower Christa. A lovely picture of how the church once looked as well. I wonder why it was demolished!

Take care and have a good weekend.

2 years ago.

Christa1004 ^club has replied to Rosalyn Hilborne ^club

Thanks Rosalyn. As the bell tower is open to outside (there is only a gate with a grid), the moisture enters and leaves green mold traces on the wall - here for textures. The church was destroyed because of the poor condition of the building. I guess in these times (1963), people were not as sensitive as today towards the old remnants of the past.

What an enchanting image and the title is perfect Christa. A wondeful find - it is like stepping back in time. I love the textures.

Christa1004 ^club has replied to Ecobird ^club

Thanks Carol, as I wrote in Rosalyn's comment, the bell tower is open to outside (only a gate with a grid), and the humidity enters and leaves green mold traces on the wall - but it's true, that gives interesting textures... Have a nice weekend.

A great image, Christa, the old tower interior has so much patina from the years! It is interesting too, to see the old church in the PiP as it once was. Best wishes for the weekend.

I love imagining you standing there looking up into the bell tower on World Photography Day!

What a gorgeous space and delightful photo of it. The softness of the colors feels so right for the long standing tower. One can feel the history.

Did you go here special for the day? Or is this a spot that draws you in on a more regular basis?

2 years ago.

Christa1004 ^club

Thanks Laura. That day I went to the supermarket in the neighbor town, and instead going there directly, I took the other way crossing the city center where is situated the old bell tower. As I was looking for a photo opportunity for August 19, I remembered the old bells, I looked through the grid of the gate - and that's the story of my photo;-))
