Brayford Pool by carole_sandford

Brayford Pool

Took this from the 7th floor of the car park, in Lincoln. Have taken this view a few times, but it was the only shot I took today. Ever so slightly faffed.
The odd looking thing bottom left is a Chime Water Clock. It’s been in situ since 2001, but hasn’t worked for many years now, though a few attempts have been made.
What a great image to give an overview of this area. I like the definite colours. Shame the clock doesn't work - it's quite a feature. :)

Interesting to see this quite wide expanse of water. I remember walking over a bridge spanning a river but this looks much wider. Great colours!

@happypat there are narrower parts Pat, I think at one time this was a wharf, with warehouses & boats delivering stuff. Now it’s more a marina & has be modernised & rebuilt all round. The buildings you can see are part of the ever expanding university.

Interesting looking chime. I love the colorful view. I was in Lincoln picking up meds today…..long way from your Lincoln though and not half as interesting.

Nice faffing, love the colours. Maybe the clock is waterlogged.

Beautiful capture and scene.

Nice highlighted colours. I don't think we noticed the water clock when we were there.
May 24th, 2024  
an interesting conjunction of the boats and buildings

Fabulous faffing, I like it alot
May 24th, 2024  
Love it. Looks great.

@busylady I can understand why, it’s just sort of plonked & not really “advertised”, you wouldn’t necessarily know that it was a clock, particularly as it doesn’t work.🤔

@olivetreeann the link below shows how the clock should work.
