"Around the Clock"

The Clock Plaza - Jaffa - Israel - 2007

@ ISO 100, f/14

The Clock Plaza (Kikar Hashaon) is one of the most famous monuments in Jaffa. The corner stone of the clock tower was laid on the year 1900 in honour of the 25th year of the Sultan's rein and six years later the building was finished. This clock tower and it's surrounding were the center of Jaffa as many goverment offices occupied the nearby compound. The two clocks at the top of the tower still work, BTW...

This photo will be exhibited at the "Harova", the new residential neighborhood built this days in Jaffa.
