Hmmm... the leaning tower of Graz? Actually, the slight tipping of the camera makes it seem bigger and more dramatic.

@Ken McCoy: Cheers, Ken! There is something even more special here, very subtle...

Lovely clock tower! It almost looks like a windmill! Seems like such a nice weather at 11:30am... if it's here in Singapore, it'd be scorching hot! :-)

Wat een typische toren, met die hokjes op elke hoek! Ik wed dat je in die hokjes vroeger de vijand kon zien naderen, en als je hem zag moest je de klok luiden! De toren lijkt wel een meneer met een hoed op :)

@Illuci: Dank je wel Erik! Deze toren is een overblijfsel van de oorspronkelijke kasteel.

Wow that is a wonderful clock - I'd love to live in the top part - what a view one would have. This is a delightful photo Markus.

I like the angle of this Markus. In the land of "super size me" we have lots of BIG things but nothing like that beautiful clock.
Cheers,
Rob

Irgendwie sind die Zeiger komisch. *schiel* Kann man denn einfach so Zeiger vertauschen? Darf man das?

@SPunkt: Hallo, Du hast recht, es war ja schon kurz vor 5. Das ist eine Tradition in Graz! Hab mal gewußt welchen Grund das hatte...
