The Flemish Clock

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki...

I stumbled on this big ass clock in the entryway of the Barcelona History Museum while exploring. It was built in 1576 and ran in the cathedral until 1864.

I’ve watched blacksmithing videos for years. I’ve always wanted to try forging but never really got around to it. Seeing this machine built almost entirely of forged steel was breathtaking. To give a sense of scale, I’m 5’10”/178cm and I was maybe crouching a little for this shot.

I thought the image was more interesting in negative so I didn’t convert to positive. Shot on a Minolta XD-11 with Kodak Tri-X pushed to 3200 and a 35mm lens.
