Pretty impressive!! I'd want to climb the clock tower and stick out the door in the clock like a cukoo!! ^_^

That sandstone block construction sure makes it seem big and massive!!

It was big, but it didn't seem as big as Athens. Athens LOOMED!

Awesome! And you had a great sky to go behind it all. :D

[laurapalmer813]

Thanks! Except for the 15 minute violent downpour, the sky was excellent! :)

What an awesome building. I am a little disappointed you didn't see anything ghostly, though! Oh well.

Well I did see a ghost left over from an old "haunted house" tour, and also a skeleton. But I don't think that counts. I also got what I think is an "orb" in the infamous stretcher room (in case you saw the ghost hunters ep., that's the room where someone was supposedly dragged across the room by her hair or something).

Your clock tower pictures are wonderful. Thank you for posting them.
