Église Saint-Severin
The Clock
Just beneath the pipes of the Jean Ferrand organ (1748)
is the church clock which on this day was right on time.
In a church that dates back to the 13th century,
I would think that the clock has been updated
and reworked many times.
Do you think that the inner workings are digital?

Looks peaceful.
ReplyDeleteHow curious to see a clock in a church, and high up in the back where it's difficult to see anyway!
ReplyDeleteSuperbe prise de vue !
ReplyDeleteCould be. The whole organ and woodwork behind and above the clock is also of a much newer time then the church I think.
ReplyDeleteI like the way they surrounded it in woodwork to make it fit in. I am sure its workings are modern but the rest of it takes us back in time.
ReplyDeleteLove the photograph of what looks like a beautiful place.

I guess the only way to know would be to stand under the clock and listen for the tick-tock!
ReplyDeleteI love this shot!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful! And an interesting question!
ReplyDeleteMany congregations probably wish for such a clock.....for their ministers to consult during the service......
ReplyDeleteI might be inclined to think it's still analog as opposed to digital.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful shot!
Your angle really shows of the enormity of this church Genie. Very grand. Oh and no I don't think that the inner workings of the clock are digital but I'll bet it keeps perfect time.
ReplyDelete«Louis» has heard the organ in this church. It has a sweet tone that is nicely scaled to this worship space.
ReplyDeleteAnother of your fine detail shots you have such a genius for, Genie!
