The Alphabet Project | O is for overhead

Hello everyone and welcome to letter O of the Alphabet Photography Project. Thank you to those of you that joined in with letter N last week.

This week I thought I’d share this iconic clock which juts over the cobbles of Guildford High Street. I love looking skyward and used to do it a lot in London. This 1683 timepiece is striking and now in pristine condition having had repairs carried out last year. The gold leaf gilding was stripped and replaced and parts of the mechanical clock movement were mended. You can see this beautiful Guildhall clock from pretty much anywhere in the High Street.

How to join in #alphabetphoto 

To join in with the Alphabet Photography Project, all you need to do is link up a post with a photograph that represents the letter O. It’s your call on how you interpret the theme – it might be an object, an adjective or a representation of that letter.

Your photograph can be from any time too so don’t feel you have to take a fresh one each week! You can join in every week or once in a while too, it’s entirely up to you.

If you need any hints, head over to the Alphabet Photography Project page.

You can also join the #alphabetphoto project on Instagram (PODcast is here). Feel free to link up your Instagram photo here too. You can also share your post in the Pinterest and Facebook groups or in the Google+ community.

The Alphabet Photography Project runs weekly with a new letter every Wednesday. You can link up your post anytime from that day to the following Tuesday.
