20120331 The Clocks of St Peters

A view of St. Peterskirche, in Zürich, Switzerland, shot from the University, looking towards Niederdorf, and with Enge church and the slopes of Uetliberg in the distance.

With parts of the church dating back to the 900s AD, St Peter's Church is the oldest parish church in Zurich, and also carries the largest church clocks in Europe, at a diameter of 8.64m (over 28 feet). For centuries the clocks served as the official time for Zurich.

Shot with a Nikon D40 and a Nikkor AFS DX 18-200mm F/3.5-5.6G lens, and processed in GIMP and Photoscape.
