It's hard to tell from the angles shown, but that clock tower is a hexagonal structure with clock faces on two of the sides. One side is facing the sea; the other side is facing the town.
You would think the two clocks are on the opposite sides of the tower, but nope, they're positioned in a way that makes you think there should be a third clock on the thing. Some of the residents are probably really, really bothered by that... unevenness...
That clock is gorgeous! Not that that's a surprise, since it was drawn by you, but still.
There will be lots of opportunities to show architectural things like that down the road!
so i just started reading heart of keol and caught up, now i'm itching for the next page so badly !! T^T
Aw, I know the feeling! There's some very interesting things waiting just around the corner, and I hope they're worth the wait for you. :D
In addition to being a public timepiece, is it also a maritime navigational beacon? Although not often practiced, it is a well-known but rarely implemented principle that adding clockfaces to a lighthouse makes the assemblage function more reliably.
Many hands make light work. ^_^
Fun fact: Korea didn't have any lighthouses until like mid-20th century, I believe! But this is Keol, not Korea, so there are some lighthouses around. Not that clocktower, though.
My God, that is a gorgeous clock. Ooo, the pretty colors! *_*
