University of Otago Clocktower

The clocktower in the old Otago University building which now houses the bureaucrats who "run" the University. The University has about 19,000 students and 2000-3000 staff. The buildings are a mixture of older stone buildings like this one, small old converted houses and some rather ugly modern concrete towers.

Photographs of the Otago University clocktower are a bit of a cliche but it is still a nice subject with interesting colours and textures from the green oxidised copper roof to the worn rock. This image is taken with a Canon EOS 500D digital SLR.
