136/365 Grandfather clock

This is a closeup of the minute-hand of our grandfather clock. My grandfather actually built this. He's a fantastic woodworker, and one of his favorite things to put together has always been clocks. And this one is beautiful.

Every room in our house has at least one item that Grandpa has made -- tables, cabinets, jewelry boxes, turned bowls, picture frames, clocks, bookcases, you name it. He'll be 88 years old in October, and he is still as creative and busy as ever. Whenever I smell sawdust, I immediately think of being in Grandpa's workshop.

Camera: Canon 40D with 60mm macro lens, 1/60s, f/2.8 at ISO 1600 in natural light at about 8:00 p.m.
