battle for the beach

Flickr: Jason Bache: This picture amazingly captures the think layer of clouds in the valley at the south of Lake Como, northern Italy. In the above image, the dense cloud hides almost the valley and instead gives off some artificial lights which make town such as an opaque blanket. The village over distance is clearly seen out from the blanket. The Comtoise grandfather clocks, also known as the Morez or Morbier clocks, are pendulum, weight-driven clocks, that originated from the vicinity in Morbier, found in the Franche-Comt Comt?? region of France (Cont??e inside the old spelling). These clocks were manufactured from the 17th century, before the beginning of the last century.
