The Ayer Mill Clock Tower is the world's largest mill clock. Its four big glass faces are only 6 inches smaller than Big Ben in London. It is the treasured icon and landmark of Lawrence, Massachusetts. The Ayer Mill, built to spin and dye yarn, was opened on October 3, 1910. Its grand, illuminated clock tower immediately became the architectural focal point of the Merrimack Valley. #UrbanJungle #landmark #lawrence #massachusetts #River
Located in the edge of a big and old cemetery, this tower is a beautiful sight in the city of Lawrence. It is also a nice place for a nice walk. #parks
The scarlet tanager is a medium-sized American songbird. Until recently placed in the tanager family, it and other members of its genus are now classified as belonging to the cardinal family. Scarlet Tanagers breed in deciduous and mixed deciduous-evergreen forests in eastern North America. They are somewhat sensitive to habitat fragmentation, so look for them in large, undisturbed tracts of forest. During migration, they move through a broader variety of forest and shrubby habitats, as well as backyards. I found this one at Rock Den Park in Lawrence, MA, during last spring. Despite of the striking plumage they’re not easy to spot because they like to spend most of the time up in the big trees. So if you are looking for them look up! #nature #newengland
