The Crazy Clock Got Even Crazier

Photo date: February 18, 2016. Photographer: Mark Mahin.

On the southeast corner of Central Park in New York City there is a clock that I call the "crazy clock." A unique piece of art, the face of the clock continually rotates, surprising anyone who sees it for the first time.  In the photo below we see this "crazy clock" getting even crazier, because the light from the clock is rising up in a twisty manner.  It was another example of the paranormal effect I call the light metamorphosis, shown in this astonishing series of photos.

When I rotated 180 degrees and pointed the camera in the opposite direction, I got this photo, showing another example of the strange effect.  In neither case was the camera moving, as you can see from the sharpness of all details except the light rays.

The photos were flash photos with an exposure time of 1/30 of a second, using normal camera settings (no "Night photo" setting).
