Green ‘n gold Clock Tower of the Rugby World Cup

The V&A Waterfront's well-known red Clock Tower got a fresh coat of green and gold paint in preparation for the 2011 Rugby World Cup.

A fresh coat of paint for a rugby tournament? In case you were wondering, yes, we are a rugby-crazy nation.

I far prefer the red version of the clock tower, but one can't deny that to paint the building in our national sporting colours is a great symbol of support for the national team. That said, I do hope that the tower returns to its traditional red colour after we win the World Cup, again. ;)
