Yeah, I noted in my own post that I realize this page loads too slowly; it's
one of those cases where I like the effect so much that I'm reluctant to
dispense with it, download times be damned :)
As well, this is very much a personal site, not a money-earner in any way,
and visitors to it tend to be "motivated" in the marketing sense: they
specifically want information about Almonte (a majority of my users are
former residents who've moved away and are feeling homesick), so I'm
wagering that they're a little more willing to wait in this case. I've also
made it a "splash page" that they only have to see once, with navigation
once they're inside being generally more speedy.
But just from a sense of personal professionalism I'd like to figure out a
way to maintain the quality of the effect while significantly speeding it up;
as I noted, I'm working on it :)
As to where the clock was made: dunno. The building was designed by
the same architect who created some of Canada's Parliament Buildings,
back around 1875 or so, and I wouldn't be at all surprised if special items
such as the clock itself were commissioned down in the US somewhere.
