“I sit beside the fire and think
Of all that I have seen
Of meadow flowers and butterflies
In summers that have been
Of yellow leaves and gossamer
In autumns that there were
With morning mist and silver sun
And wind upon my hair
I sit beside the fire and think
Of how the world will be
When winter comes without a spring
That I shall ever see
For still there are so many things
That I have never seen
In every wood in every spring
There is a different green
I sit beside the fire and think
Of people long ago
And people that will see a world
That I shall never know
But all the while I sit and think
Of times there were before
I listen for returning feet
And voices at the door” ~ J.R.R. Tolkien
Was playing about with different areas of focus, and on this I stacked images for more dof.
I made this by taking a real orange, making a silicone rubber mould and then casting a solid resin copy. I engraved the hole using a Dremel engraver and added laser cut cardboard cogs of varying sizes and shapes. Then another rubber mould is taken and a final casting in white resin. The orange colour is a stain applied with a cloth. The detail inside is painted with wood stain and then gold and silver framers paste is used to highlight the cogs. I made this as a paperweight.
Many thanks for all of your inspiring comments!

Clockwork refers to the inner workings of either mechanical devices like clocks.
this is a dome of a twin building in Berlin which was formerly hosting the Egyptian Museum. A spiral staircase leads up to the dome which creates this nautilus-like shape.
This is another image from my archives, which I feel deserves an online life :)
Gears of a wall clock, presumably not a very accurate one by the way those gears mesh.

Located in a former power station - this location has been opened partially as a museum, a venue for events and now and again, we suspect, used for filming the odd spot of porn.
Boom !
As a few have already guessed right, the little crank on the base has a purpose. The turning reveals an unique clockwork function in each castles.
I tried to inspire the motions by the animations in the Game of Thrones show intro, but kept it very simple to blend in with the castle design. Functionality is not one of my strengths so it was quite a challenge, but an interesting one.

I hope you like my series as much as I liked building it.
Your feedback was already overwhelming, so I'm motivated to work on a sequel for the next year. Stay tuned!
I like watches (Timepieces) and Stanley Kubrick's use of color and composition. In this image, I might even call these orange Habanero peppers hot little time bombs. HMM

Glasgow
The nickname “Clockwork Orange” for the Glasgow Underground comes from a blend of visual design and cultural reference:
Origins of the Nickname
In the late 1970s, during a major refurbishment of the Glasgow Subway, the new trains were painted in a bright orange livery—officially called *Strathclyde Red*.
The system runs in a circular loop, with trains moving both clockwise and counter-clockwise, evoking a sense of mechanical precision—like clockwork.
During a visit to the mock-up of the new trains, Sir Peter Parker, then Chair of British Rail, reportedly remarked:
“So these are the original Clockwork Orange.”
The phrase stuck, blending the orange colour with the idea of a clockwork system, and nodding to Anthony Burgess’s novel and Stanley Kubrick’s film, though the subway has no direct connection to either.
Cultural Resonance
The nickname adds a layer of quirky charm to one of the world’s oldest underground systems (third after London and Budapest).
Despite its compact size and limited reach, the Glasgow Subway remains a symbolic loop through time, especially for locals and psycho-geographers.
Get on the grind like clockwork
Move that behind like clockwork
Keep it coming on time like clockwork
