Clock of the former ‘Royal Oak Benefit Society’ founded in 1837 as a ‘friendly society’ - latterly based in John Street, London
Using my Christmas lights draped over my wall clock in the spare room. Just trying something different with my photography until the dark nights have pulled out. For this image the only light in the room is from the white Xmas lights and a little fill-in light from my phone on the face of the clock. The wallpaper is homage to my love of books. I have hundreds of books - although I need to find time to read them all and not just look at them on the shelves.
The clock tower at the site of the Enka plant, the tower is all that is left of a plant that one time employed over 5,000 workers.

The astronomical clock of Besançon is housed in Besançon Cathedral. Besançon's present astronomical clock, made in 1860 by Auguste-Lucien Vérité fr:Auguste-Lucien Vérité of Beauvais to replace an earlier and unsatisfactory one made by Bernardin in the 1850s, differs from those in Strasbourg, Lyon and Beauvais. The clock is meant to express the theological concept that each second of the day the Resurrection of Christ transforms the existence of man and of the world.
The clock stands 5.8 meters high and 2.5 meters wide, and has 30,000 mechanical parts. It sits in its own room in the clocktower. Verite's coat of arms, those of Cardinal Mathieu, and of the cathedral appear on the front of the clock.
Seventy dials provide 122 indications. These include the seconds, hours, days and years. The clock is a perpetual one that can register up to 10,000 years, including adjustments for leap year cycles. The clock also indicates the times of sunrise and sunset.
Twenty-one automated figures either ring the quarter-hour and the hour, or perform the Resurrection of Christ at noon, and his burial at 3 pm.
The clock also has animated pictures of seven different French harbours and indicates the hours and height of the tides there on dials. One of the harbours is Saint-Pierre, Martinique; another is Cayenne, French Guiana. There is an eighth animated picture, this one of Saint Helena, where the former emperor Napoleon died in exile.
An orrery (planetarium) is part of the clock and it shows the motions and orbits of the planets. The planetary motions are congruent with those of the actual planets so that the planetarium reproduces eclipses as they occur.
The central part of the main body of the clock has 12 dials for parts of the civil calendar, and five for the liturgical calendars The dials showing the civil calendar show the month, date, day, the solar element that gave its name to the day of the week (e.g., the sun for Sunday), the season, the sign of the Zodiac, the length of the day, the length of the night, the seconds, and the times for sunrise and sunset. One dial gives the date of Easter, and this acts as the driver for dials that present the date for five key days of the Roman Catholic liturgical calendar.
Two columns have 10 dials each. The bottom eight dials show the time in different major cities around the world, including New York and San Francisco, though without adjustment for daylight savings time. The two top dials on the left column show the number of solar and lunar eclipses in the current year. The two dials on the right column show the leap years and leap centuries. The hand on the leap century dial moved for the first time in 2000; it will move for the second time in 2400.
A pyramidal arrangement of figures caps the clock. The 12 apostles form the base; two different apostles come out each hour to strike the hour. Also, every hour the three virtues, Faith, Hope, and Charity, move, with Faith showing the chalice to Charity and Hope, which stand to her right and left. Above them the statues of the archangels Michael and Gabriel strike the quarter-hours.
At the top of the clock, at midday, Christ arises from his tomb, and at the 3p.m. he returns to it. When he arises, Mary, his mother and Queen of the world, raises her sceptre; she lowers it when he returns to his tomb.
Through a system of universal joints extending some 100 meters, the clock drives four dials that sit on the four sides of the cathedral's tower, thus providing the time of day to the city. A fifth dial is inside the cathedral. The outside dials also show, respectively, the season, the day of the week, and the month of the year. Cables from the clock activate bells in the tower that sound the quarter hour and the hour.
Eleven different descending weights drive the clock. Three of the weights need to be reset each day.
Dandelion clocks everywhere all of a sudden.
There has bee no grazing on the fields beside me this Spring. It has been interesting and enjoyable to see the Cuckoo flowers and the dandelions get to grow unheeded.
The farmer, Ronnie, has retired and signed over the land to his children, I understand it will be let out to other farmers so current situation will probably change pretty soon.

Downtown Pittsburgh
Kaufmann's flagship "The Big Store" has a large landmark outdoor Clock on the corner of Fifth Avenue at Smithfield Street beside the building. The clock became a popular downtown meeting place, with the oft used phrase "Meet me under Kaufmann's clock." The clock is a Pittsburgh icon, and often featured in visual materials representing and marketing the city.

Even though I am not going out much nowadays because my work is taking almost all of my energy and giving me an aching body instead! However, I still managed to photograph something :) I hope you like this one :)
This HDR image was composed of 9 exposures with 1/3 EV spacing using the ABE (Auto Bracketing Exposure) of CHDK. I also tried not to push the HDR effect too much.
I want to give special thanks to my co-worker Bernie who gave me this antique clock to photograph it! It is at least 40 years old and says “Made in Germany”! It is a table clock and it’s really not that big...its dimensions are about 7x7 cm (less than 3x3 inches). Its brand is called ‘Renown’ but I can’t find any helpful info. on the Internet about the company to get more info. about this clock. Of course, it was working before I opened it, but as soon as I opened it the springs went “boing!” That means “The End” for this clock’s life :( But you know what? It gave its life for a worthy cause: photography!
PS: if you are wondering about the title, it is inspired by BMW: Bavarian Motor Works :)

クラウンスペシャルは高級機です。価格は現在の所得水準で120,000円くらい。名前からしてクラウンのグレードアップかと思いきやグランドセイコーのマイナーチェンジといった方が妥当なのだそうな。中身がほぼグランドセイコー。グランドセイコーが現在の所得水準で395,000円くらい。クラウンが87,000円だったので、ちょっととびぬけて高い！そこで高級機でありながら求めやすいこのクラウンスペシャルが登場した模様です。ユニークのあたりで述べた差別化戦略が行き過ぎたので調整したんでしょう。グランドセイコーのちょうど1年後に製造開始されました。
A mono conversion of the Liver Building image I took the other night. Much prefer this. I've also been fighting badly with it to get it to display properly online, and as soon as this goes on Twitter/Facebook the quality dies on it's arse. So frustrating. Looks good printed though, and that's all that matters to me with this one :)

spotted in Cornhill, London, on the side of the Royal Exchange. You may have noticed, I have a thing about clocks! This one has the same face on the other side. Note that the Roman numeral for IV is shown as IIII.

The second instalment in a monthly series, taken before the snow arrived. Early(ish) on a Sunday morning, so long shadows and not many people about.
The clock tower was built in 1720 and remained so until 1887-88 when it was remodelled to commemorate Queen Victoria's golden jubilee. £200 was to be raised by public voluntary subscription for the clock to be built, and the final amount came to £227, 7 shillings and 6 pence. The clock was lit by gas until the mid 1920s when electric took over. Quoted from The Way Marking website.

The Clock Tower of Cardiff Castle from Castle Street. Looking particularly fine since it's recent restoration during which it made the news when someone climbed the scaffolding to steal the clock hands!
Designed by the Gothic Revival architect William Burges.
Hi friends!
I have an important update to make: Over the next 3 weeks I'll be moving to a new apartment, which means I'll be busy packing and not taking dolly pictures ;___;
I'll try to keep up with flickr as best as I can (which hasn't been much lately). But I thought I'd leave you with a picture of Adler to keep you company while I'm busy :D
Now about the picture...
This antique clock belonged to my dad's grandfather who I never met. He was an immigrant from Germany and brought this clock with him. When he passed away, the clock died as well. I've never photographed it or really touched it until today. During the photoshoot it slipped off the pile of books Adler was sitting on and started ticking again! But when I picked the clock up it stopped ticking. Perhaps it was my great-grandfather saying "Hello"
~___^
Whatever the reason, I thought it would be fun to share with you ^^ Enjoy the picture!
