An ornamental clock in the Somerset town of Frome. The clock uses the letters of Frome and Selwood instead of numbers. Selwood was one a small village but has now become one of the suburbs of Frome.
Exmouth, Devon
Hope you enjoy and many thanks for everyone viewing, faves and commented on any of my images have a great day :)
Clock programmed using Processing. The 'planets' follow the hour, minute, and second hand, whilst the gradients change hue gradually each minute. The gradient is produced by changing the HSB values, with brightness highest for the outer ring and becoming darker by 10% for each ring towards the centre.
Vergesst nicht, die Uhren umzustellen!
Diese mehr als 150 Jahre alte Uhr hat ein Stundensignal. Deshalb kann man sie nicht zurückstellen. Ich muss sie entweder 11 Stunden vorstellen oder anhalten und später wieder starten.

The old Prague astronomical clock (or in Czech Pražský orloj) at the south side of the Old Town city hall next to the Old City Square. It was the third astronomical clock in the world to be made, back in 1410, and the oldest that is still working. It was made by the clockmaker Mikuláš of Kadaň and the astronomy and mathematical professor Jan Šindel. It has been been repaired many times since then though, and later additions have been made too. The moving figures (that draw the attention of all tourists) are from the 17th century, and the apostles as alte as 1865-1866.

"Surely one of the most iconic images of Morningside is the Station Clock which has stood at the foot of Morningside Road (off and on) since it was gifted to the city by Messers Inches, Inman and Torrance, the then councillors for the Morningside ward in 1910 – a time when it was possible to travel by train from Morningside to Waverly via Haymarket in precisely 13 minutes!
The structure itself is an example of east-west collaboration by leading craftsmen of the time – the ironwork pillar supplied by Walter MacFarlane & Co. of Glasgow and the clock mechanism by James Ritchie & Son of Edinburgh. The craftwork of these fine Scottish companies can still be seen all over the UK, Europe and even further afield in exotic locations such as Singapore and Brazil.
The clock has of course been a familiar landmark for generations of locals and travellers alike. The writer can remember when on long trips from Dumfriesshire to visit Edinburgh as a small boy in an Austin Cambridge – sight of the clock meant that we really were ‘almost there’. And then all of sudden – the clock wasn’t there anymore!
The clock disappeared in the late Sixties during modification of the road junction and, as Charles Smith noted in his Historic South Edinburgh volumes, after it failed to re-appear after some considerable time ‘many residents made enquiries in official quarters’ which pre-empted its return, complete with new electrics installed, to restore familiar perspective of the of the station area in 1968."

The World Clock on Alexanderplatz in Berlin is for me one of the most beautiful remains of the former GDR. It symbolizes how close the places on the world are. And if you take a long enough exposure, you get a feeling that it’s possible to travel a bit through time and space.

A view through time , in the foreground obviously is the Elizabeth Tower housing Big Ben ( a shot before all the scaffolding went up ) and beyond is Westminster Abbey which goes back in time even further .
Westminster Abbey is steeped in more than a thousand years of history. Benedictine monks first came to this site in the middle of the tenth century, establishing a tradition of daily worship which continues to this day.
The Abbey has been the coronation church since 1066 and is the final resting place of seventeen monarchs. The present church, begun by Henry III in 1245, is one of the most important Gothic buildings in the country, with the medieval shrine of an Anglo-Saxon saint still at its heart.
A treasure house of paintings, stained glass, pavements, textiles and other artefacts, Westminster Abbey is also the place where some of the most significant people in the nation's history are buried or commemorated. Taken as a whole the tombs and memorials comprise the most significant single collection of monumental sculpture anywhere in the United Kingdom.

Built in 1897 and Grade 1 listed since 1955, the faces were glazed in 1988 after the hands were repeatedly stolen and has the reputation as being the second most photographed clock in the UK after the Elizabeth Tower at Westminster
Medieval Marketplace
Welcome to the third project of my little medieval town - Medieval Marketplace!
In my marketplace you can see a tall tower with an astronomical clock on one side (a copy of the Old Town Hall Tower) and ordinary clocks on the other.
On the same square, life is in full swing! Here you will see a butcher chopping a piece of meat for the next customer - an old astronomer in a luxurious hat, and a fish merchant. A prosperous merchant with all kinds of trinkets, living in a house near the tower and unloading all sorts of supplies from the cart. A baker just baked another pretzel in his bakery. Well and of course the guards keeping order. :)
The project also includes 10 minifigures:
a jester fireman,
two guards,
a merchant of some supplies,
a fish merchant,
a baker,
a butcher,
two peasants,
a horse
The second floor of the houses and the roofs are easily removed. The whole model is fully playable. The tower is empty inside.
I was inspired to create this project by my trip to Prague last summer. Initially, I planned to create a project only for the Astronomical Clock (Old Town Hall Tower), but having built the tower, I decided to slightly change it and add a market square to it - in the end it’s a fantasy! :)
Also, when building this project, I was inspired by such clock towers as The Zytglogge and Ledbury Clock Tower, and a set of lego castle 10193 medieval marketplace.
I hope you enjoyed

The clock was erected in 1899 to commemorate the Diamond Jubilee of Queen Victoria two years earlier. It was designed by Chester architect, John Douglas and since 1955 it has been a Grade I listed building.
It is usually viewed from below at street level but this view is from the Roman walls of the City where it was erected.
It is reputed to be the second most photographed clock in the UK after Big Ben.
An old circular clock with Roman numerals marked the time in the lobby of The Caledonian Hotel. Late in the afternoon, chandelier crystals reflected onto the clock face, distorting the view but not obscuring it entirely. The subtle tension between precise timekeeping and reflective beauty caught my attention, a sight which I found alluring.

Dolmabahçe Clock Tower (Turkish: Dolmabahçe Saat Kulesi) is a clock tower situated outside Dolmabahçe Palace in Istanbul, Turkey. The tower was ordered by Ottoman sultan Abdülhamid II (1842–1918) and designed by the court architect Sarkis Balyan between 1890 and 1895.
The clock tower was added to Dolmabahçe Palace, and stands in front of its Treasury Gate on a square along the European waterfront of Bosphorus next to Dolmabahçe Mosque. Designed in Ottoman neo-baroque style, the four-sided, four-story tower stands on a floor area of 8.5 × 8.5 m (28 × 28 ft) at a height of 27 m (89 ft). Its clock was manufactured by the renowned French clockmaker house of Jean-Paul Garnier, and installed by the court clock master Johann Mayer. In 1979, the original mechanical clock was converted partly to an electrical one. On two opposite sides of the tower, the tughra of Sultan Abdul Hamid II is put on
