An old time clock complete with time cards in an old abandoned manufacturing plant. How many of you can remember punching a card before and after shift? I can, back in the '70s. There were no computers or smartphones back then.
A southbound Jubilee line train accelerates away from St John's Wood passing the station clock. A similar timepiece is on the northbound platform.
20/365 This is a really old clock my Dad found thrown out in a shed. Now it hangs proudly in our kitchen. Like most things in our house it doesnt work.
Christian Ackermann
Last quarter of the seventeenth century.
Church of the Holy Spirit
Tallinn, Estonia
Christian Ackermann was born in Königsberg. He worked in Riga, Stockholm, and Gdańsk, before becoming active in Tallinn from about 1672 until his death in 1710. In 1675, Ackermann moved to Tallinn and acquired his own workshop. He probably died either in 1710 or a short time later from plague.
Christian Ackermann was one of the greatest masters of the Baroque style in Estonia. He brought strong Central European influences to Northeast Europe, in particular the motifs of the Baroque and masterful Acanthus ornaments.

The McKee Clock in Bangor, County Down. It was built in 1915 and is named for the local person who donated a large sum towards its construction.
The clock, which projects over the High Street from the Guildhall, and which has regularly appeared on television, proudly displays its original date of 1683.
The case is made of English oak, has a cast iron internal frame and copper dials. Conservation work included stripping off all the accumulated layers ofpaint, re-finishing and re-gilding with 231⁄2 carat Englishgold leaf. Additional repairs were made to parts of the mechanical clock movement which is a traditional two train type with recoil anchor escapement and had been cared for by Smith of Derby for many years.
Daedalus Conservation also worked on this project and their woodworking craftsmen cut out and replaced parts of the timber casing which were causing concern. Smith of Derby clockmakers removed rust from all theironwork, applied anti-corrosion primer and re-finishedthe whole case in high quality exterior gloss paint. All this work was completed on-site.
A gift!
To compliment the new [RnR] Modular Ballet Barre set and the [RnR] Rehearsal Post (choreographed dancer for up to 6 ballerinas), you can find this clock as a gift at the 9th anniversary round of The Liaison Collaborative - just look for the little gift box in the RnR booth.

365 day clock on mantelpiece in front of mirror. This is a blend of two photos, the in-focus clock and an out of focus image. Processed in LAB colour space with Affinity photo, the two shots are blended using Affinity luminosity blend. With no further adjustment, the luminosity blend eliminated the blown out specular highlights in the in-focus image. A curves layer was then added to adjust the colours and contrast. I should add that the RAW (ORF) files were converted to DNG using DxO Pure RAW; this highlighted the blown-out regions in pink - red.
The clock is interesting. I picked it up years ago in a second-hand shop in Dunedin (NZ). Turns out that it is twin to a clock held in the Otago Early Settlers Museum, dating from the time of the first european arrivals, and bearing an inscription dedicating it to the captain of the vessel that carried them, presumably a gift from grateful passengers to the captain, expressing their thanks for a safe journey. Our clock bears no inscription.
Prague's astronomical clock is the third oldest astronomical clock in the world and the only one still working. Decorating the facade of the Old Town Hall in Prague's Old Town Square, the clock dates back to 1410. The top portion of the clock tells time as well as the position of the sun and moon. The bottom portion was added 80 years after the original clock and serves as a calendar. There are also several figures decorating the clock; a skeleton representing Death strikes the time each hour - eerily my favorite part of the clock~!

SPRING O'CLOCK...

Dandelions are once again sprouting up all over, prompting the city, lawn-care specialists and amateur gardeners alike to again declare war on the broad leaf weed.
A dandelion is really many tiny flowers bunched together.
Each little flower becomes a seed...
We don't like them in our gardens.
AND YET: The dandelion plant is a beneficial weed, with a wide range of uses, and is even a good companion plant for gardening.
Its taproot will bring up nutrients for shallower-rooting plants, and add minerals and nitrogen to soil.
It is also known to attract pollinating insects and release ethylene gas which helps fruit to ripen.
Taraxacum seeds are an important food source for certain birds.
Great in a salad etc...
Enjoy and make the BEST of every day! Thank you, M, (*_*)

The Clock Tower (sometimes called the Jubilee Clock Tower) is a free-standing clock tower in the centre of Brighton, part of the English city of Brighton and Hove. Built in 1888 in commemoration of Queen Victoria's Golden Jubilee, the distinctive structure included innovative structural features and became a landmark in the popular and fashionable seaside resort
Further up the hill beyond the Clock Tower is Brighton railway station and behind me, down the hill, is the seafront.
An old clock tower sits nestled amongst layers of Autumn colours.
Note to self: remember when changing lenses on a D3100 that it remembers the exposure settings used the last time the lens was used :(
The clock on the corner of Rua de Passos Manuel and Rua da Santa Catarina in Porto honours four people deeply connected to the history and identity of Porto: São João, Infante D. Henrique, Almeida Garrett and Camilo Castelo Branco. None of them need introduction, but it is still fair to point out that they include the Saint cherished and annually celebrated by the people of Porto, the crucial figure for the period of the Discoveries, and two eminent names in Portuguese literature and closely linked to Porto.

The original plans called for the clockworks to be connected to five bells that would chime every hour, but the carillon was never built. The clock was constructed in Croydon, England by the firm of Gillett & Johnston, and its mechanism is similar to the one that drives Big Ben at the Palace of Westminster.
The Clock Tower of Cardiff's City Hall is perhaps the most distinctive architectural feature of the building, bold and asymmetrical and a well-loved Cardiff landmark. It's also been home to a pair of peregrine falcons for the last few years.

The clock frame, which contains the mechanism, is 5’10” in length and made of one solid piece of cast iron, ensuring perfect rigidity. The escapement is a three-legged ‘gravity’ design, and made of gun-metal. The time is shown on four twelve foot wide gilded dials, one on each face of the tower.
