Architectural detail of the clock atop the 307-foot-tall Main Building at the University of Texas at Austin. Along the bottom of the image, one can see bullet holes from police officers returning the fire of mass murderer Charles Whitman during his 1966 massacre that left 16 people dead and a further 32 injured.
When I was a little girl I used to love 'telling the time' with Dandelion clocks ... ah- happy days!

This was a very thoughtful gift for Christmas from one of my coworkers ... sitting at my desk now reminding me that it is always time to be out taking photographs :)))
Suki watching and listening to our Grandfather Clock whirring and striking the hour.
My subjects these days are limited, just parts of the garden and my animals.
Anyway, Suki, my cat and my friend sticks with me wherever I am and this mono portrait is a fair reflection of her face and character
The clock tower is the official symbol of Izmir...it was built in 1901.
Thank you for your visit, kind comments and fave. Always greatly appreciated.*_^
There is a broken clock on a tree in the woods near where we live. I've been photographing it every couple of years. It's a timeless beauty.
The most precious thing you can get from someone you love is their time.
It's not the words, it's not the flowers, it's not the gifts. It is the time.
Because that doesn't come back and what he gave to you is yours alone, no matter if it was an hour or a lifetime.

One of my favourite poems.
Time Is ... by Henry Van Dyke.
Time is
Too slow for those who wait,
Too swift for those who fear.
Too long for those who grieve,
Too Short for those who rejoice,
but for those who love,
Time is Eternity.
Ein Ausflug nach Wien
Alle, die keinen Urlaub machen können, mögen mich auf einer Runde durch Wien begleiten. Vorbei an den berühmten Sehenswürdigkeiten, aber vielleicht auch abseits Sehenswertes entdecken ...
... am Hohen Markt beim Haus der Helvetia Versicherung (vormals "Der Anker", daher der Name) in der Wiener Innenstadt. Die Ankeruhr ist eine brückenartige Verbindung von 10 Metern Länge zwischen zwei Gebäuden. Diese Spieluhr im Jugendstil ist eine Touristenattraktion. Sie wurde 1914 erstmals in Betrieb genommen. Jede Stunde wandern historische Persönlichkeiten vorbei und zur vollen Stunde ertönt ein Stundenschlag. Um 12 Uhr ziehen alle Figuren vorbei, jeweils begleitet von einem passenden Musikstück, früher aus Orgelpfeifen, heute als digitale Tonwiedergabe.
Auf meinem Fotos sieht man Kaiserin Maria Theresia und Franz Stephan von Lothringen.
Links unten in der Collage sieht man eine Tafel, auf der alle Persönlichkeiten und ihre Stunde aufgelistet werden.
Rechts unten sieht man die Unterseite der Uhr, mit Sphinxen und astrologischen Darstellungen. Die Brücke wird von vier Figuren gestützt - auf meinem Bild ist die Figur des Teufels abgebildet.
Wer sich das Spektakel um 12 Uhr Mittag kurz ansehen und -hören möchte: www.youtube.com/watch?v=GeNdvhfD-0U
A trip to Vienna
All those who cannot take a holiday may follow me on a tour through Vienna. Past the famous sights, but perhaps you will also discover sights worth seeing off the beaten track …
... at the Hoher Markt by the building of Helvetia Insurance building (formerly "Der Anker" - "The Anchor", hence the name) in Vienna's city centre. The Anker (anchor) clock is a bridge-like connection of 10 metres between two buildings. This Art Nouveau-style music clock is a tourist attraction. It was first put into operation in 1914. Every hour historical figures pass by and at the exact hour a chime sounds. At 12 o'clock, all the figures pass by, each accompanied by a suitable piece of music, formerly from organ pipes, today as digital sound reproduction.
In my photos you can see Empress Maria Theresa and Franz Stephan of Lorraine.
At the bottom left of the collage you can see a panel listing all the personalities and their hour.
At the bottom right you can see the underside of the clock, with sphinxes and astrological representations. The bridge is supported by four figures - in my picture the figure of the devil is shown. Anyone who would like to have a quick look and listen to the spectacle at 12 noon:
I didn't get a beautiful sunrise but what a great model. I didn't get her name but whoever you are, thanks.
