You can't beat a good public clock. The clock tower outside Altrincham Station dates from 1880 and is listed Grade II. The station was opened on 3 April 1881 as Altrincham & Bowdon by the Manchester, South Junction and Altrincham Railway.

The Prague astronomical clock, or Prague orloj (Czech: Pražský orloj), is a medieval astronomical clock located in Prague, the capital of the Czech Republic. The clock was first installed in 1410, making it the third-oldest astronomical clock in the world and the oldest one still working.
It is mounted on the southern wall of Old Town City Hall in the Old Town Square.
The clock mechanism itself is composed of three main components: the astronomical dial, representing the position of the Sun and Moon in the sky and displaying various astronomical details; "The Walk of the Apostles", a clockwork hourly show of figures of the Apostles and other moving sculptures—notably a figure of Death (represented by a skeleton) striking the time; and a calendar dial with medallions representing the months.
According to local legend, the city will suffer if the clock is neglected and its good operation is placed in jeopardy and a skeleton, mounted on the clock, was supposed to nod his head in confirmation. Based on the legend, the only hope was represented by a boy born in the New Year´s night.
I think the wide angle (and the S90's barrel distortion, which I don't think iPhoto's RAW convertor is dealing with) makes this look a bit weird. Maybe it's just the circular tiling patterns, though.
This old clock resides at Balmoral School in Calgary. Although wikipedia (unfortunately edited by some that don't look lol) says 1915, the imprint year on the building shows 1913. I can see that this has stood the test of time quite well from that year....such a gorgeous building. I'd love to go inside of it one day.
Going through the archives I came across this one tonight and didn't realize I captured the moon right above the clock...nice capture even if I do say so myself.
My papa's grandfather clock, which he inherited from his father. His family immigrated from England, and this clock, which was built in Brighton, is a family heirloom. The clock has a very interesting history, which speaks to the history of my papa's family.
This is a photo from a happy customer, showing how well this can work in the home. We also have other styles not shown in this or the below picture.

This was a Christmas gift from my sister last year. I love the pattern, it reminds me of a Celtic design!
