I took this shot specifically for the 888 group, to commemorate the special date:
August 8, 2008.
As you can see, this a long exposure of 8 seconds (evident by the number of 'second' hands)

Went to Wookey Hole this weekend I was hoping to get some shots inside the caves but sadly no flash was allowed due to it having rare bats. I could slap myself as I was toying with taking my monopod but I changed my mind last minute I did try to improvise with the caves surroundings but sadly nothing was worth keeping so this weeks submission is this vintage clocking in machine that was on show at Wookey Hole.

It's pretty wacky to see a clock tower in the middle of a street like this, isn't it? Absolutely no one is out on the street... I have no idea what town this was taken in. Do we see rail and electric line for a tram with state capitol in the background...? Circa 1920s.
The American Trust Company constructed this bank at 101 Petaluma Boulevard North, in Petaluma, in 1926.
Today it houses a *very* large antique mall called Vintage Bank Antiques.
This is the clock mounted above the secured area in front of the vault entrance. Even the vault is full of antiques for sale.

National Debt Clock, New York City
"Our national debt:
6.388.615.296.055
YOUR family share: 69.744 "
Taken on January 28, 2003.
The National Debt Clock was created by a New York real estate developer in 1989. The goal of Seymour Durst was to create awareness of the debt’s size and the speed with which it was growing. The clock was stopped in September of 2000 as government debt levels decreased because of budget surpluses. The national debt was 5,676,989,904,887. (73,733 / family.)
The clock was reactivated in 2002.

This is the same model clock many small towns have, but I liked being able to get a picture with nothing in the background except sky.

The Victoria Tower, Salisbury Dock, by Jesse Hartley, is dated 1848.
It is constructed of irregular shaped granite blocks and takes the
form of an octagon with a high tapered circular base which is pierced
by round arched openings. Above the base is a string moulding and
narrow slits at the first floor below a continuous balcony carried on
stone brackets. Higher again are eight circular clock faces and long
open slits and round eyes at the top. The tower is crowned by a
projecting castellated parapet carried on corbels.
This spectacular piece of showmanship was primarily a handsome clock
and bell tower, not only giving time to neighbouring docks and arriving
and departing ships, but also ringing out high tide and warning notes.
Local folklore is that it was built by French prisoners from the Napoleonic
Wars, but as the wars had ended 29 years before the tower was designed,
this seems unlikely ...

This clock was built from plans designed by Clayton Boyer. The clock uses an epicyclic (planetary) gear system and is powered by a constant force "negator" spring rather than a weight and pulley system. The frame is made of Brazilian cherry and the gears (wheels) are made of aircraft quality Finnish birch.

A 1903 view of the Clock Tower in the centre of leicester, surrounded by new tram tracks being laid. The complex nature of the trackwork, supplied by Hadfields of Sheffield, is clearly evident. The narrow street ahead is Churchgate and one familiar name, Freeman Hardy and Willis, synonymous with boots and shoes, occupies the imposing building behind the Clock Tower..— at (National Tramway Museum).
Made this clock from scrap pieces laying around the shop, good to clean out some of the bins of wood scraps that I accumulate.
This lovely old clock has been in my family for many years, given to me by the dear Mum a few years ago, she was given it by her Mum ,my Nan, who said something about it coming from Holland, that is all I know about it. If anybody knows more about this type of clock I would welcome any information on it.
