The Town Clock is down the hill from the Halifax Citadel, and is one of the symbols of the city. For a long time, a family lived there and had responsibility for maintaining the clock. It still uses its original mechanism, but it was off by several minutes when I was there.
New approach to the S2 clock project in evidence here.
So far the brief/analysis/specification pages are produced in much the same way as ever. The radical shift is in the generation of ideas approach. Here we borrowed an idea outlined in Kurt Rowland's 1968 book "The Shapes We Need". Amongst other things Rowland explores spatial relationships and really gets to the heart of aesthetics and visual beauty. Some things just look right and others don't. Why is this? Rowland seems to have a some good theories about this. This book was part of a series he released in the late 60's. I understand these textbooks were standard issue in Glasgow Secondary Schools Art Departments at the time. I don't know of any art teachers that used them much apart from my mother. Anyway this little card based exercise suited our purposes perfectly.
The current S2 course has seeen alot of changes over the last five years. We'll distribute the cours notes on the S2 Course page at: designandtechnologydepartment.co.uk in due course.
The Colgate Clock, located at a Colgate-Palmolive factory in Clarksville, Indiana, is one of the largest clocks in the world. It has a diameter of 40 feet (12.19 meter). It was first illuminated in Clarksville on November 17, 1924. It is located directly across the Ohio River from Louisville, Kentucky.
it served as the Indiana Reformatory South. It opened in 1847, replacing the state prison which had opened in Jeffersonville in 1821. The state sold the building to Colgate in 1923.
Time has been hard on this clock. Once precision, now a pigeon rest. I am thinking this is from the mid 1800s. The clock face is about 4 feet on the other side of the wall.
Innocència, puresa i simplicitat són les característiques típiques d’un nen. Peter Pan n’és un. Un nen que vol permenèixer eternement a “Neverland”, allunyat de qualsevol deure, de tota figura que pugui tenir control sobre ell, i on, òbviament, mai creixerà, madurarà, ni haurà de recordar cap compromís que pugui tenir. És per això que oblida amb molta facilitat el que fa i a la gent que l’envolta. Aquesta és la seva glòria i, potser també, la seva tristesa.
Aquest projecte, ens mostra doncs, des d’una mirada melancòlica, com es troben actualment els diferents indrets que van ésser protagonistes d’un viatge màgic temps enrere, on les obligacions, les responsabilitats i la realitat no hi tenien cabuda. Ara n’és un record i en conservem les aventures, els somnis, el volar, les olors, la imaginació,...
Uhr an einer alten Hausfassade (von 1602) in Trier /
Clock on a old face of a building (from 1602) in Trier
Часы из комплекта с журналом за 149р.. Как ни странно в корпус из металла, а сами часы даже ходят. В отличии от оригинала, механизм кварцевый.
I just bought a brand new Nikon D7100 on Friday, March 15th. Took these test shots to see how it compared to my D7000. So far, I am really loving this camera...
The clock over the central entrance to the Wiesbaden, Germany Hauptbahnhopf. Taken by a Nikon D610 at ISO 400 with a Nikkor 50mm ƒ 1.4 AF-D lens. Exposure is 1/80 sec @ 4.5, the upper limit of what I consider "low light".
While the clock is covered by a netting to keep pigeons away, it and the accompanying statuary needs a dusting, so I consider it "Neglected".

In the Hermitage you will have a unique chance to watch the famous Peacock Clock in action. Peacock Clock was made in London by a famous mechanic and jeweler James Cocks and presented to Catherine the Great. The Peacock is an intricate structure. The central figure, a big peacock is perched on a high oak stump with two luxuriant branches. Suspended on one of the branches on a silver cord is a cage surrounded by little bells. Inside the cage there is an owl in dark silver. Next to it on a tree stump stands a very picturesque life-size rooster. Among other inmates of the glass cage are snails, lizards, and a grasshopper together with mushrooms, acorns, and leaves. The dial is built into the cap of the biggest mushroom. When the clock strikes, all the figures come into motion. The owl is the first to come to life. It turns its head and rolls its eyes. Meanwhile the bell cage revolves producing melodious sounds. Then the bells stop ringing and the peacock spreads out its marvelous tail, It turns round and round slowly demonstrating its rich plumage and bowing gracefully. The rooster stretches its neck and comes up with its cock-a-doodle-doo. The roman figures indicate the hours while the Arab ones indicate the seconds.
This sharp looking Philips clock radio is from 1959. It's a hefty coat pocket set which is about 10 inches wide with a nice brushed metal fascade.....still works well too.
I wish Philips had thought of more memorable model numbers. The model number on this one is L2X97T/52R. I'd have abbreviated it to L2-X9.
