Graham's 52 Challenge, Week 3 "Black and White"
As you can see, I've not desaturated!
Taken with my newly bought Lensbaby fisheye on the Olympus EM10.
Stupidly I bought a 4/3rds Olympus lens on eBay, but the EM10 is a micro 4/3rds, so had to buy a adaptor. Anyways, still cheaper than buying a new Lensbaby, not that they seem to make a micro 4/3rds one, yet! Thanks Darren for telling me which adaptor I needed, coz I would have got that wrong as well......I'm not safe on eBay :))
Hoher Markt, Vienna. Designed by Franz Matsch for Anker Insurance Co and built 1911-17 and originally intended to commemorate an Austrian Victory in the Great War. Rulers of Austria move through the windows either side as time passes.
I think it dates from the 1920's. Or maybe it is even older.
Despertador antic. Crec que data del 1920. O potser encara és més vell.
A trip up to near the Canadian border to collect some trees for our garden lead me to Fairhaven on my way back for lunch. A nice little touristy place south of Bellingham. It had a clock....

I'm making Steampunk-style paper horses using the templates by Artist Ann Wood for the Fourth Annual Paper Cowgirl Art Retreat coming up in Waxahachie, TX, June 9-11, 2011.
I made this antique, vintage-style clock face by scanning a finding, then darkening the edges in Photoshop.
Feel free to use this in all your own work--I copied it several times and made a template so I could make "clockworks" for my paper ponies' legs.
Just don't redistribute the original as your own work! T4L-agree.
Unusual for me to pick up a transistor set (this one has 7 in case you're counting), but I liked the symmetry of this one.
Mid '60s with "Color Band Tuning" so either the FM (green letters) or AM (red letters) band is illuminated when selected.
Wood cabinet rotates on a swivel base too!
Vion A80 Marine Clock with four Silence Zones. The silence zones indicate that for 3 minutes after the hour, the half hour and each quarter, radio silence should be maintained in order that any distress calls can clearly be heard by the emergency services.

The Great Clock was installed on Marshall Field’s State Street Store on November 26, 1897. Marshall Field envisioned his great clock as a beacon that could be seen for miles and attract crowds to his store which he saw as a meeting place.
The working clock is the oldest in the world. It is made with thousands of varieties of flowers and is re-created each year designed to commemorate special occasions. This year it celebrates the centenary of Edinburgh Zoo.
It was invented by John McHattie of Edinburgh Parks and was first planted up in the spring of 1903 in West Princes Street Gardens. In that year it had only an hour hand but a minute hand was added the following year. It was soon imitated across the United Kingdom and later throughout the world. Here the clock mechanism is set inside the plinth of the statue to Allan Ramsay adjacent. There is also a cuckoo which calls each hour.
Inspired by the cyclops watch from Mr Jones Watches (http://mrjoneswatches.com/html/cyclops.html) I set out to create my own prototype.
Using a cheap IKEA clock, I printed a new face and taped it over the old one.
The colours were chosen using the In Rainbows equation to convert a string to an md5 hash, then take the first 6 hex digits. Those are the values for "01:00", "01:30", ..., "12:00", "12:30". I don't think I would personally choose those values, but I went with them anyway to see how they look.
I like the idea of waking-up at about royal blue o'clock.
I built this working cuckoo clock out of Lego bricks. It's using a quartz movement that I modified to work with the lego bricks.
The clock was designed in Bricksmith and I bought most of the parts through Bricklink.
A video of the clock in action is available at Youtube: www.youtube.com/watch?v=9v3BFXiamNA
The Clock Tower of City Hall is perhaps the most distinctive architectural feature of the building, bold and asymmetrical and a well-loved Cardiff landmark. The Clock itself is a four face skeleton design, and first rang out on St David’s Day, 1905.
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.
The bells themselves are cast from pure copper and tin, and each one is engraved with a motto. The hour bell, as well as the second and fourth quarter bells, have mottoes in Welsh. The first and third bells are inscribed in English. The bell strikes upon the hour and the Westminster quarter chimes sound upon the four quarter bells.
The mottoes chosen are:
Hour bell: ‘Y gwir yn erbyn y byd’ (His truth against the world)
1st Quarter - ‘I mark time, dost thou?’
2nd Quarter - ‘Duw a phob daioni’ (God is all goodness)
3rd Quarter - ‘Time conquers all and we must time obey’
4th Quarter - ‘A gair Duw yn uchaf’ (God’s voice on high)
