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".
Bought in the Alps during my ski holiday - isn't it gorgeous? It goes "bong....cuckoo" every half hour, and chimes the hours too. Luckily you can turn off the cuckoo though (^_-)-* You need to pull on the weights every day to keep it wound up.... I love it! (^ ^)

I made a clock! I designed the thing in Illustrator and sent it off to Ponoko for laser cutting. Got it back, put it together, and voila, a clock!
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.
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,...
I've always liked this clock, outside the main entrance of the Britannia Hotel on St James Street, Nottingham. I'm not sure why it has the comedy and tragedy masks; maybe it once belonged to a theatre?
The clock was designed and built in Waltham, Massachusetts and it's been kept running for over a hundred years.
