With the risk of enraging the community I am applying this photo to the collection. I must hereby swear that this photo was taken by me although not with my own camera!
Due to the pressing deadline I prefer to submit this photo titled "University clock" and subtitled "Pretty blond in B&W"!
I must also add that all the postprocessing work (far from perfect) has been done in Aperture!

i've been staying up too late for my own good. xD that's why this is pratically a midnight posting.

this is an alarm clock that was in the room we (my sisters and i) were sleeping in. i added the black and white and made it dark. :D enjoy.
Picture of my iPhone taken with my Touch at the exact 2 seconds (am and pm) when time was 11:11:11 and date was 11-11-11. Will have to wait 100 years to do this next again.
This gigantic clock, at the heart and peak of the old asylum, somehow lends an appropriate gravitas to the structure. With four large dials, each crested by a gracefully sculpted "bishop's hat" arch, it is is a fine sight to behold through a long lens.
To see some excellent historical views taken from atop this tower during the hospital's later operational days in the 1990s, click here. Fellow Leeds-based urban exporer Phill.d also posted some great images from inside the tower back in 2007: click here to have a look at what lies within.
My wife's grandfather was given this clock as a leaving present, after working for 45 years for British Rail.
Today the Hereios of the We're Here! group are getting into black and white details.
200 day clock, German-made Haller. This is an unusual torsion clock which is designed to run for only 200 days instead of the usual 400 days. There is an unique slip-mechanism for winding up the main spring which prevent overwinding (just like a mechanical watch) not commonly found in most design. Gold colour finish throughout and a standard 400 day clock flora face. The 4 support columns (usually there are 2) is another unique feature of this clock. This is a modern '400 day' clock made in the late 90’s. This must be one of the very last mechanical torsion clock ever produced by Haller or for that matter, any mfg in the world. About 12 “ tall under glass dome cover. I bought it brand new in 2002

Only Time will tell and every clock tells a story....
The problem with clock is, once you got two they start to multiply..

It was a non-working clock which I wanted to hang up for display. After a while, I felt something amiss. A clock is not a clock if it does'nt work! So I took it apart and do some fixing, to my surprise I managed to get it ticking again ! I was totally fascinated From there I got my second, third and so on....
My favourite has to be the 400 day clock
Amazing time piece and fun to repair Next in line is those of the electromechanical design type
I love the working principles
At the time of writing, my collection is still growing....but has grind to a halt as my interest is now focus on nature photography

This small station operates as a turnout for the trains of the Pre-Alps Express. The beautiful clock that I saw a couple of times from the train was the reason to take a closer look at this station on occasion. Thereby I discovered the amazing ticket system Handomat. Only the trains of the Southeastern-Railways (SOB) stops here on request. Altmatt SZ, Switzerland, July 26, 2010.
Ornate antique clock in the Embassy of Poland (1910, George Oakley Totten Jr.), at 2640 16th Street NW, in Washington, DC. According to photos I've seen, this clock has been in the embassy for decades.
The original clock-face from the the clock-tower of the Holyrood brewery, Edinburgh.
Now living in the fire-exit of the PizzaExpress, Holyrood building.
this large clock with it's numbers scattered around its face is in one of the side entrances to the L'Illa building in Barcelona. It was designed by Javier Mariscal in 1994 for the Swiss company Winterthur.
I particularly like the way the number 6 blocks the entrance stairway!

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 :))
