Stained glass mosaic clock on a recycled glass piece that was part of a light fixture in its previous life.
Glass is shaded from pale bright green to black and, to compliment this, a special grouting technique was used that also shades from pale green to deep green/black. See my blog post for more information and pictures of this clock being grouted: mosaicsmith.blogspot.com/2012/01/more-shading-grout-in-mo...

The top angle of the same flower I showed previously.
I don't have a good shot of the fully-opened flower yet, but you can see it here (drora's photostream):

The flowers of this very interesting plant, Capparis spinosa, are starting to open in the afternoon (shown here). Only half an hour before dusk they are fully opened and are visited by bees. In the night, their white color and pleasant smell attracts Hawk moths. The flowers last only till the next afternoon, and after 24 hours, they wither.
The stems of Capparis spinosa are covered with curved thorns, bent inwards. It’s easy to put your hand inside, but make yourself a stock of plasters ready if you wish to pull it out…
The unopened buds are very good as pickles! I did it myself, they are very good :-)

The Historical Clock Tower is located at the heart of Canakkale.
The five-storey Ottoman saat kulesi (clock tower) near the harbour was built in 1897. It was paid for by an Italian consul and Çanakkale merchant who left 100,000 gold francs in his will for this purpose.
There is a clock on each of the four sides of the tower, which was built from local Ayvalık stone. The public fountain beneath was built in 1889 by a wealthy Jewish resident of the town called Halyo. The Clock tower is bow one of the symbols of Canakkale [Adapted from anzachotel.com and Lonely Planet]
