Most clocks and watches with radium paint no longer glow visibly because decades of radiation damage the zinc sulfide crystals in the paint, reducing the light output. However, I discovered that this radium clock I got from a friend still has a detectable glow. When you look at it closely with dark adapted eyes you can still see a very faint glow. The glow is also "noisy", you can see the separate flashes as alpha particles strike the zinc sulfite in the paint.
I made this picture with a long exposure time, under a blanket, to capture the faint light which is easily overwhelmed by weak light sources.
I found myself collecting nice quality clocks after three were gifted to me. This one was gifted to me by my folks who acquired it in Arizona. I want to say this looks like it was made circa late 1970s. There is exquisite artwork on it. The focus point in the photo is on the face which is not the greatest part of the clock. I say this because the artwork is the focal point of this clock when viewing it in person. The book titles are slightly out-of-focus. They are:
"The Pony Express"
"Journey to the West"
"The Hands of Time"
The clock box maker / artist, did not sign, or put his/her/their mark, on the clock box. The clock works are a cheap battery powered works (which I had to replace as the pendulum stopped swinging). The clock box, and artwork, are outstanding, and I would like to know more about it.
If someone would know who the clock box maker / artist, is/are, please advise.
"Home-time" came the rude reply!
A broken (and edited) clock found at my friends house. I took a shine to it...
When I saw this cuckoo clock charm I wanted to make a necklace from it straight away. It’s part of a simply sweet collection, pieces that are very wearable but still hold a unique edge. This necklace is quirky and cute at the same time.
The charm measures 25 x 10mm and it is hung on an 18 inch silver plated chain with carab clasp closure.
Length can be altered upon request.
I package your jewellery in recycled kraft boxes, tied with ribbon and put inside a beautiful floral drawstring bag.

Medieval Marketplace
Welcome to the third project of my little medieval town - Medieval Marketplace!
In my marketplace you can see a tall tower with an astronomical clock on one side (a copy of the Old Town Hall Tower) and ordinary clocks on the other.
On the same square, life is in full swing! Here you will see a butcher chopping a piece of meat for the next customer - an old astronomer in a luxurious hat, and a fish merchant. A prosperous merchant with all kinds of trinkets, living in a house near the tower and unloading all sorts of supplies from the cart. A baker just baked another pretzel in his bakery. Well and of course the guards keeping order. :)
The project also includes 10 minifigures:
a jester fireman,
two guards,
a merchant of some supplies,
a fish merchant,
a baker,
a butcher,
two peasants,
a horse
The second floor of the houses and the roofs are easily removed. The whole model is fully playable. The tower is empty inside.
I was inspired to create this project by my trip to Prague last summer. Initially, I planned to create a project only for the Astronomical Clock (Old Town Hall Tower), but having built the tower, I decided to slightly change it and add a market square to it - in the end it’s a fantasy! :)
Also, when building this project, I was inspired by such clock towers as The Zytglogge and Ledbury Clock Tower, and a set of lego castle 10193 medieval marketplace.
I hope you enjoyed

Cottagey clock made from recyled packing foam and paper clay. This guy measures about 11 inches tall total. Time for fun!!!
Common name: Bengal Clock Vine, Bengal Trumpet Vine, Blue Sky Flower, Blue Sky Vine, Blue Trumpet Vine, Nil lata नील लता (Hindi), Tumakhlung (Gujarati), Nil lota (Bengali)
Botanical name: Thunbergia grandiflora
- [ (thun-BER-jee-uh) named after Carl Peter Thunberg, 19th century Swedish botanist; (gran-dih-FLOR-uh) with large flowers ]
Family: Acanthaceae (acanthus or ruellia family)
- [ (ah-kanth-AY-see-ay) from the Greek Ãikantha, meaning thorn, spine, or spike ]
Origin: India
The Blue Skyflower has been called by some "the most beautiful vine in the world". From a distance, this twining, flowering vine looks like a morning glory and even up close the flowers are quite similar. It is a vigorous evergreen vine that comes from northern India.
From the rope-like stems, that can reach to the top of large structure or even cover a good sized tree, emerge the dark green leaves that are leathery and have a distinctive elongated heart shape, 4-5 inches long and often have a slightly toothed margin. The beautiful 3 inch wide pale blue flowers are cup-like with pale yellow to cream blue striped centers.
This plant can be in bloom at nearly any time of year but will sulk during cold months. Plant in full sun or in a shaded location (this vine will find the sun!) The rampant growth of this vine can be somewhat controlled by giving or withholding irrigation - once established it needs only be watered occasionally.

Clocks by Coldplay. A Kaleidoscope of Neon.
I was asked by the President of Malta, George Abela to work on this project to raise money for the Malta Community Chest Fund. Musical Director, Sigmund Mifsud had already chosen and orchestrated a series of rock classics pieces to be played by the Malta Philharmonic Orchestra. The Rockestra show took place on the 12th September at the MFCC. Ticket sales were expected to be around 3,000 but I am very pleased to say that they sold out at 12,000. This is the largest indoor event ever held in Malta.
The evening included pieces by Coldplay, Pink Floyd, Deep Purple, Led Zeppelin, Bob Marley, The Eagles and John Miles, so had a strong 70’s leaning and I wanted to reflect that in the imagery.
The local artists were The Riffs, Jotham Saliba, Claire Caruana, Alex Bezzina, Raquela, Neville Refalo, Daniel Cauchi, Ruben Zahra, Paul Borg Bonaci and DJ Owen.

I found this new in its package. My step dad converted it from electric to battery operated so it doesn't have any pesky cord.
The Corpus Clock is a large sculptural clock at street level on the outside of the Taylor Library at Corpus Christi College, Cambridge. Unveiled in 2008 it was one of Time's Best Inventions of the year.
The time is displayed by means of blue LED's lighting slits in the gold disc.
However, the most striking feature is the insect on top of the disc. Akin to a grasshopper or locust it is known as the Chronophage i.e. Time-eater. It moves its mouth, appearing to "eat up" the seconds as they pass, and occasionally it "blinks" in seeming satisfaction. The hour is tolled by the sound of a chain clanking into a small wooden coffin hidden in the back of the clock.
The clock is entirely accurate only once every five minutes. The rest of the time, the pendulum may seem to catch or stop, and the lights may lag or, then, race to get ahead. According to John Taylor, this erratic motion reflects life's "irregularity".
Conceived as a work of public art, the Chronophage reminds viewers in a dramatic way of the inevitable passing of time. John Taylor deliberately designed it to be "terrifying": "Basically I view time as not on your side. He'll eat up every minute of your life, and as soon as one has gone he's salivating for the next." Others have described it as "hypnotically beautiful and deeply disturbing".
The Corpus Clock is a product of traditional mechanical clockmaking. It features the world's largest grasshopper escapement, a low-friction mechanism for converting pendulum motion into rotational motion. The grasshopper escapement was an invention of the renowned eighteenth-century clockmaker John Harrison.
At the FVMS in Alloa. Just finished this Oak clock with laser engraving of the Wallace Monument Stirling.
This is a wall clock which was my grandmother's - it's shaped like a giant pocket watch. I was just messing about with this, and the photos came out a bit unspectacular, with a massive blue tinge and not capturing the antiquey feel of the clock. So Photoshop to the rescue - I played around with the levels a lot, plus contrast, a little yellow Photo Filter and some elements of the pseudolomo technique posted in the Techniques group at

As promised, this is an updated version, but I'm still not sure I'm through with it, so comments would be great.
The laptop inside the frame and secured.
Two additional superglued Lego structures support it from the sides and long bolts stop it tipping back.
That's why the side blocks aren't symmetric -- they're positioned so the bolt ends protrude into a void where there are no keys.

Clock radios fascinate me. For a technology item, people hold on to them much longer than anything else I can think of. I mean, when is the last time you've heard of someone say, "Man, I really should upgrade my clock radio?"
Day 83 of 365: Went to a total rip-off Dali exposition. Wasn't allowed to take pictures (not that there was much worth photographing) so I stealthed one with my camera phone.
A close-up view of the restored clock faces and the replica gas lamps attached to the Jubilee clock tower in Mitcham. Another part of London to have a Jubilee clock tower similar to this is Harlesden, with the clock tower being located on Harlesden's busy high street.
