Clock towers were first built in Ottoman territories in the 16th century and would often also function as barometers, windmills, compasses, fire watchtowers or meeting points. After the decleration of the Republic of Turkey, cities were built around clock towers, especially in Anatolia. Only 52 of 144 clock towers built during the Ottoman period still exist today.

Saat kuleleri Osmanlı topraklarında 16. yüzyılda görülmeye başlandı; saatçiliğe meraklı olan II. Abdülhamid’in tahta çıkışının 25. yıl dönümünde (1901) valilere gönderdiği “irade” (ferman) ile vilayet ve sancaklara yayıldı. Halkın görebileceği yüksek bir tepeye, şehrin en kalabalık meydanına ya da kale, cami gibi tarihî yapıların üstüne inşa edilen saat kuleleri, aynı zamanda barometre, rüzgâr gülü, pusula, yangın gözetleme yeri ve buluşma noktası işlevi görürdü. Cumhuriyet’le birlikte özellikle Anadolu’daki kentler, kuleler çevresinde meydan oluşturulacak şekilde kurulmuştur. Osmanlı döneminde yapılan 144 saat kulesinden 52’si günümüze ulaşmıştır.

The exterior surface of holdfast dwellers is less smooth than on frond and stipe dwellers and, on this one, is partly coated with epizoic animals . As usual, the juvenile growth is mainly free of epizoa.
This GS5 shell has acquired a thickening interior layer with a distinct pedal-retractor-muscle scar (1) and mantle-attachment scar (2) .

I am strangely drawn to clocks
the strange part is
none of them are set
none of them actually run
and
I don't own a watch
I am obsessive about being on time
I am never late
perhaps I know that
setting them
would me me
more obsessive......
Here is the second picture of the clock. This time from the inside.

It's easy to take photos of model trams, the real fun is when you run them to a timetable with a fast clock.
The program on the laptop is free from www.dotric.com.au/trains/FastClock.htm
This program allows the operator to schedule sevices by destination, set the time ratio, count down for the next three departures plus stop, pause and edit. The previous set up I had was a reworked clock face ( set 3:1 ratio) and a excel spread sheet.
This is my first attempt at what is commonly called HDR. Since this was a night photo I could not get the exposure right for both the scene and the brightness of the clock. I took two photos, one properly exposed for the clock faces and one for the rest of the scene and selectively blended them in Paint.NET to create a single image with proper exposure for both elements.
View of the clock face inside the Cathedral. Located in the north transept, it’s an astronomical clock inside but an ‘ordinary’ one on the outside. The original mechanism dates from between 1386 and 1392, but was replaced in the 19th century, and eventually moved to the Science Museum in London, where it continues to operate. The dial represents a geocentric view of the universe, with sun and moon revolving around a central Earth. Above, every quarter hour a figure comes out to hit two bells, and a pair of jousting knights chase each other.

Here's the latest electronics project I finished. - A clock made of old Nixie Tubes.
It was a full kit that I ordered out of England. It took about 6 hours to build at a leisurely rate.
Years ago, I used to work at a PBS station. It had a Master Control room, full of decks and monitors and buttons and whatnot. It was where satellite feeds were recorded and shows were played back. So, everything runs on time, having a clock was pretty essential.
Being a PBS station, even the clock was a kit of some sort. It kept horrible time and and we made fun of it on a regular basis.
That being said, I had a fantastic time working there and made a bunch of friends that I keep up with to this day.
So, that's why I wanted one.

The clock tower in Market Place, Bexleyheath. The bust is of William Morris. On the opposite side is King George VI remember it always looked larger, perhaps it is the surrounding buildings which have grown.

I used an old Canon optical image stabilizer lens [EF-S 17-85mm 1:4-5.6 IS USM] on an EOS 450D DSLR. With exposures of up to a 1/4 of a second, most of the images had to be discarded, and the remainder are very "grainy" / "noisy", but the pictures at least form a sort of record of the event...
The clock tower of Riga's railway station. Next destination London.

Considering its age, (over 200 years) the clock was in pretty good condition. It was filthy and part of the pediment was missing (presumably removed to fit into a lower ceilinged house). This picture shows a patch before and after cleaning.
My dream clock and the peacock feather/pussy willow arrangement from other vase of my Grandma's. It used to sit in our bedroom at Grandma's house, those same pussy willows in the same vase.
