The tower of the Old Post Office Pavilion in Washington D.C.
Taken on April 10, 2012, from Freedom Plaza; Canon Rebel G, Kodak Ultra Max 400, Canon 28-105mm USM lens, and the Kowa 2X Bell & Howell anamorphic.
Noticed there's some "pincushion" type distortion on the sides in my 35mm anamorphic shots, which I haven't seen in my digital ones. I like it.
Clock outside the Neshoba County courthouse in Philadelphia, Mississippi.
The courthouse had been recently renovated, and this new clock was a very classy looking addition.

It's hard to take pictures of this thing without reflections. The picture frame glass is not anti-glare.
What does Anker mean? Good question. Anker is the name of the Insurance company that owns the building where the clock is.
At noon twelve figures representing the history of Vienna (from the Roman Emperor Marcus Aurelius to Joseph Haydn) move across the face of the clock. Every hour one of these figures (or a pair of figures) is displayed. The clock was created in 1911 by Franz von Matsch.
The Prague astronomical clock, or Prague orloj, is a medieval astronomical clock located in Prague. The clock was first installed in 1410, making it the third-oldest astronomical clock in the world and the oldest one still working.
The Orloj is mounted on the southern wall of Old Town Hall in the Old Town Square. The clock mechanism itself is composed of three main components: the astronomical dial, representing the position of the Sun and Moon in the sky and displaying various astronomical details; "The Walk of the Apostles", a clockwork hourly show of figures of the Apostles and other moving sculptures—notably a figure of Death (represented by a skeleton) striking the time; and a calendar dial with medallions representing the months. According to local legend, the city will suffer if the clock is neglected and its good operation is placed in jeopardy.
The clock tower in Thimphu. It's a bit of an anti climax, but was impressing none the less. There was a program going on, and some renovations as well.

Now that I think about it, it's not like the clip frames are sealed or anything, so I guess I have the option of rotating this "collection" if the spirit moves me.

Fortunate to catch this with the clock refracted pretty full in the water drop. It goes to say there's a hundred others where I missed the drop completely!! The clock is about two feet away from the camera (and upside down so the image appears upright in the drop,the water's dropped from a small eye dropper)
Inside Normansfield clock tower.
Someone had removed the clocks workings and they lay on the roof, the hospital closed in 1997 yet was still in fairly good condition back in 2005. Back then the clock still worked! Nowerdays the building is in very bad condition, floors are very unsafe and internaly part are verging on collapse.
Christians have worshipped on this site since the Middle Ages, and this church is probably the fifth to be built here.
The current church building stands rebuilt following the destruction in the Blitz of 1941.
The first church may date back as far as the 12th century, with the 14th century seeing the rebuilding of St Mary's in the decorated Gothic style, and by 1343 it is known to have contained at least two subsidiary chapels dedicated to St Anne and the Holy Trinity.
There were extensive changes to the interior during the Reformation, with vestments being abandoned and worship offered in English or Welsh. By 1700 serious weaknesses were starting to appear in the fabric of the building, culminating with the collapse of the nave in 1739. The replacement nave was small and cheap. A new organ was added in the 1760s, gas lighting in the early 1820s, and bells in 1720 and 1879.
In the 1890s the church was reconstructed when the 14th century chancel and tower with the 18th century nave were replaced by a unified early English gothic design of Sir Arthur Blomfield. Blomfield's church burned to the ground in February 1941 during the blitz. The present church was consecrated in 1959 following the original blueprint. The church today has many examples of contemporary stained glass and design.
