Square The clock
Archaeological excavations have proved that here was the location of the forum Avenio . The memory of the center of the ancient city survived all during the Middle Ages as the medieval streets were all the doors of the old wall of the twelfth and thirteenth century to the square. It was then "Place du Mazel" which settled the macelliers (butchers) market days. It was partly occupied by the Benedictine convent of Saint-Laurent, the oldest of the city.
The first public clock and jacquemart were installed on the tower of the former livery of Albano, the new headquarters of the City Hall, in 1471 .New demolitions were made during 1498 to clear the place that had then taken the name "instead of relocated" .
But the 1618 plan, drawn up by Marco Antonio Gandolfo, mathematician Palermo and engraved by Theodore Hoochstraten, The Hague, "The Square" still had some very small dimensions . In 1674, the consuls decided to further expansion having noted that the carriages great difficulty in passing it. It was followed this municipal ordinance in 1682, following the plancs by Pierre Mignard.
But it was far from enough. In the middle of the eighteenth century, Jean-Baptiste Frankish pitched in turn plans to enlarge the Place in which it provided, on both sides, symmetrical facades. Work began then was abandoned on the orders of the consuls in 1754 .

This is such a wonderful clock
Telford Shopping Centre's most striking feature is a giant clock above its central square. Called the Telford Time Machine, it weighs four tonnes, spans 16 m and incorporates a frog that winks and blows bubbles at passers-by.
The clock was designed by artist and writer Kit Williams, and adds a much-needed dash of colour to the 78,965 sq m (850,000 sq ft) centre. While attracting an average of 300,000 visitors a week, more than twice the population of Telford, the shopping centre's layout is increasingly seen as an obstacle to growth.
The project for March is Pr0JCL0C, a simple timer to help me keep track of time spent on a project (it's also a clock). The Green button starts timing, the Red button stops. Session times are added to a running total which is stored in the Arduino's EEPROM. I implemented simple wear levelling to preserve the EEPROM.
This is not about seeing how fast I can do something but curiosity about how long some of these projects take. Often I'll go into the den and emerge several hours later. And then do it again the next night. Occasionally I take rough notes about session times but I thought it would be fun to make it easier to do.

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...

"Der Kröpcke, ein zentraler Platz in der niedersächsischen Landeshauptstadt Hannover, ist ein wichtiger Aufenthalts- und Treffpunkt sowie ein bedeutender Verkehrsknotenpunkt.
Die Hannoveraner bezeichnen mit Kröpcke die Straßenkreuzung Georgsstraße, Karmarschstraße, Bahnhofstraße und Rathenaustraße rund um die Kröpcke-Uhr und die U-Bahn-Station Kröpcke."
