A last shot before I scatter this dandelion seed head to the four winds. The last one of three, these seed heads have dried over the last 3 months (when I harvested them for the shot: flic.kr/p/c2aYb9) and are now extremerly fragile to touch and the slighest draught.
My girlfriend was given a collection of clock parts. I can't wait to get started on a steam punk project!
A small strip mall was built near me about ten years ago. The "tower" isn't much of a tower, but there is a clock that used to tell the correct time. Neither it nor the one on the sign was correct when I went past them today.
For the All New Scavenger Hunt challenge; four different clocks.
I bought this clock radio at a yard sale, but the two knobs that adjust the clock are missing. If you have a photo of this clock with the knobs intact, or know where I can get replacement knobs, let me know!
Bought a PCB from Gary Kaufman via Mike Harrison's web site and put it together with some Hivac XN11 nixie tubes.

Now, just to find/build a suitable case for it.....
The installers are 4 hours late to install our pellet stove. Good thing we have absolutely nothing to do today and are able to put our lives on hold for them while we sit around and wait.

I had this old clock case, an 8-day movement and some other bits and put them together. Mystery surrounds the 'CALEDONIAN REGISTERED' movements, possibly made in Birmingham around 1880. I thought it looked nice and deserved to be seen.
El primo mayor del tito Ben. ¿right?
Una de las pocas fotos que me dió tiempo a hacer en Manchester, que no lo parece, pero estube allà :)
An inside look at the clock tower in Bangor, PA. The antique four-faced clock was manufactured by the E. Howard Clock Co. of Boston, Massachusetts, and was installed in the borough hall in 1907. In addition to being Bangor’s timepiece, the clock chimed a coded ring to alert the borough fire department as to the location of the fire. They also used the tower to hang the fire hoses after a fire to dry.
After a period of neglect when the chimes fell silent, the Slate Belt Heritage Center, under the guidance and care of Jay Albert, brought the historic clock back to life again in early 2000. The help of a generous personal donation helped Jay to single-handedly restore the faces. The clock mechanism was restored by David Morgan, former president of the Worldwide Clock Towers Association.

All that remains of the Victoria Station, now guarding the entrance to the Victoria Centre, Nottingham, UK.
New York, NY; the sign was moved (building demolished) & replaced recently to accommodate bigger numbers (and I guess this sign will have to be replaced yet again very soon!); I like the look of the old sign better - from 2003:

Since this is a static photo rather than a video, just imagine those numbers on the right flying by 24 hours a day. Rather frightening!
Showing sleep patterns over last month/week/day, single-button to turn on or off, clock-face and little ambient Zs showing other users who've gone to sleep.

Urban exploration (UrbEx) isn't something I typically do a lot of, but a close friend invited me to come along with him once, and I decided to give it a try. It was definitely an interesting and exciting experience, and made for some fantastic photo opportunities. Not sure if this is something I'd do often, but it was fun and unique!
The location is an abandoned hospital in rural Pennsylvania, which has only been vacant a few years, but the damage inflicted by vandals, vagrants, and scrappers has taken a considerable toll on building's integrity. Combined with fire and weather damage, it looks like it's been abandoned for decades, rather than years, and it's undeniably spooky inside.
This clock will never tick again.
