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 Victoria Clock Tower, or Lorloz as it is better known in Creole, is the most prominent feature of Seychelles’ small capital, and has acted as a focal point for nearly 100 years. While all around massive transformation has taken place in the town centre, with modern buildings of concrete and glass springing up, the Clocktower has remained virtually unchanged.
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.

The Strasbourg astronomical clock is located in the Cathédrale Notre-Dame of Strasbourg, Alsace, France. It is the third clock on that spot and dates from the time of the first French possession of the city (1681–1870). The first clock had been built in the 14th century, the second in the 16th century, when Strasbourg was a Free imperial city of the Holy Roman Empire.
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.
The clock show of It's A Small World nearing completion. The doors that show the time are in the process of opening.
Belfasts own leaning tower, the Albert clock was built between 1865 and 1870.
As its built on soft land, that has been reclaimed from the sea, the tower leans and only recently has had a restoration which included straighting it up a little.
This is an old fashioned, pulse clock which - many years ago - was driven from a master clock. The master clock has long been disconnected and I was hoping to be able to donate this to the Ipswich Transport Museum as they have a master clock. But, my employer, in their infinite wisdom, what to put this in their archive.

The Clock Tower of the Houses of Parliament in London at night. This photo was taken from the western face during my European road trip in 2004. The tower is artifically lit from the base, with trees silhouetted in the foreground.
The name "Big Ben" originally referred to the largest bell (also called the "Great Bell") inside the tower, rather than the tower itself. The tower is 316 feet tall, and was designed in a neo-gothic style by Augustus Pugin. Its clock has been keeping time since 1859.
I went into the garden, the aim was to do some gardening, mow the lawn... do some weeding and pruning etc. But then I saw the dandelion clocks on the grass, and got distracted. It doesn't take much to distract me, in fact methinks I was perhaps looking for a distraction! I do like taking photos of these, and hadn't picked up the macro lens for a while, so it had to be done.
Alas the garden remains unkempt, but it has been mowed twice this year which is an improvement from last year. I will get round to it in Summer 2012 I am sure!
The Balmoral Clock on the Balmoral Hotel on Princes Street taken from Waterloo Place. Another shot with the Lensbaby 3G this time with the f4 aperture ring in to get more blur. Wasn't the easiest shot to take to be honest. Focus on the clock face was a challenge even with the 3G. Happy enough with this though.
