百無聊賴，
神出鬼沒的蚊子成了狩獵物。
緊迫的盯伺謀殺，蚊子魂歸西天於我手臂上。
腫隆起的疙瘩丘陵，像是蚊子葬身的墓塚。
偶一抬首，瞥見圓鐘上的時針，
忽跳一格，頓止。
有種放大鏡效果，
時間真是匆匆得鬼鬼祟祟。
Cathedrals were built to inspire awe - and the chimes of the clock helped notify the clergy and parishioners that it was time to worship.
The clock, in it's wood structure, was installed during the time of Prior Thomas Castell (1494-1519), and renovated by Dean Hunt between 1620 and 1638.
One of the only substantial wood items to survive the Civil War, when even the soldiers billeted in the cold at Durham recognised how precious the clock was.

The towerclock dates 1920 and was donateur by ship-owner N. J. Holden and wife. The clock was made at the Cornelis Knudsen workshop by clockmaker Jens Olsen, better known for this worldclock at the Copenhagen Townhall.
This is an old New Haven clock. Not sure when it was made. The case has fell apart.
The brass mechanism needs cleaned, but it still works. I wanted to restore but it may be beyond my skills.
I was given the idea to turn this into a clock by a reddit user lonelytax. So I put one together quickly.

A bit of a cliche to take a shot of the Astronomical Clock in Prague but I couldn't help myself.
The oldest part of the Orloj, the mechanical clock and astronomical dial, dates back to 1410 when it was made by clockmaker Mikuláš of Kadaň and Jan Šindel, the latter a professor of mathematics and astronomy at Charles University. The first recorded mention of the clock was on 9 October 1410. Later, presumably around 1490, the calendar dial was added and clock facade was decorated with gothic sculptures.
Formerly, it was believed that the Orloj was constructed in 1490 by clockmaster Jan Růže (also called Hanuš); this is now known to be a historical mistake. A legend, recounted by Alois Jirásek, has it that the clockmaker Hanuš was blinded on the order of the Prague Councillors so that he could not repeat his work; in turn, he broke down the clock, and no one was able to repair it for the next hundred years.
In 1552 it was repaired by Jan Taborský (ca1500–1572), master clockmaker of Klokotská Hora, who also wrote a report of the clock where he mentioned Hanuš as maker of this clock. This mistake, corrected by Zdeněk Horský, was due to an incorrect interpretation of records from the period. The mistaken assumption of Hanuš authorship is probably connected with his reconstruction of the Old Town Hall in years 1470-1473. The clock stopped working many times in the centuries after 1552, and was repaired many times.
In 1629 or 1659 wooden statues were added, and figures of the Apostles were added after major repair in 1787-1791. During the next major repair in years 1865-1866 the golden figure of a crowing rooster was added.
The Orloj suffered heavy damage on May 7 and especially May 8, 1945, during the Prague Uprising, when Germans set fire from several armoured vehicles and an anti-aircraft gun to the south-west side of the Old Town Square in an effort to silence the provocative broadcasting initiated by the National Committee on May 5. The hall and nearby buildings burned along with the wooden sculptures on the Orloj and the calendar dial face made by Josef Mánes. After significant effort, the machinery was repaired, the wooden Apostles restored by Vojtěch Sucharda, and the Orloj started working again in 1948.
The Orloj was last renovated in autumn 2005, when the statues and the lower ring were restored by Josef Manes. Wooden statues were covered with a net to keep pigeons away.

This photograph has taken on a life of its own. I say this because it is viewed by many people every day.
The shot was taken on a very windy day in the backyard of my old house with my first DSLR and prime macro lens. What surprises me is that despite the dandelion being blown about by the wind (and being a handheld shot (I was on my hands and knees)) the central detail is so clear!
So, if you are one of the people who have viewed and enjoyed this, since it was first shared on flickr, please accept my thanks and gratitude.
Like ALL of my photographs this is © stephen cotterell photography so please do not use this without my express permission. If it is for your personal blog I am more than likely to say yes but please check. If you want it for any kind of commercial activity (including your internal powerpoint presentation) then you need to pay me BEFORE use. I feel sure that you understand.
Thank you
Lost the plot. I've knitted a clock.

Improvised clock cosy from my warped mind. More details on my Ravelry project page :p
The three-faced clock in the middle of Milngavie was an original feature of Copland & Lye department store on 165 Sauchiehall Street, Glasgow. The Clock was gifted to Milngavie when the town centre was pedestrianised. The initials of the department store "C & L" can be seen at the top of the clock.
On the morning of December 6th, 1917, the most violent man-made explosion before the atomic bomb rocked Halifax harbour, in Nova Scotia, Canada, when a Norwegian vessel collided with a French munitions ship. The blast completely flattened everything within 800 meters, sent shrapnel flying for several kilometers, and started a tsunami that demolished whole communities. More than 1900 people died that day, and 10,000 suffered horrific, life-long injuries. Flying glass from windows throughout the city, blinded thousands as they stood watching the fire moments before the big explosion. The stories of both tragedy and heroism are plentiful, and are fascinating to learn about. The hands on the clock at city hall remain permanently fixed at 9:04:35 AM; stopped at the exact moment of the explosion.

Normally, when we think of clocks, we think of time — seconds, minutes, hours. When we think of scales, we think of weight — ounces, grams, pounds. However, a new clock developed by physicists at the University of California, Berkeley is said to be the most fundamental clock ever created, combining a clock’s function with a scale’s, telling time in matter.
