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.

This is the clock which gave me inspiration for my Macro Monday shot. One of my Flickr friends Di wanted to see it complete - so here it is just for you Di!!
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.

Taken for this week's Macro Mondays theme 'Timepieces'. The face of this small carriage clock is about 4 " in diameter. I liked the way that using a light source at the side threw the shadows of the hands across the face.
Manufactured by Gents of Leicester and hanging high over the main concourse, Waterloo’s huge four-sided clock has been a popular meeting point for Londoners (especially those on a romantic rendezvous) since the early 1920s.
This is a souvenir from an exhibition of German Renaissance art at the Met a few years back. It's always on my desk, so making use of things that are handy.
