Clock Tower, Gravesend, Kent, 8 Nov 2009. The Catholic and Methodist churches may be seen in the background.
The first day of spring was once the time for taking the young virgins into the fields, there in dalliance to set an example in fertility for nature to follow. Now we just set the clocks an hour ahead and change the oil in the crankcase. ~E.B. White
This old clock tower (still works) is in downtown Petaluma. The downtown area has many historic buildings, good shopping and restaurants.
At King Street Station in Seattle.
Charles, his mother, Mindy, and I took a trip in the spring to Seattle, via Amtrak.
This was the last photograph I took of Charles, before he and his mother left us, and continued their trip, to California.
This clock has looked out over Halifax for more than a century and is a landmark welcoming sailors visiting the port city. It stands below the Citadel, a fortification built by the British to protect Halifax over its colonial years. The Citadel is open to visitors and the grounds are a site for kite flying, snow sledding and other activities.
this is what my clock looked like when it was half done.

This add made me giggle at first, and then I realised I actually wanted to do it!
Thought about it some more and remembered a lovely man telling me about grandfather clocks at one of the shows we were doing. He said that himself and his brother both bought grandfather clocks on the same day, in the same shop, and his brothers one had stopped working. (Suspectedly tampered with by one of his childers!!) But the man went on to tell me that his brother was going to pay €150 to have the clock fixed - when the man I was talking to had infact learned somewhere in his life that by doing one simple thing would fix the clock. The brother wouldn't let him near the clock as he didn't believe him, so when he went out - the brother with horologist notions worked his magic on the clock, saving the brother €150 squidaroos!
Their chair restoration course sounds great too.
Unsere Garten" (Our Garden) - a functioning flower clock at the City Gardens (Stadtpark), Vienna, Austria. Kursalon is a popular concert hall in Stadtpark where music of Mozart and Johann Strauss is often performed.
This is an entry to the Wheel of the Year project.
It looks quite a clear bedside table at the moment - mainly because the Robert Ludlum has gone back onto the bookshelf until I'm ready to read the second book of the trilogy!
Mamalamadingdong was given to meas part of Ayun Haliday's UK Book Tour which is very exciting. Look out for the tour hitting Pewari's Prattle on the 15th August.
The Midewin National Tallgrass Prairie is the largest island in the archipelago of protected areas that collectively comprise the Chicago Wilderness. It includes full array of species and natural processes typical of tallgrass prairies in the region, including the reintroduction of bison.
Turning back the clock from a landscape dominated by rusting munitions factories and abandoned ammunitions bunkers into a 20,283 acre pristine tallgrass prairie makes the Midewin a compelling vision for landscape scale restoration.

During the Photo Monk years, it was not unusual for me to set out walking and walk around an entire day taking pictures with no particular destination or goal in mind. That is where the title of the project came from, it was like being a Zen monk photographer, just walking, observing, photographing, and contemplating. One day while out on a walk in Indianapolis I found this wonderful wall and tower. I loved the use of different textures that all seemed to come from different periods all kinda put together. It worked oddly, so I captured it.
This image was taken in JPG using only the settings in my camera, there was no post-processing or editing.

Zagreb - Cathedral of the Assumption of the Blessed Virgin Mary: the cathedral clock which stopped at 7:03 after the earthquake of 1880. Also a comparison of the 1901 eroded stone columns which were replaced by new ones, starting in 1990
An original clock tower was built by architect John Middleton in 1847. It was a landmark for approaching ships and just beneath the clockfaces there was a little balcony for a look-out.
Although the tower had four sides, there were only three clockfaces. The clock was paid for by public subscription. Either an ironworks or a shipyard refused to contribute because it didn't want its workers clockwatching.
During a rebuild of Middlesbrough's dock either around 1870 or as late as 1903 this replacement was built. The tower doubled as a clocktower and a watertower to provide the hydraulic power to operate the dock gates and cranes. This dual use led to its shape: a bulky bottom to house the water, and a slender top for the clock.
The tower was restored in 2005 as part of the Middlehaven development.
