A view upstream the Pegnitz river. The building on the left is the Heilig-Geist-Spital, built 1339. The Reichskleinodien (Imperial Regalia) were stored there from 1424 to 1796.
The Schuldturm tower in the center was built in 1323 as part of the town fortifications. As the city grew and new fortifications were built further outside the town, the tower found new use as debtors' prison, thus the name Schuldturm (lit. "debt tower").

Looking north along the tracks of the abandoned S-Bahn station "München Olympiastadion". Last train was 1988... - 38 years ago...
The station was built especially for the 1972 Summer Olympics held nearby. After the Olympic Games ended, the station was used only if football matches were held at the Olympic Stadium. In 1988 operations ceased finally, since then the station is left for decay - despite being a listed building as part of the Olympic ensemble.

Tick Tock Tick Tock,
I don't like you naughty clock,
When it's time for me to play,
How your hands just race away,
But when for me there's work to do,
Nothing goes as slow as you,
So tick tock tick tock,
I don't like you naughty clock.
HMM!
Macro Mondays: Timepieces
Time is free, but it's priceless. You can't own it, but you can use it. You can't keep it, but you can spend it. Once you've lost it you can never get it back.
— Harvey Mackay

A dial test indicator consists of a gauge; on the gauge is a pin level mounted on a spring. When the pin contacts a surface, pressure forces the pin lever up, causing the dial gauge to move. Numbers marked on the perimeter of the dial test indicator display the amount of pressure applied to the pin lever.
Some of us can remember a telephone dial. It's old and grubby, still works though.☎
Hey, in case you wondered, no, this scruffy object is in the shed, not the home. 😂

The Prague Astronomical Clock is a medieval astronomical clock located in Prague, on Old Town Square. The clock is located on the south wall of the town hall. The clock is said to have been built by master clockmaker Hanus on 9 October 1410. Legend has it that Hanus had his eyes gouged out to prevent him from reproducing his masterpiece elsewhere. The clock comes to life every hour until 9 p.m.
If you enlarge this photograph you might catch a glimpse of the local superhero doing a quick change in the phonebox. Is it a bird? Is it a plane? No it's Supertelephonist!
These red telephone boxes are very rare now, but you see plenty of rare things in historical Ross in Tasmania's Midlands. Both these boxes a fully operational (and on standby for superheroes or even a wannbe Dr Who). The box on the left is a fascinating way to tell local history. Open the door, go inside and dial up a story. Did you see the operator looking out at us?

Thanks for having a look. Have a great day / evening.
Said goodbye to neighbor and sometimes model Carol last week. She transitioned as friends sometimes do from a physical presence in my life to a tiny number alongside the text icon on my phone. We vowed to keep in touch, but it's never quite the same once neighbors are no longer defined as such. Her new home is just a few hours away, but might as well be across the country. I'm grateful that the universe brought us together for the relative short time we shared. And for the many scenes we were able to capture together. Our final session (neither of us knew it at the time) was last autumn in a parched soybean field under a magnificent sky. At times the low sun virtually electrified the withered crop field, seemingly bringing the plants back to life in a sea of light and texture. And there stood Carol, rendered in absolute shadowy blackness. It was as if someone had taken an X-Acto knife and simply cut her out of the photo. Prophetic indeed. Upon departing I told her we could return here any time for another session as it was literally within walking distance of our homes. But I had an uneasy sense that we never would.
Timepieces is the theme for Macro Mondays March 11th.

Moving from one period in time to another.
Yesterday is History, tomorrow is a Mystery, but today is a Gift. That is why it is called Present.
Happy Macro Monday 😊
