Clocks from the Street
View allAll Photos Tagged clock
Princes Street is one of the major thoroughfares in central Edinburgh, Scotland, and the main shopping street in the capital. It is the southernmost street of Edinburgh's New Town, stretching around 1 mile (1.6 km) from Lothian Road in the west, to Leith Street in the east. The street is mostly closed to private cars, with public transport given priority. The street has virtually no buildings on the south side, allowing panoramic views of the Old Town, Edinburgh Castle, and the valley between.
Imposant par le décor architectural de sa façade, ce bâtiment de style éclectique date de l'époque de Napoléon III (construit de 1866 à 1885) et évoque la puissance industrielle et le classicisme gréco-romain
How to photograph the Marshall field clock?
Iconic landmarks, the clocks were designed by the firm of Graham, Anderson, Probst and White, for the store's architect D.H. Burnham.
Each clock is made of 7¾ tons of cast bronze.
The face of the clock is 46" across, the minute hand is 27" and the hour hand is 20½" long. The clock is impulse operated from a master timepiece located in the store. The timepiece is checked twice daily with the Arlington time signal and corrects the clocks every hour.
Photographed over the century countless times, I wanted to present it not as a clock, but as part of the history of our city. Melding it into the city-scape as a face in the crowd.
The clock you see was installed at State and Washington in 1907 and as time moves "One Way" - second by second, minute by minute it is suddenly 2023.
I love how that "one way" sign becomes crucial in the narrative and an anchor for the deep perspective.

9月になった。はやっ。
毎日暑い。しかも今週末台風がすごいっぽい？！？
何もなく過ぎ去りますように。
劇落ちした体力を戻すべく、運動を始めております。
最初10分も持ちませんでしたが、
なんとか30分動けるように。
所詮ゲーム！と侮っておりましたが、
姿勢も良くなってきたし、すごいねぇ。ゲームさまさま！

“When I do count the clock that tells the time,
And see the brave day sunk in hideous night;
When I behold the violet past prime,
And sable curls all silver'd o'er with white;
When lofty trees I see barren of leaves
Which erst from heat did canopy the herd,
And summer's green all girded up in sheaves
Borne on the bier with white and bristly beard,
Then of thy beauty do I question make,
That thou among the wastes of time must go,
Since sweets and beauties do themselves forsake
And die as fast as they see others grow;
And nothing 'gainst Time's scythe can make defence
Save breed, to brave him when he takes thee hence.”
― William Shakespeare, Shakespeare's Sonnets

Fade Away by Cica Ghost:
The new clocks hung on trees by main pathways as you enter Hawk Wood are really useful for dog walkers and other forest users.
It's clear from the tree that they love us.

Architectural detail of the clock atop the 307-foot-tall Main Building at the University of Texas at Austin. Along the bottom of the image, one can see bullet holes from police officers returning the fire of mass murderer Charles Whitman during his 1966 massacre that left 16 people dead and a further 32 injured.
A wonderful old clock in Rokoko style, an inheritance from my mother. Unfortunately it no longer works and I have no place to stand. Now the clock is waiting in the cellar....
