Thanks for your visit and comments, much appreciated!🙋♀️
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.

Edit: Hope you can forgive me for uploading it again, but I wasn't entirely happy with the post pro and had to retouch it a little
“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.

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.
