Thank you.
Besides photography, building clocks is my favorite hobby. Sampling of clocks I have recently built. The large cathedral in the background (Duomo de Milan) seems to be floating, but actually it is seated on an elevated stand.
An ornamental clock in the Somerset town of Frome. The clock uses the letters of Frome and Selwood instead of numbers. Selwood was one a small village but has now become one of the suburbs of Frome.

Clock programmed using Processing. The 'planets' follow the hour, minute, and second hand, whilst the gradients change hue gradually each minute. The gradient is produced by changing the HSB values, with brightness highest for the outer ring and becoming darker by 10% for each ring towards the centre.

Halifax Town Clock located in the City of Halifax Nova Scotia Canada
Prince Edward, Duke of Kent commissioned a clock tower in 1800 prior to his return to England. The Town Clock opened on October 20, 1803, at a location on the east slope of Citadel Hill on Barrack (now Brunswick) Street and has kept time for the community ever since.
Medieval Marketplace
Welcome to the third project of my little medieval town - Medieval Marketplace!
In my marketplace you can see a tall tower with an astronomical clock on one side (a copy of the Old Town Hall Tower) and ordinary clocks on the other.
On the same square, life is in full swing! Here you will see a butcher chopping a piece of meat for the next customer - an old astronomer in a luxurious hat, and a fish merchant. A prosperous merchant with all kinds of trinkets, living in a house near the tower and unloading all sorts of supplies from the cart. A baker just baked another pretzel in his bakery. Well and of course the guards keeping order. :)
The project also includes 10 minifigures:
a jester fireman,
two guards,
a merchant of some supplies,
a fish merchant,
a baker,
a butcher,
two peasants,
a horse
The second floor of the houses and the roofs are easily removed. The whole model is fully playable. The tower is empty inside.
I was inspired to create this project by my trip to Prague last summer. Initially, I planned to create a project only for the Astronomical Clock (Old Town Hall Tower), but having built the tower, I decided to slightly change it and add a market square to it - in the end it’s a fantasy! :)
Also, when building this project, I was inspired by such clock towers as The Zytglogge and Ledbury Clock Tower, and a set of lego castle 10193 medieval marketplace.
I hope you enjoyed

The World Clock on Alexanderplatz in Berlin is for me one of the most beautiful remains of the former GDR. It symbolizes how close the places on the world are. And if you take a long enough exposure, you get a feeling that it’s possible to travel a bit through time and space.

A view through time , in the foreground obviously is the Elizabeth Tower housing Big Ben ( a shot before all the scaffolding went up ) and beyond is Westminster Abbey which goes back in time even further .
Westminster Abbey is steeped in more than a thousand years of history. Benedictine monks first came to this site in the middle of the tenth century, establishing a tradition of daily worship which continues to this day.
The Abbey has been the coronation church since 1066 and is the final resting place of seventeen monarchs. The present church, begun by Henry III in 1245, is one of the most important Gothic buildings in the country, with the medieval shrine of an Anglo-Saxon saint still at its heart.
A treasure house of paintings, stained glass, pavements, textiles and other artefacts, Westminster Abbey is also the place where some of the most significant people in the nation's history are buried or commemorated. Taken as a whole the tombs and memorials comprise the most significant single collection of monumental sculpture anywhere in the United Kingdom.

Dolmabahçe Clock Tower (Turkish: Dolmabahçe Saat Kulesi) is a clock tower situated outside Dolmabahçe Palace in Istanbul, Turkey. The tower was ordered by Ottoman sultan Abdülhamid II (1842–1918) and designed by the court architect Sarkis Balyan between 1890 and 1895.
The clock tower was added to Dolmabahçe Palace, and stands in front of its Treasury Gate on a square along the European waterfront of Bosphorus next to Dolmabahçe Mosque. Designed in Ottoman neo-baroque style, the four-sided, four-story tower stands on a floor area of 8.5 × 8.5 m (28 × 28 ft) at a height of 27 m (89 ft). Its clock was manufactured by the renowned French clockmaker house of Jean-Paul Garnier, and installed by the court clock master Johann Mayer. In 1979, the original mechanical clock was converted partly to an electrical one. On two opposite sides of the tower, the tughra of Sultan Abdul Hamid II is put on
The clock was erected in 1899 to commemorate the Diamond Jubilee of Queen Victoria two years earlier. It was designed by Chester architect, John Douglas and since 1955 it has been a Grade I listed building.
It is usually viewed from below at street level but this view is from the Roman walls of the City where it was erected.
It is reputed to be the second most photographed clock in the UK after Big Ben.
