An old time clock complete with time cards in an old abandoned manufacturing plant. How many of you can remember punching a card before and after shift? I can, back in the '70s. There were no computers or smartphones back then.
The World Clock (Weltzeituhr) in Berlin is a prominent landmark located in Alexanderplatz, unveiled in 1969 as part of the square’s redesign during the GDR era. Designed by Erich John, the clock features a cylindrical structure with a rotating display of 24 time zones, representing cities from around the world, and a solar system model atop it. Today, it serves as a popular meeting spot and a symbol of Berlin’s dynamic, interconnected history.
Christian Ackermann
Last quarter of the seventeenth century.
Church of the Holy Spirit
Tallinn, Estonia
Christian Ackermann was born in Königsberg. He worked in Riga, Stockholm, and Gdańsk, before becoming active in Tallinn from about 1672 until his death in 1710. In 1675, Ackermann moved to Tallinn and acquired his own workshop. He probably died either in 1710 or a short time later from plague.
Christian Ackermann was one of the greatest masters of the Baroque style in Estonia. He brought strong Central European influences to Northeast Europe, in particular the motifs of the Baroque and masterful Acanthus ornaments.

I prefer the other clock, but this one does show the movement theory although this is not the finished article. I do like the very dark background on this one compared to the other one though.
Prague's astronomical clock is the third oldest astronomical clock in the world and the only one still working. Decorating the facade of the Old Town Hall in Prague's Old Town Square, the clock dates back to 1410. The top portion of the clock tells time as well as the position of the sun and moon. The bottom portion was added 80 years after the original clock and serves as a calendar. There are also several figures decorating the clock; a skeleton representing Death strikes the time each hour - eerily my favorite part of the clock~!

Note to self: remember when changing lenses on a D3100 that it remembers the exposure settings used the last time the lens was used :(
