One September day in 1867, “Gassy Jack” Deighton arrived (he received his nickname because of his penchant for spinning tall tales and talking without end). He stepped ashore with a barrel of whiskey, telling the millworkers that if they’d build him a saloon, he’d serve them drinks. The saloon was up and running within a day. Gastown was born. Gastown is a refreshing mix of old and new, downhome and upscale, a place for tourists, Vancouver residents and office workers alike. Various shops have the streets buzzing during the day. A host of restaurants and nightspots keeps the area humming into the wee hours. And, more and more, Gastown is becoming home to permanent residents…just like in the old days.
in Ahmadi, there is a light miniature in every roundabout. With the changing color of this clock, I thought the best way to take all of its light is to merge it into HDR. Around six shots were used ranging from EV-4 to EV+2. I didn't dare to upload the original size for the obvious noise level at 100% zoom!

The clock, which projects over the High Street from the Guildhall, and which has regularly appeared on television, proudly displays its original date of 1683.
The case is made of English oak, has a cast iron internal frame and copper dials. Conservation work included stripping off all the accumulated layers ofpaint, re-finishing and re-gilding with 231⁄2 carat Englishgold leaf. Additional repairs were made to parts of the mechanical clock movement which is a traditional two train type with recoil anchor escapement and had been cared for by Smith of Derby for many years.
Daedalus Conservation also worked on this project and their woodworking craftsmen cut out and replaced parts of the timber casing which were causing concern. Smith of Derby clockmakers removed rust from all theironwork, applied anti-corrosion primer and re-finishedthe whole case in high quality exterior gloss paint. All this work was completed on-site.

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~!
