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.

The Clock Tower of Cardiff Castle from Bute Park. Looking particularly fine since it's recent restoration during which it made the news when someone climbed the scaffolding to steal the clock hands!
Designed by the Gothic Revival architect William Burges.

This Lego clock tower modular is inspired by Prague Astronomical Clock in Prague, Czech Republic. Besides the clock tower there are also three small houses. Total width of all buildings is 48 studs and about 4100 bricks were used. Computer rendering but only existing bricks were used.
The Clock Tower of Sighișoara was a town hall and a prison. The following engraving was found near the Torture Chamber's window: "Morgen werde ich..." ("Tomorrow I will..."), which might be a prisoner's last message, on his last day alive.
A gift!
To compliment the new [RnR] Modular Ballet Barre set and the [RnR] Rehearsal Post (choreographed dancer for up to 6 ballerinas), you can find this clock as a gift at the 9th anniversary round of The Liaison Collaborative - just look for the little gift box in the RnR booth.

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~!

Paris. The Sacré-Coeur church is in the background. In the foreground is the clock face of the Musée d’Orsay, which looks northwards across the city. The church was completed in 1914 and is on the summit of Montmartre, the highest point in Paris.
The Orloj is mounted on the southern wall of Old Town Hall in the Old Town Square. The clock mechanism itself has three main components: the astronomical dial, representing the position of the Sun and Moon in the sky and displaying various astronomical details; statues of various Catholic saints stand on either side of the clock; "The Walk of the Apostles", a clockwork hourly show of figures of the Apostles and other moving sculptures—notably a figure of Death (represented by a skeleton) striking the time; and a calendar dial with medallions representing the months. According to local legend, the city will suffer if the clock is neglected and its good operation is placed in jeopardy; a ghost, mounted on the clock, was supposed to nod its head in confirmation. According to the legend, the only hope was represented by a boy born on New Year's night. The clock dates to 1410. - Wikipedia

The Clock Tower of Cardiff's City Hall is perhaps the most distinctive architectural feature of the building, bold and asymmetrical and a well-loved Cardiff landmark. It's also been home to a pair of peregrine falcons for the last few years.

The clock frame, which contains the mechanism, is 5’10” in length and made of one solid piece of cast iron, ensuring perfect rigidity. The escapement is a three-legged ‘gravity’ design, and made of gun-metal. The time is shown on four twelve foot wide gilded dials, one on each face of the tower.

Note to self: remember when changing lenses on a D3100 that it remembers the exposure settings used the last time the lens was used :(
Yet another funky appartement building at Aarhus Ø. It is called Kampanilen and is by B.I.G. (Bjarke Ingels Group).
365 day clock on mantelpiece in front of mirror. This is a blend of two photos, the in-focus clock and an out of focus image. Processed in LAB colour space with Affinity photo, the two shots are blended using Affinity luminosity blend. With no further adjustment, the luminosity blend eliminated the blown out specular highlights in the in-focus image. A curves layer was then added to adjust the colours and contrast. I should add that the RAW (ORF) files were converted to DNG using DxO Pure RAW; this highlighted the blown-out regions in pink - red.
The clock is interesting. I picked it up years ago in a second-hand shop in Dunedin (NZ). Turns out that it is twin to a clock held in the Otago Early Settlers Museum, dating from the time of the first european arrivals, and bearing an inscription dedicating it to the captain of the vessel that carried them, presumably a gift from grateful passengers to the captain, expressing their thanks for a safe journey. Our clock bears no inscription.
Which ever direction you look in Salzburg, beauty. And as if the architecture isn't enough, you have snow covered mountains in the background! Love that city....
Clock Tower Nestled In Autumn Color. I finally found the perfect angle to photograph this beautiful Cambridge, Vermont landmark.

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!
This was taken a number of years back in 2016. My son was getting married up in British Columbia, Canada, and my daughters and I were, of course, getting our hair all styled for the wedding! This classy looking clock was hanging in the hair salon and I just had to take a couple pics. Hope you all enjoy!
