The analog clock at an information booth in the main hall at Washington National (NOT Reagan!) Airport. That's AM; way too early.
A roundabout just up from the train station in Dar es Salaam, Tanzania, features a non-functioning Clock Tower (1961).
Elizabeth Tower, originally named the Clock Tower, and popularly known as "Big Ben".
I like historical buildings/architecture, it always amazed me with the details on the facade, the amazing craftsmanship.
It is a must see for me every time I visit City of London.
Inside and above the front entrance to the Cathedral di Santa Maria del Fiore in Florence. The face of the clodk was painted by Paolo Uccello in 1433.
The hand of the clock (there is only one) marks the hours from sunset to the following sunset (which happens at XXIIII) and must be reset weekly because of the change in time of the sunset.

Well, vacation is over and it's time to get back to work. Thankfully I love my job so I don't dread it like a lot of people going back today - but I will miss spending as much time with my family and out with Napoleon as I've been able to do!!
I am really going to try to start taking pics of more random things (like this clock) for possible Getty selections. I really have been pleased with my sales through them the past six months and would like to step it up a notch but that depends on me shooting not only what I love (horses!) but being a little more creative.
Please don't feel like you have to comment on everything - it's really not necessary!
Wishing you all a good first day back to work if you've had off for the holidays like I have - an extra cup of coffee should help and hey - at least it's a short week!! :)
The Prague astronomical clock, or Prague orloj, is a medieval astronomical clock installed in 1410, making it the third-oldest astronomical clock in the world and the oldest one still working. The astronomical dial has a background that represents the standing Earth and sky, and surrounding it operates four main moving components: the zodiacal ring, an outer rotating ring, an icon representing the Sun, and an icon representing the Moon.
Another view of the iconic clock tower at the West Side Market. What a landmark in the bustling Ohio City neighborhood.

This is a Junghans ATO clock, which dates back to the early 1950's or so. It is an electro-mechanical clock. There is a curved magnetized rod attached to the bottom of the pendulum. A solenoid coil, on the left, is briefly energized when the escapement closes a switch. The energized coil generates a magnetic field, which pulls the pendulum to the left.
The clock has a glass case, which is removed for this photo.
With the sun setting and a 90 minute drive back home ahead of me, Matthew, and our ride, we were told we had until 7:30 for this train to leave before we had to get in the car to head north. Imagine our luck - luck that does not usually follow me around - when at 7:29 IAS BICB throttles up to depart Blue Island.

Ok...funny story...while shooting this collage of clocks, I went into the kitchen to see what time it was-out of habit I guess-lol. Major blonde moment, eh?!
Anyway, I love clocks! I have at least one in every room! My six year old only knows how to tell time on these old school clocks, not digital. I guess I am someone who likes to know what time it is. I like to be on somewhat of a schedule. Even when I was a kid I loved and collected watches. Maybe its the constant tick tock tick tock that I love. Maybe its just my need to collect things. Whatever it is...I love clocks and the hope of more time.
