This clock is in the restored dealership building next door to the restored Sinclair.
This was a very thoughtful gift for Christmas from one of my coworkers ... sitting at my desk now reminding me that it is always time to be out taking photographs :)))

The garden is now filled with dandelion clocks, though not the big, white, fluffy ones that we are used to. These are taller, with narrower stems and darker, courser seeds. I was struggling with the in-camera WB, and no matter what I did the seeds looked white like the normal dandelions, but they are closer to this warm, brown colour, much like they are after post processing.
Did you know that the word dandelion comes from the French 'dent de lion' meaning 'lion's tooth' in reference to the toothed leaves?
The clock tower is the official symbol of Izmir...it was built in 1901.
Thank you for your visit, kind comments and fave. Always greatly appreciated.*_^
There is a broken clock on a tree in the woods near where we live. I've been photographing it every couple of years. It's a timeless beauty.
he walks past. behind him, in the center of the clock, a child stands still. one of them is in a hurry. the other is not.
Suki watching and listening to our Grandfather Clock whirring and striking the hour.
My subjects these days are limited, just parts of the garden and my animals.
Anyway, Suki, my cat and my friend sticks with me wherever I am and this mono portrait is a fair reflection of her face and character
Taken for this week's Macro Mondays theme 'Timepieces'. The face of this small carriage clock is about 4 " in diameter. I liked the way that using a light source at the side threw the shadows of the hands across the face.
The most precious thing you can get from someone you love is their time.
It's not the words, it's not the flowers, it's not the gifts. It is the time.
Because that doesn't come back and what he gave to you is yours alone, no matter if it was an hour or a lifetime.

Ein Ausflug nach Wien
Alle, die keinen Urlaub machen können, mögen mich auf einer Runde durch Wien begleiten. Vorbei an den berühmten Sehenswürdigkeiten, aber vielleicht auch abseits Sehenswertes entdecken ...
... am Hohen Markt beim Haus der Helvetia Versicherung (vormals "Der Anker", daher der Name) in der Wiener Innenstadt. Die Ankeruhr ist eine brückenartige Verbindung von 10 Metern Länge zwischen zwei Gebäuden. Diese Spieluhr im Jugendstil ist eine Touristenattraktion. Sie wurde 1914 erstmals in Betrieb genommen. Jede Stunde wandern historische Persönlichkeiten vorbei und zur vollen Stunde ertönt ein Stundenschlag. Um 12 Uhr ziehen alle Figuren vorbei, jeweils begleitet von einem passenden Musikstück, früher aus Orgelpfeifen, heute als digitale Tonwiedergabe.
Auf meinem Fotos sieht man Kaiserin Maria Theresia und Franz Stephan von Lothringen.
Links unten in der Collage sieht man eine Tafel, auf der alle Persönlichkeiten und ihre Stunde aufgelistet werden.
Rechts unten sieht man die Unterseite der Uhr, mit Sphinxen und astrologischen Darstellungen. Die Brücke wird von vier Figuren gestützt - auf meinem Bild ist die Figur des Teufels abgebildet.
Wer sich das Spektakel um 12 Uhr Mittag kurz ansehen und -hören möchte: www.youtube.com/watch?v=GeNdvhfD-0U
A trip to Vienna
All those who cannot take a holiday may follow me on a tour through Vienna. Past the famous sights, but perhaps you will also discover sights worth seeing off the beaten track …
... at the Hoher Markt by the building of Helvetia Insurance building (formerly "Der Anker" - "The Anchor", hence the name) in Vienna's city centre. The Anker (anchor) clock is a bridge-like connection of 10 metres between two buildings. This Art Nouveau-style music clock is a tourist attraction. It was first put into operation in 1914. Every hour historical figures pass by and at the exact hour a chime sounds. At 12 o'clock, all the figures pass by, each accompanied by a suitable piece of music, formerly from organ pipes, today as digital sound reproduction.
In my photos you can see Empress Maria Theresa and Franz Stephan of Lorraine.
At the bottom left of the collage you can see a panel listing all the personalities and their hour.
At the bottom right you can see the underside of the clock, with sphinxes and astrological representations. The bridge is supported by four figures - in my picture the figure of the devil is shown. Anyone who would like to have a quick look and listen to the spectacle at 12 noon:
Budapest es sin lugar a dudas una de la capitales europeas mas bellas y su Parlamento asomado al Danubio da fe de ello.
Desde casi cualquier parte, y dependiendo de la hora, resulta siempre tan fotogénico que no es posible negarse a tomar una foto más.....
El Parlamento (en húngaro, Országház) es probablemente el edificio más conocido de Budapest. Es el centro de la legislatura húngara y otras instituciones, como la biblioteca del Parlamento. Se encuentra en el distrito V de la ciudad, junto al río Danubio, situándose la entrada principal en la plaza Kossuth.
El edificio fue construido entre 1884 y 1902, siguiendo los planos de Imre Steindl, que se quedó ciego unos meses antes de la inauguración. Es el mayor edificio del país, escenario de las reuniones de la Asamblea Nacional de Hungría y el segundo mayor parlamento del mundo detrás del de Rumanía. Es de estilo neogótico, aunque con algunas particularidades. (Wikipedia)
El Parlamento de Budapest está situado a orillas del Danubio, del lado de Pest, y es uno de los símbolos más importantes de la ciudad. La estructura cuenta con varios estilos arquitectónicos: se admiran períodos que se remontan al neogótico, neobarroco y neorromántico. El edificio se extiende por 268 metros a lo largo de la orilla este del Danubio, tiene un ancho de 123 metros y una altura de 96 metros. Esta última medida respeta el equilibrio entre la parte civil y religiosa de la ciudad, ya que la basílica de San Esteban alcanza la misma altura. El proyecto y la obra El Parlamento de Budapest fue construido en el siglo XIX como un palacio que representa la independencia alcanzada por los húngaros después de la época del imperio austrohúngaro, mientras que la gente de los magiares se había convertido ya en parte para crear la Transleitania. Los trabajos de construcción se iniciaron en 1885 y se completaron en 1904 siguiendo el proyecto del arquitecto húngaro Imre Steindl, que se inspiró en el Parlamento de Londres, en el barrio Westminster. Steindl utilizó componentes barrocos y renacentistas al realizar la prestigiosa escalera que conduce a la cúpula, mientras que las habitaciones están decoradas con obras de arte de artistas húngaros, como Mihály Munkácsy, Károly Lotz, Aladár Kriesch, Zsigmond Vajda, Béla Spányi y con majestuosos tapices. - www.budapest.org/es/parlamento-budapest/
