Sapporo Clock Tower is a wooden structure and tourist attraction, located at North 1 West 2, Chūō-ku, Sapporo, the largest city on the island of Hokkaidō, northern Japan.
This French clock was given to my grandparents as a wedding present in 1905. See the whole clock at: www.flickr.com/photos/9742303@N02/4954034840/

Spotted this clock today at the eleventh hour (pun intended) on the wall at The Dock, a seafood restaurant in Ogunquit, ME. I decided to make it my Clock #4 because it is more like the other three clocks I already uploaded. I will save the outdoor city clock for another challenge.
It is now safe to say that I am officially finished with ANSH83! This was a fun list of challenges!

Although a contraption at Stephansplatz in Hamburg is now thought to have predated them by two years, it has often been stated that the first traffic lights in Continental Europe were erected at Potsdamer Platz on 20 Oct 1924, in an attempt to control the sheer volume of traffic passing through. This traffic had grown to extraordinary levels. Even in 1900, more than 100,000 people, 20,000 cars, horse-drawn vehicles and handcarts, plus many thousands of bicycles, passed through the platz daily. By the 1920s the number of cars had soared to 60,000. The trams added greatly to this. The first four lines had appeared in 1880, rising to 13 by 1897, all horse-drawn, but after electrification between 1898 and 1902 the number of lines had soared to 35 by 1908 and ultimately reached 40, carrying between them 600 trams every hour, day and night. Services were run by a large number of companies, but in 1929 all these were unified into the Berliner Verkehrsbetriebe (Berlin Transport Services) company, which has operated Berlin’s trams ever since. Up to 11 policemen at a time had tried to control all this traffic, many of them standing on small wooden platforms positioned in key locations around the platz, but with varying success. The traffic lights, again from Siemens, were mounted on a five-sided 8.5 m high tower designed by Jean Kramer, shipped over from the United States, and actually modelled on a similar one erected on Fifth Avenue in New York in 1922, although towers like this had been a feature of New York since 1918. A solitary policeman sat in a small cabin at the top of the tower and switched the lights around manually, until they were eventually automated in 1926. Yet some officers still remained on the ground in case people did not pay any attention to the lights. The tower remained until c.1936, when it was removed to allow for excavations for the new S-Bahn line (on 26 September 1997, a replica of the tower was erected, just for show, close to its original location by Siemens, to celebrate the company's 150th anniversary. The replica was moved again on 29 September 2000, to the place where it stands today).

Also, I'd love to make this into a screensaver.
This clock tower was the main landmark in Dubai before the rapid development from 2000-2010 introduced other spectacular architectural feats such as Burj al-Arab, Burj Khalifa, Palm Jumeirah, just to name a few. Those who stayed in Dubai before knows that this roundabout used to be the centerpoint of this city.
This was the clock of my great-great-grandmother. It is a wonderful family heirloom. In the internal it is taken with a few little rubies. Other photos will follow.
