This clock (built 1911 - 1914) was created by the painter and sculptor Franz von Matsch and is a typical Art Nouveau design.
It forms a bridge between the two parts of the Anker Insurance Company‘s building. In the course of 12 hours, twelve historical figures or pairs of figures move across the bridge. Every day at noon, all of the figures parade, each accompanied by music from its era. During the Advent season daily at 5 and 6 p.m. Christmas Carols.
This clock stands on a lonely stretch of concrete near the shore in Jacob Riis Park in New York. The mechanism doesn't seem to work, so the time is only correct twice a day.

Margate's Jubilee Clock Tower was built to commemorate Queen Victoria's Golden Jubilee in 1887, although not completed until 1889. It had a Time Ball mechanism, mounted on a mast atop the tower, which was raised a few minutes before 1 pm each day and dropped at precisely 1 pm, thereby allowing residents, visitors and ships to know the exact time. This was, of course, in the days before wireless transmission of time signals. The Time Ball fell out of use many years ago, but following a suggestion by Arnold Schwartzman OBE RDI, a former Margate resident, Margate Civic Society raised funds to have the Time Ball repaired and brought back into use. This was successful, and a civic ceremony celebrated the restoration on 24 May 2014, Queen Victoria's birthday and the 125th anniversary of the Clock Tower's official opening. The Time Ball now drops at 1 pm each day and is one of only a handful of working time balls in the world. Photograph by Pamela Vallance. July 21st 2020.

The National Debt Clock was created by a New York real estate developer in 1989. The goal of Seymour Durst was to create awareness of the debt’s size and the speed with which it was growing. The clock was stopped in September of 2000 as government debt levels decreased because of budget surpluses. The national debt was 5,676,989,904,887. (73,733 / family.)
The clock was reactivated in 2002.

This is the same model clock many small towns have, but I liked being able to get a picture with nothing in the background except sky.
Silly, I know.
So I've finally discovered the wonders of shooting RAW, and I can't believe it took me this long. I'm not liking the fact that I still have to convert the photos to JPEG, but well...the benefits definitely outweigh the hassle.

A 1903 view of the Clock Tower in the centre of leicester, surrounded by new tram tracks being laid. The complex nature of the trackwork, supplied by Hadfields of Sheffield, is clearly evident.
