I cleaned it up and replaced the plug. I discovered that there are two sockets inside with burned out bulbs, so I'll need to replace those.
Clock Tower
Popayan, Colombia, South America,
Catedral Basílica Nuestra Señora de la Asunción Church
Originally it was a straw hut, but in 1609 it was opened a second cathedral of mud and masonry. The current construction was consecrated in 1906 by Archbishop Manuel Antonio Arboleda, who brings it a magnificent European pipe organ. Its style is the neoclassical, and much of the building was restored because of the earthquake of 1983, including the great dome of 40 meters high, whose restoration was made according to guidelines of the original structure designed by the local artist Adolfo Dueñas.
The Prague Astronomical Clock, or Prague Orloj (Czech: Pražský orloj [praʃskiː orloj]), is a medieval astronomical clock located in Prague, the capital of the Czech Republic. The clock was first installed in 1410, making it the third-oldest astronomical clock in the world and the oldest one still working.
German made Seth Thomas mantel clock. All brass construction with glass panels at the sides and damn heavy !! The original 2 side glass panels were broken when i received the clock and I have to cut out the panels from a spare piece of glass to get them replaced.
This guy has got an unique movement among the battery powered design, a tunning fork. An ingenious design using an electronic circuit to generate a resonant frequency tuned to the natural frequency of the fork. When applied across the fork, it would then vibrate at a constant rate, the vibration is then translated into mechanical movement thru'a series of gear mechism whereby providing accurate time indication. Size: 8"(H) 6"(W) 2"(D)
This clock is made in the 60's
Only Time will tell and every clock tells a story....
The problem with clock is, once you got two they start to multiply..
It all started when I acquired my first clock a 1960's jap 7-day wall clock from a colleague of mine by the name of Wong Mun Lai, a clock collector

It was a non-working clock which I wanted to hang up for display. After a while, I felt something amiss. A clock is not a clock if it does'nt work! So I took it apart and do some fixing, to my surprise I managed to get it ticking again ! I was totally fascinated From there I got my second, third and so on....
My favourite has to be the 400 day clock
Amazing time piece and fun to repair Next in line is those of the electromechanical design type
I love the working principles
At the time of writing, my collection is still growing....but has grind to a halt as my interest is now focus on nature photography
Clock tower on the campus of the University of Arkansas, Fort Smith (UAFS). I've been wanting to shoot this for awhile but was hoping for better skies. Tower distortion caused by the awesome ultra-wide Canon 10-22 lens. Sometimes the distortion is annoying and sometimes it's just flippin' awesome.
A quartz wall clock with a 4th Royal Tank Regiment shield. This came my way in Berlin when attached to 2nd Regiment Royal Military Police. It had been sent to 2 RMP as an example of regimental souvenirs the firm produced.
4 RTR was originally formed in 1917 as D Battalion Tank Corps, later becoming 4th Royal Tank Regiment under the Armoured Corps. It was merged in 1993 with 1 RTR the title "4th" lapsing.

Salisbury is such a pleasant City. Unlike most cities nearly all the traffic is directed around the outskirts, and whilst this can make it difficult to find ones way off the ring road and into the car park, it is a lovely quiet place to walk around.
Fisherton Street was an important shopping street linking the railway station with the city centre. Dr Roberts' clock tower was built in 1893 as a memorial to his wife. It still functions today. It stands on the site of the County Gaol.

Something is off here... other than the fact that this clock is backwards.
According to the EXIF information for this photo, it was taken at 5:43 local time (I never changed my camera's clock when I entered Utah; does anybody think to do that in a different time zone?). The closest I can figure is that this wall clock is trying to tell me that it's about 5:37, so one of us is wrong (maybe in more than one way!).
When these folks are trying to be REALLY funny, they probably hang the clock upside down.
Seen in the Moab Diner, Moab, Utah. (Even the waitress couldn't figure it out for me.)

Most clocks and watches with radium paint no longer glow visibly because decades of radiation damage the zinc sulfide crystals in the paint, reducing the light output. However, I discovered that this radium clock I got from a friend still has a detectable glow. When you look at it closely with dark adapted eyes you can still see a very faint glow. The glow is also "noisy", you can see the separate flashes as alpha particles strike the zinc sulfite in the paint.
I made this picture with a long exposure time, under a blanket, to capture the faint light which is easily overwhelmed by weak light sources.
Medieval Marketplace
Welcome to the third project of my little medieval town - Medieval Marketplace!
In my marketplace you can see a tall tower with an astronomical clock on one side (a copy of the Old Town Hall Tower) and ordinary clocks on the other.
On the same square, life is in full swing! Here you will see a butcher chopping a piece of meat for the next customer - an old astronomer in a luxurious hat, and a fish merchant. A prosperous merchant with all kinds of trinkets, living in a house near the tower and unloading all sorts of supplies from the cart. A baker just baked another pretzel in his bakery. Well and of course the guards keeping order. :)
The project also includes 10 minifigures:
a jester fireman,
two guards,
a merchant of some supplies,
a fish merchant,
a baker,
a butcher,
two peasants,
a horse
The second floor of the houses and the roofs are easily removed. The whole model is fully playable. The tower is empty inside.
I was inspired to create this project by my trip to Prague last summer. Initially, I planned to create a project only for the Astronomical Clock (Old Town Hall Tower), but having built the tower, I decided to slightly change it and add a market square to it - in the end it’s a fantasy! :)
Also, when building this project, I was inspired by such clock towers as The Zytglogge and Ledbury Clock Tower, and a set of lego castle 10193 medieval marketplace.
I hope you enjoyed
