Hooghly Imambada

One of the famous Shiya Muslim pilgrimage centre in West Bengal.

Haji Mohammad Mahasin started the building in the year 1841. It was completed in the year 1861. The two storied building consisting ranged rooms having a wide entrance of main gate flanked by two giant towers and a clock at the centre of them.

But it is in quite shamble state and renovation work is needed urgently to restore this beauty to it' s pristine state.

This 19th century clock stands on the promenade, counting the minutes, and providing some seating, for the old, infirm, and hoody-clad ne'er-do-wells of the town.

This clock exists because way back when it was planned to open a public library in Morecambe. A councillor collected contributions from a variety of donors to build the library. The problem was the ongoing running of the place - it would require a halfpenny added to everyone's rates (local taxes) which was a step too far, apparently.

So, what to do with the accumulated donations? Easy - build a clock tower!

A lot of the Hudson River Towns have a town clock. A lot of them are the same.

And so the last hours of 2024 tiktok away.

Wishing everyone a Happy New Year 2025!

Today, Day 6 of my 20 day self challenge I take a pause from landscapes to share this image. Music often Hijacks our perception of time, making it longer, making it pass quicker, distorting and bending it in varied tempos, directlng the way we dance, celebrate or mourn. This violin Clock in the possession of a friend seems to express this better than words.

This shot has been done so many times in so many different ways, its hard to get an original take on it.

I recently saw a contact of mine upload his version and he boldly stated that 'you cant be a serious London photographer if you don't have this shot'.

I like to think i'm a serious London photographer.

Thank You for taking the time to look, your comments are greatly appreciated.

Town Hall clock

late evening sun at Abberley, It was a lot colder than it looks.

There is an interesting story about this folly if true. it was apparently built by the owner of Abberley Hall to spoil the claim of the owner of nearby Witley Court, that he owned everything that he could see from the Court.

Thank you for your comments & Fav.!

The clock tower is a prominent landmark in Trikala, Greece. The three-storey tower is located on a hill above the city; it is 87 ft (26.6 m) high. This modern clock tower was built in 1937 at a spot that was only 16 ft (5 m) away from the 1648 clock tower, broken down earlier.

the clock keeps ticking.

If you wander up the Hohen Markt street in Vienna’s centre at the top of the hour, expect to see a crowd of people peering up expectantly at an insurance building. The object of their fascination: a clock called the Ankeruhr.

Don't watch the clock;

Keep going.

We have had 'Wine O Clock' now it's 'Beer O Clock' On a school night too!!

Manial Palace and Museum (Prince Mohammed Ali Tewfik Palace), Manial, Cairo, Egypt (1899 - 1929).

The Moorish Style - Clock Tower lies between the Palace Reception and the Mosque. Its features were emphasized obviously in its geometry, openings and decorations.

The Clock style is also similar to Ramses Station Clock Tower except that the clock hand is snake shaped and not straight.

The famous “Binns Clock” on the corner of Princes Street and Hope Street in Edinburgh has been restored. The building used to be occupied by the department store Binns which was taken over by House of Fraser in 1953. The clock was installed in 1960 and was an iconic meeting place. The Frasers store closed in 2018 and the building is currently being converted into the Johnnie Walker Experience. The clock restoration work was carried out by the Cumbria Clock Company who also repaired the musical mechanism which plays traditional Scottish tunes every half an hour as the kilted figures march out of the clock. In keeping with tradition, the Highland figures will emerge to the musical accompaniment every seven and 37 minutes past the hour.

I caught the sun striking directly on the clock tower for a brief moment.

Tried out an edit to give it a little more mystery. Not sure I love this edit but always good to try new things.

Anyone remember telling the time as a child by blowing the seeds off a Dandelion clock.

William Penn's statue stands tall atop the clock tower overlooking the city.

Very quick grab shot at Flinders Street Station of the famous clocks in between trains on the way home.

I have taken this shot so many times in the past with mixed results, quite often dependent on the weather outside. If it is really sunny the contrasts of light and dark can be extreme leaving it really dark inside and too bright outside. In the past there was a long florists bench on the right adding another element to the shot, sadly this seems to not be there anymore.
