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.

The Prague Astronomical Clock or Prague Orloj (Czech: Pražský orloj [praʒskiː ɔrlɔi]) is a medieval astronomical clock located in Prague, the capital of the Czech Republic, at 50°5′13.23″N 14°25′15.30″E / 50.0870083°N 14.420917°E / 50.0870083; 14.420917. The Orloj is mounted on the southern wall of Old Town City Hall in the Old Town Square and is a popular tourist attraction.
The Orloj is composed of three main components: the astronomical dial, representing the position of the Sun and Moon in the sky and displaying various astronomical details; "The Walk of the Apostles", a clockwork hourly show of figures of the Apostles and other moving sculptures; and a calendar dial with medallions representing the months.
The oldest part of the Orloj, the mechanical clock and astronomical dial, dates back to 1410 when it was made by clockmaker Mikuláš of Kadaň and Jan Šindel, the latter a professor.
Later, presumably around 1490, the calendar dial was added and clock facade decorated with gothic sculptures.
In 1552 it was repaired by Jan Taborský, clock-master of Orloj, who also wrote a report on the clock where he mentioned Hanuš as maker of the clock. This was a mistake, and was corrected during the 20th century.
The Orloj stopped working many times in the centuries after 1552, and was repaired many times. Some speculate that the government purposely gouged out the original maker's eyes in order to prevent him from making a similar clock for another country. After this he died touching the clock, at which point the clock stopped working and remained unrepairable for a number of years. In the 17th century moving statues were added, and figures of the Apostles were added after major repair in 1865-1866.
The Orloj suffered heavy damage on May 7 and especially May 8, 1945, during the Prague Uprising, when Germans directed incendiary fire from several armored vehicles and an anti-aircraft gun to the south-west side of the Old Town Square in an effort to silence the provocative broadcasting initiated by the National Committee on May 5. The hall and nearby buildings burned along with the wooden sculptures on the Orloj and the calendar dial face made by Josef Mánes. The machinery was repaired, the wooden Apostles restored by Vojtěch Sucharda, and the Orloj started working again in 1948, but only after significant effort.
There exists a good deal of misinformation relating to the construction of the Orloj[citation needed]. For a long time it was believed that the Orloj was constructed in 1490 by clockmaster Jan Růže (also called Hanuš) and his assistant Jakub Čech. Another fictitious story involves the clockmaker Hanuš being blinded on the order of the Prague Councillors.
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

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
A reference to Peter Pan, the Croc that swallowed the clock and drove Captain Hook up the wall as the ticking clock inside the croc's belly, residing next to a half-chewed hand, reminded him of his mortality as well as his missing member.

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.
I found myself collecting nice quality clocks after three were gifted to me. This one was gifted to me by my folks who acquired it in Arizona. I want to say this looks like it was made circa late 1970s. There is exquisite artwork on it. The focus point in the photo is on the face which is not the greatest part of the clock. I say this because the artwork is the focal point of this clock when viewing it in person. The book titles are slightly out-of-focus. They are:
"The Pony Express"
"Journey to the West"
"The Hands of Time"
The clock box maker / artist, did not sign, or put his/her/their mark, on the clock box. The clock works are a cheap battery powered works (which I had to replace as the pendulum stopped swinging). The clock box, and artwork, are outstanding, and I would like to know more about it.
If someone would know who the clock box maker / artist, is/are, please advise.

A broken (and edited) clock found at my friends house. I took a shine to it...
Common name: Bengal Clock Vine, Bengal Trumpet Vine, Blue Sky Flower, Blue Sky Vine, Blue Trumpet Vine, Nil lata नील लता (Hindi), Tumakhlung (Gujarati), Nil lota (Bengali)
Botanical name: Thunbergia grandiflora
- [ (thun-BER-jee-uh) named after Carl Peter Thunberg, 19th century Swedish botanist; (gran-dih-FLOR-uh) with large flowers ]
Family: Acanthaceae (acanthus or ruellia family)
- [ (ah-kanth-AY-see-ay) from the Greek Ãikantha, meaning thorn, spine, or spike ]
Origin: India
The Blue Skyflower has been called by some "the most beautiful vine in the world". From a distance, this twining, flowering vine looks like a morning glory and even up close the flowers are quite similar. It is a vigorous evergreen vine that comes from northern India.
From the rope-like stems, that can reach to the top of large structure or even cover a good sized tree, emerge the dark green leaves that are leathery and have a distinctive elongated heart shape, 4-5 inches long and often have a slightly toothed margin. The beautiful 3 inch wide pale blue flowers are cup-like with pale yellow to cream blue striped centers.
This plant can be in bloom at nearly any time of year but will sulk during cold months. Plant in full sun or in a shaded location (this vine will find the sun!) The rampant growth of this vine can be somewhat controlled by giving or withholding irrigation - once established it needs only be watered occasionally.

This clock was restored at some point in time, and in the background notice the old water tower. Located near the bus station (main street), Wheeling, WV.
I found this new in its package. My step dad converted it from electric to battery operated so it doesn't have any pesky cord.

This is a wall clock which was my grandmother's - it's shaped like a giant pocket watch. I was just messing about with this, and the photos came out a bit unspectacular, with a massive blue tinge and not capturing the antiquey feel of the clock. So Photoshop to the rescue - I played around with the levels a lot, plus contrast, a little yellow Photo Filter and some elements of the pseudolomo technique posted in the Techniques group at

As promised, this is an updated version, but I'm still not sure I'm through with it, so comments would be great.
The laptop inside the frame and secured.
Two additional superglued Lego structures support it from the sides and long bolts stop it tipping back.
That's why the side blocks aren't symmetric -- they're positioned so the bolt ends protrude into a void where there are no keys.
