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

Many Happy Smiles 😊 on Saturday!

 

In my teenage years I wore this lucky charm every day. A pity the silver layer is worn off and the chain has become completely black.

Als teenager droeg ik dit geluks-bedeltje iedere dag. Jammer dat het zilveren laagje versleten is, het kettinkje is inmiddels helemaal zwart geworden.

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.

Deseo, deseo.... detener el tiempo.

 

Hay ocasiones en las que de pronto eres plenamente consciente de un momento de felicidad completa y en ese instante lo que siempre me habría gustado es poder detener el tiempo y saborearlo lentamente, porque la felicidad son eso, instantes que de pronto llegan y cuando quieres agarrarte a ellos, ya pertenecen a tus recuerdos.

 

Habría detenido el tiempo en tantos momentos.... persiguiendo el sol, ...su manita cogiendo mi dedo por primera vez, ...una llamada telefónica, ...al abrir una puerta, ...en aquella estación de trenes que fue testigo de tantas lágrimas y besos, ...la primera vez que vi moverse su pequeño bracito....

 

Sin embargo, el tiempo es algo que se escurre como un pez; yo por mi parte, espero seguir atesorando momentos en los que me habría gustado detener el tiempo.

Victoria Tower built 1847-48 to commemorate the opening of the adjacent Salisbury Dock Liverpool. Known also as the 'Dockers Clock' and is to be restored as part of a docks re-development scheme. Just behind the Tower is the site of Everton FCs new stadium at the former Bramley Moore Dock, at left in the far distance is the Seaforth Container Port.

The Town Clock, also sometimes called the Old Town Clock or Citadel Clock Tower, is one of the most recognizable landmarks in the historic urban core of Halifax, Nova Scotia.

According to Silky Smoove, this is the second largest clock in the world. I went to Wikipedia to verify, and the article said, "In the late 1960s, SILKY SMOOVE ROCKS!!"

Another rippled tweak of some fire sprinkler pipes in a local stairwell. I will literally try this ripple filter on ANY image!!! :D

This attractive clock stands in the downtown area of Dillwyn, Virginia. I haven't located any historical information about it, but it is located a short distance from the train station, which is partially visible behind the tree in the background.

Canary Wharf is so busy with bars and restaurants. The area has changed considerably over the lost few decades.

The train despatcher watches the clock as Regional Railways-liveried 37429 fills Chester's platform 4 canopy with diesel fumes as it awaits right away on 17th June 2000, heading an evening Holyhead-Crewe service.

This was the church clock in the market square at Nuremberg. I find these clocks to be spectacular with many having moving parts when the clock chimes. Unfortunately, they have put wire grating around the figures to prevent birds from roosting on them.
