Clock radios fascinate me. For a technology item, people hold on to them much longer than anything else I can think of. I mean, when is the last time you've heard of someone say, "Man, I really should upgrade my clock radio?"
The Papal Basilica of St. Paul , commonly known as St. Paul's outside the Walls, is one of Rome's four ancient, Papal, major basilicas. The Basilica was founded by the Roman Emperor Constantine I over the burial place of St. Paul, where it was said that, after the Apostle's execution, his followers erected a memorial. Several buildings have been constructed here since the first basilica was constructed in the 4th century. The current building dates from 1840.

The four-faced clock in the Main Concourse at the center of Grand Central sits atop the main information booth. This is a perennial meeting place, and this clock is perhaps the most recognizable icon of Grand Central. Each of the four clock faces is made from opal, and Sotheby's and Christie's have estimated the value to be between $10 million and $20 million.
Supposedly the wisest of birds, this astute little owl found its perch only recently, though the Seth Thomas clock has been in the family since 1864. The bird's presence in this spot is a good reminder since wisdom takes time to acquire. My great grandfather bought the clock when he was seeing military service at Ft. Vancouver, WA, in that year - a pretty wise purchase for a lad of 19, I think. The statuette was cast in India, so I hope it brings me some of the wisdom of the sub-continent. The clock was in my grandmother's possession during my childhood. Then it went to my parents, and now, just this last week, it has come into my care. It's a treasured item and brings many memories.

In addition to showing the hours, the astrolabe dial of this clock was made to indicate the apparent motions of 23 stars in the northern hemisphere, the position of the sun and the moon in the zodiac, and the age and phase of the moon in its monthly cycle. The recessed ring encircling the chapter of hours gives the day of the year, saint's days, and other calendrical information for the period beginning in 1570 and ending in 1610.

Man on the street might just as well be...
So I am asked, "What's the picture of the clock for? Are you creating some sort of documentary of your life?" My response, "Yeah, something like that I suppose." Sheesh, I always thought I was just a simple camera nut, the question got me thinking, "just what is the goal here?"
