The Flatiron Building, or Fuller Building, as it was originally called, is located at 175 Fifth Avenue in the borough of Manhattan, New York City and is considered to be a groundbreaking skyscraper. Upon completion in 1902 it was one of the tallest buildings in the city and the only skyscraper north of 14th Street. The building sits on a triangular island block formed by Fifth Avenue, Broadway and East 22nd Street, with 23rd Street grazing the triangle's northern (uptown) peak. It anchors the south (downtown) end of Madison Square, and the north (uptown) end of the Ladies' Mile Historic District.
The neighborhood around the building is called the Flatiron District after its signature building, which has become an icon of New York City. The building was designated a New York City landmark in 1966, was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1979, and designated a National Historic Landmark in 1989.

This is a "Before" shot, showing how the clock looked when I first bought it. I don't know what planet they found that "pendulum" on, but it certainly wasn't anywhere in the clock galaxy! Also, you can tell that one whole side of the base is missing which is why the clock is so tilted. (Also notice how dark the wood had become, most likely from fireplace soot or kitchen smoke. The clock had probably sat over someone's fireplace or kitchen stove for many years).

为什么LOG(55)是4？ 因为太Geek了。
In most commonly-used programming languages, including C, C++, SAS, MATLAB, Fortran, and BASIC, “log” or “LOG” refers to the natural logarithm.
大部分编程语言都使用LOG的写法表示以自然对数为底。

The Old Waller County Courthouse Clock and Bell - Hempstead, TX.
The clock tower provides a permanent home for the 1894 bell & clock which
were functional adornments to the old Waller County Texas Courthouse.
According to the historical society, the Seth Thomas clock and bell were
installed in the original courthouse in the summer of 1894. The bell was cast
at the McShane Bell Foundry in Baltimore. The mechanism operating the clock
was powered by 1,300 pounds of weights suspended from pulleys. In 1947, an
electric motor was installed to drive the clock and bell. The courthouse was
demolished in 1954, but the clock and the bell were saved. The bell continued
to tone above the current courthouse until the 1970s when the mechanism
controlling the bell broke and was not repaired. The bell was restored in 1991
and the clockworks were restored in the 1990s. The clock and bell tower
construction began in 2004, but sat idle until last year when Jackie Craver,
volunteer coordinator of the project for the Waller County Historical Society
volunteered to spearhead the fundraising effort to finish the project.
Thursday, December 23, 2010. By Joe Southern - Years after the project was
started and months of dormancy since the last improvements were made,
the Waller County Clock and Bell Tower has been bustling with activity in the
past week as the copper dome was mounted on top and the historic bell
refurbished and replaced. Workers with MCT Sheet Metal installed the lower
roof in the tower and then on Saturday hoisted the 3 ½-ton copper dome on top.
On Monday, the 1894 bell was returned to its spot under the dome. It took about
an hour of maneuvering for workers to get the 700-pound brass bell into place.
Tuesday morning had crews installing the clapper and the clockworks are due
to be installed in the next week or two. "Way to go Jackie Craver!!!!"

Welby Black Forest Cuckoo Clock
(what do i know from clocks?)
This one's been in a box for 20 years.
Lonesome no more!
The entire insides are being rebuilt (for a small fortune) as we speak. I spare no expense when it comes to driving myself, my cat and my upstairs neighbor insane every 15 minutes.

Taken on April 10, 2012, from Freedom Plaza; Canon Rebel G, Kodak Ultra Max 400, Canon 28-105mm USM lens, and the Kowa 2X Bell & Howell anamorphic.
Noticed there's some "pincushion" type distortion on the sides in my 35mm anamorphic shots, which I haven't seen in my digital ones. I like it.

The courthouse had been recently renovated, and this new clock was a very classy looking addition.
