Gravity powered wall clock made by John Goldsmith about 1790.
No wires, batteries, keys or winding - just constant pull of gravity on the weight. And we think we invented renewable energy!
Newcastle upon Tyne. Quite popular on Flickr, I see it wasn't working today as I was there just after midday buying coffee supplies at Pumphrey's establishment.
Presumably the bell below the clock was? is? used to signal closing time at the market?
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.
孔乙己知道“茴”的N种写法，和此前辈不同的是：我们知道一个数字的N种写法，从1到12都伪装、变形、修饰了，我们将这种做法称为“婉约”。
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。

Welcome children of the Spring,
In your garbs of green and gold,
Lifting up your sun-crowned heads
On the verdant plain and wold.
As a bright and joyous troop
From the breast of earth ye came
Fair and lovely are your cheeks,
With sun-kisses all aflame.
In the dusty streets and lanes,
Where the lowly children play,
There as gentle friends ye smile,
Making brighter life's highway
Dewdrops and the morning sun,
Weave your garments fair and bright,
And we welcome you to-day
As the children of the light.
Children of the earth and sun.
We are slow to understand
All the richness of the gifts
Flowing from our Father's hand.
Were our vision clearer far,
In this sin-dimmed world of ours,
Would we not more thankful be
For the love that sends us flowers?
Welcome, early visitants,
With your sun-crowned golden hair,
With your message to our hearts
Of our Father's loving care.
Clock on the front of the St. Mark Church at 19230 W. 29th Street North in Colwich Kansas. Built in 1903-1908 it is home to the oldest Catholic parish in Sedgwick County. Much of the material for the new church came from the Wichita watch factory which never became operational at 415 W. Second. It was purchased in 1900 for $4,516.50 by the Catholic Diocese of Wichita and was torn down in 1901. The parishioners hauled usable material from the watch factory by horse or ox drawn cart and donated much of the labor on the construction.
The St. Mark Parish was settled by German Immigrants and the homily and confessions were said in German until the 1940's and World War II. German was even used in the school until the 1920's, when the state banned German from elementary schools because of the strong feelings after World War I.
NRIS #91000463. Added in 1991.
