A table cuckoo clock built in the course of 24 hours as a contender for an exhibition.
It will be displayed among three other fan-built clocks in the LEGO House celebrating the 60th birthday of the LEGO brick.
One of the requirements was that the dials point to 1.58 which is the exact time the patent for the LEGO interlocking brick was registered 60 years ago.

Another shot of the 5th Avenue clock and the Flatiron building in New York. The clock was a landmark for the Fifth Avenue Building which is now the Toy Center, a complex of buildings that now are hub for toy manufacturers and distributors in the US.

百無聊賴，
神出鬼沒的蚊子成了狩獵物。
緊迫的盯伺謀殺，蚊子魂歸西天於我手臂上。
腫隆起的疙瘩丘陵，像是蚊子葬身的墓塚。
偶一抬首，瞥見圓鐘上的時針，
忽跳一格，頓止。
有種放大鏡效果，
時間真是匆匆得鬼鬼祟祟。

Thank you all who have shown interest in this image. So far it has been used on an Alzheimers Support web site, a personal scrapbook page and now will be used for a software logo. I will post a link to the software site once I have it.
1st Issue of Doomsday Clock got released today and man are things getting interesting. It was a lot of exposition for the first issue but I can't wait to see how the story unfolds over the next 11 issues. Highly recommend it!
A bit of a cliche to take a shot of the Astronomical Clock in Prague but I couldn't help myself.
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 of mathematics and astronomy at Charles University. The first recorded mention of the clock was on 9 October 1410. Later, presumably around 1490, the calendar dial was added and clock facade was decorated with gothic sculptures.
Formerly, it was believed that the Orloj was constructed in 1490 by clockmaster Jan Růže (also called Hanuš); this is now known to be a historical mistake. A legend, recounted by Alois Jirásek, has it that the clockmaker Hanuš was blinded on the order of the Prague Councillors so that he could not repeat his work; in turn, he broke down the clock, and no one was able to repair it for the next hundred years.
In 1552 it was repaired by Jan Taborský (ca1500–1572), master clockmaker of Klokotská Hora, who also wrote a report of the clock where he mentioned Hanuš as maker of this clock. This mistake, corrected by Zdeněk Horský, was due to an incorrect interpretation of records from the period. The mistaken assumption of Hanuš authorship is probably connected with his reconstruction of the Old Town Hall in years 1470-1473. The clock stopped working many times in the centuries after 1552, and was repaired many times.
In 1629 or 1659 wooden statues were added, and figures of the Apostles were added after major repair in 1787-1791. During the next major repair in years 1865-1866 the golden figure of a crowing rooster was added.
The Orloj suffered heavy damage on May 7 and especially May 8, 1945, during the Prague Uprising, when Germans set fire from several armoured 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. After significant effort, the machinery was repaired, the wooden Apostles restored by Vojtěch Sucharda, and the Orloj started working again in 1948.
The Orloj was last renovated in autumn 2005, when the statues and the lower ring were restored by Josef Manes. Wooden statues were covered with a net to keep pigeons away.
Wat Bowonniwet has been a major temple of patronage for the ruling Chakri dynasty. It is where many royal princes and kings studied and served their monkhood including King Bhumibol and his son who is the present king Vajiralongkorn. (edited from Wikipedia)

Clock-O'-Clay
In the cowslip pips I lie,
Hidden from the buzzing fly,
While green grass beneath me lies,
Pearled with dew like fishes' eyes,
Here I lie, a clock-o'-clay,
Waiting for the time o' day.
While the forest quakes surprise,
And the wild wind sobs and sighs,
My home rocks as like to fall,
On its pillar green and tall;
When the pattering rain drives by
Clock-o'-clay keeps warm and dry.
Day by day and night by night,
All the week I hide from sight;
In the cowslip pips I lie,
In the rain still warm and dry;
Day and night, and night and day,
Red, black-spotted clock-o'-clay.
My home shakes in wind and showers,
Pale green pillar topped with flowers,
Bending at the wild wind's breath,
Till I touch the grass beneath;
Here I live, lone clock-o'-clay,
Watching for the time of day.
John Clare (1793-1864)
