i was driving through Philly and shot this out of my car window at a red light (William Penn standing on top)
I always enjoy this clock. Super colorful (Ektachrome E100VS, 35mm) The green really starts to show in this one, the film expired 01/2014 so that might be the reason despite it being frozen. Either way the green color shift is beautiful, and I've never been a fan of green shifts (ei: Provia 100F nuclear greens)
The clock tower was commissioned by the Amble War Memorial Committee. The designer was William Burton and the builders were a local firm called R Carse & Sons. The memorial was unveiled on 9 May 1925 by Major Vernon Merivale MC and initially dedicated to those who fell in World War I but later incorporated World War II as well.
This is a steam-powered clock which was built in 1977. Every 15 minutes it plays a version of the Westminster chimes from the whistles on top.

The highly architectural shape of this portico clock and its design elements were often found in the furnishings typical of the style that developed under Napoleon's reign, inspired by Percier and Fontaine's architectural drawings. Two piers support an entablature upon which is seated a figure of Cupid holding two chained lions: this motif is a reprise of the Romanesque house front, attesting to the decorator's antique tastes. The piers are decorated with a pair of gaines, each bearing a head characteristic of the prevailing craze for all things Egyptian. The Shiny metal ornaments emerging from a mat bronze ground are also from the period's decorative vocabulary: masks, animals driving chariots pulled by other animals and allegorical winged figures. The enamel clock face bears the name of the clockmaker, Jacquet, who was based in Gisors, Normandy.
I have now gotten into making clocks on second.
This is my first one.
its designed after a original Victorian Train Station clock.
I have tried to take pictures of this through the Club Acela doors (up the stairs) before. But now I see that the ticket office is the better vantage point. Since this clock is apparently an inherent part of the wall, I'm guessing it's been here a long time. It runs and shows the correct time.

Clock in the entry area of the R.C. Harris Water Treatment Plant, taken at Doors Open Toronto 2012. I believe the lights below it have something to do with water levels in the plant - anyone know more about it?

Just playing with my new lighting set-up. I have always been fascinated by this crystal clock and wanted to play with lighting glass (or crystal in this case)

No tourist around the clock, so I got an unobstructed view to photograph. Google it to see video of the clock in motion
We call this lovely flower a clock flower since it has a time, a minute, and a second hands just like a clock~ What do you call this lady?
Nice wander around sunny Chester this morning. Christo was there wrapping up the bridge gate and clock or it's being refurbished I guess.
Bought a programmed micro from www.clock-it.net/led_clocks/index.html and made up circuit board to hold the surface mount LED's.
This is a longer exposure, so quite a few of the LED's have lit up.
Update: check out the new clocks, with a manufactured board!
