An inside look at the clock tower in Bangor, PA. The antique four-faced clock was manufactured by the E. Howard Clock Co. of Boston, Massachusetts, and was installed in the borough hall in 1907. In addition to being Bangor’s timepiece, the clock chimed a coded ring to alert the borough fire department as to the location of the fire. They also used the tower to hang the fire hoses after a fire to dry.
After a period of neglect when the chimes fell silent, the Slate Belt Heritage Center, under the guidance and care of Jay Albert, brought the historic clock back to life again in early 2000. The help of a generous personal donation helped Jay to single-handedly restore the faces. The clock mechanism was restored by David Morgan, former president of the Worldwide Clock Towers Association.

Urban exploration (UrbEx) isn't something I typically do a lot of, but a close friend invited me to come along with him once, and I decided to give it a try. It was definitely an interesting and exciting experience, and made for some fantastic photo opportunities. Not sure if this is something I'd do often, but it was fun and unique!
The location is an abandoned hospital in rural Pennsylvania, which has only been vacant a few years, but the damage inflicted by vandals, vagrants, and scrappers has taken a considerable toll on building's integrity. Combined with fire and weather damage, it looks like it's been abandoned for decades, rather than years, and it's undeniably spooky inside.
This clock will never tick again.
Prague Astronomical Clock or Pražský orloj is a medieval astronomical clock located in Prague, the capital of the Czech Republic.
The Orloj is composed of three main components: the astronomical dial, representing the position of the Sun and Moon in the sky and displaying various astronomical details; "The Walk of the Apostles", a clockwork hourly show of figures of the Apostles and other moving sculptures; and a calendar dial with medallions representing the months.
The clock show of It's A Small World nearing completion. The doors that show the time are in the process of opening.
Astronomical Clock detail. The outer ring gives the time in traditional Bohemian notation (beginning at sunset). The second ring of Roman Numerals gives the time in traditional notation. The inner ring shows the position of the sun and moon in the twelve sign of the Zodiac. Note figures of Vanity and Greed to the left and Death and the Turk to the right. These figures move on the hour and the golden cock crows.

Belfasts own leaning tower, the Albert clock was built between 1865 and 1870.
As its built on soft land, that has been reclaimed from the sea, the tower leans and only recently has had a restoration which included straighting it up a little.
This is an old fashioned, pulse clock which - many years ago - was driven from a master clock. The master clock has long been disconnected and I was hoping to be able to donate this to the Ipswich Transport Museum as they have a master clock. But, my employer, in their infinite wisdom, what to put this in their archive.
I went into the garden, the aim was to do some gardening, mow the lawn... do some weeding and pruning etc. But then I saw the dandelion clocks on the grass, and got distracted. It doesn't take much to distract me, in fact methinks I was perhaps looking for a distraction! I do like taking photos of these, and hadn't picked up the macro lens for a while, so it had to be done.
Alas the garden remains unkempt, but it has been mowed twice this year which is an improvement from last year. I will get round to it in Summer 2012 I am sure!
