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.

1008 J Street

 

Unique in Sacramento, this street clock originally featured a classical design and was located in front of Monk’s Jewelers on K Street, near the Crest Theater.

 

In the 1040’s, Mayes Jewelers moved the clock to J Street and outlined the clock face with neon lights and diamonds in a “Moderne” style. The clock remodel was one of the first uses of neon in Sacramento. Note the glass panels in the base of the clock which reveal how the clock functions.

I didn't like the last one and returned it for this one. I'm sure glad I did, because it's the most awesome clock ever.

Historic downtown Steilacoom, Washington has a nice, replica street clock which says "Freedom" on one side and "Peace" on the other.

 

Just beyond the buildings, a steep cliff leads down to the water. Pierce County operates a car ferry over to Fox Island. Further across Puget Sound, you can see the rising Olympic Mountains.

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.

See where this picture was taken. [?]

Still rather pristine, very little development of natural patina

The medieval astronomical clock adorns the southern wall of the Old Town City Hall in the Old Town Square. It announces every hour with 12 apostles passing by the window above the astronomical dial and with symbolic sculptures moving aside. That makes it a popular tourist attraction.
