I made this clock in a very short amount of time. I collage the background and used rubber stamps and black ink for the numbers. I then restamped the numbers using Martha Stewarts glue pad and glue ink and followed that with black glitter. The edges of the wood are painted black too.
A clock made by my friend Brian Parkinson. It's ethernet enabled (http, ntp, osc). And it's for sale! For more info, check out this page.

This is the lower part of the astronomical clock.
In 1410, the astronomical clock was mounted on the south side of the tower, but it was not completed until later. The oldest part of the clock is the central astronomical-astrological part, based on the geocentric conception of the motions of the planets and it represents the common form of telling the time from that period.
Downtown Richmond is a great place to walk and take some shots. This clock tower sits in the square near some office buildings.
Gastown neighborhood, Vancouver

From Wikipedia:
Gastown was Vancouver's first downtown core and is named after "Gassy" Jack Deighton, a Yorkshire seaman, steamboat captain and barkeep who arrived in 1867 to open the area's first saloon. The town soon prospered as the site of Hastings Mill sawmill, seaport, and quickly became a general centre of trade and commerce on Burrard Inlet as well as a rough-and-rowdy resort for off-work loggers and fishermen as well as the crews and captains of the many sailing ships which came to Gastown or Moodyville, on the north side of the inlet (which was a dry town) to load logs and timber.
From Wikipedia:
Gastown's most famous landmark is the steam-powered clock on the corner of Cambie and Water Street. Built to cover a steam grate, part of Vancouver's distributed steam-heating system, the clock was built as a way to harness the steam and to prevent street people from sleeping on the spot in cold weather.
The Old Town Hall was established as a symbol of the town self-administration under the rule of King John of Luxembourg in 1338. A corner tower house in the Old Town Square became the seat of the town council. On the occasion of its alteration for the purposes of the town council house, a monumental prismatic quadrilateral tower was built on the place of an older tower, in the second half of the 14th century. The tower stands 69.5 metres high and also fulfilled the function of the town watch-tower.
In 1410, the astronomical clock was mounted on the south side of the tower, but it was not completed until later. The oldest part of the clock is the central astronomical-astrological part, based on the geocentric conception of the motions of the planets and it represents the common form of telling the time from that period.
