I was given the idea to turn this into a clock by a reddit user lonelytax. So I put one together quickly.

Standing tall at 85m, Rajabai clock tower in South Mumbai, is now a part of Unesco World Heritage site. Designed with inspiration from Big Ben, this 140 year old tower clock was built by a wealthy broker, who also founded Bombay Stock Exchange. The local legend has it that his mother (Rajabai) was blind, and the periodic chimes of this clock tower helped her know the time without external help.

Nürnberg - Ringdreherin beim Schönen Brunnen am Hauptmarkt
Der Schöne Brunnen auf dem Nürnberger Hauptmarkt wurde 1385–1396 von Heinrich Beheim erbaut. Im Laufe der Geschichte wurde er mehrmals restauriert (erstmals 1822–24 durch den Bildhauer Jacob Daniel Burgschmiet) und wieder aufgebaut. Heute ist am Hauptmarkt eine knapp hundert Jahre alte Kopie aus Muschelkalk in farbenfroher Bemalung zu sehen.
Der Ring gilt als Glücksbringer, einer Sage nach wird mit Kindersegen bedacht, wer daran dreht.

This is the clock which gave me inspiration for my Macro Monday shot. One of my Flickr friends Di wanted to see it complete - so here it is just for you Di!!
Jens Olson's Astonomical Clock.
This clock is amazing. It shows local time in Copenhagen, solar time, the time at any location on earth, the time of sunrise and sunset both according to local time and actual solar time, lengths of day and night. The Gregorian calendar shows the year (6), the day of the week, date and month (7), local mean time - Central European time, the daily time 15° east of Greenwich in hours, minutes and seconds. A perpetual calendar consists of 5 dials, indicating: The Sunday letter (3), the epact (4), the sun circle (5), the indiction (6) and the moon circle (7). Furthermore, there is a calendar showing the 12 months of the year, the days and dates of the week, every moon phase as well as the calculated Easter Sunday - all other holidays according to Easter Sunday. The perpetual calendar are automatically set in motion every New Years Eve at midnight, to calculate the calendar for the following year. It runs for the next 2500 years.
The star map over Denmark and the slow precession of the motion of the earth's axis over 25.753 years.
The geocentrical orbit with the Earth as its centre. Here you can obtain knowledge of the sun's and moon's eclipses, the distance between the Earth and the Moon - the apse line and the knot line.
The solar system with the planets Mercury, Venus, the Earth, Mars, Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus and Neptune around the Sun.
The year (4) and number of days (5) according to the Julian time period which is 7.980 years.
It doesn't have a USB port.

The three-faced clock in the middle of Milngavie was an original feature of Copland & Lye department store on 165 Sauchiehall Street, Glasgow. The Clock was gifted to Milngavie when the town centre was pedestrianised. The initials of the department store "C & L" can be seen at the top of the clock.
This is the main dial on the medieval astronomical clock on the south side of Prague's Old Town Hall. It was installed in 1410 and is the oldest working clock of this kind.
The background represents the Earth and the local view of the sky. Within the blue circle directly at the centre is our planet, Earth.
Golden Roman numerals at the outer edge of blue circle are the timescale of a normal 24-hour day and indicate time in local Prague time, or Central European Time.
The smaller circular dial is movable and has the 12 signs of the zodiac. The golden sun on one of the hands shows the location of the Sun relative to the Earth's orbit around it. In this photo, it is on the symbol ♌︎ (for Leo); this image was captured on August 1st). The darker globe on another hand shows the phases of the Moon.
The four figures flanking this clock dial represent four things to avoid/fear. From left they are Vanity, Greed, Death, and Lust.

A traditional station clock suspended from part of the original 1850 roof at Newcastle, 16th December 2016. Newcastle Central station was opened by Queen Victoria in 1850 and along with Liverpool Lime Street they were the first to be designed and built in Britain using curved wrought iron ribs to support an arched roof. The two sections of the roof to the right are part of the 1894 station expansion.

This concept has probably been done a load of times before, but thought it would be a kind of fun idea do something with.
Also, I'm going travelling around Canada next week for a month, and I'm hoping to get some awesome concepts shot over there which I'm so excited for and can't wait to show you!

... clock in its original form
120 pictures in 2020/115 Ways to weigh or measure...
Normally, when we think of clocks, we think of time — seconds, minutes, hours. When we think of scales, we think of weight — ounces, grams, pounds. However, a new clock developed by physicists at the University of California, Berkeley is said to be the most fundamental clock ever created, combining a clock’s function with a scale’s, telling time in matter.

On the morning of December 6th, 1917, the most violent man-made explosion before the atomic bomb rocked Halifax harbour, in Nova Scotia, Canada, when a Norwegian vessel collided with a French munitions ship. The blast completely flattened everything within 800 meters, sent shrapnel flying for several kilometers, and started a tsunami that demolished whole communities. More than 1900 people died that day, and 10,000 suffered horrific, life-long injuries. Flying glass from windows throughout the city, blinded thousands as they stood watching the fire moments before the big explosion. The stories of both tragedy and heroism are plentiful, and are fascinating to learn about. The hands on the clock at city hall remain permanently fixed at 9:04:35 AM; stopped at the exact moment of the explosion.

SPRING O'CLOCK...

Dandelions are once again sprouting up all over, prompting the city, lawn-care specialists and amateur gardeners alike to again declare war on the broad leaf weed.
A dandelion is really many tiny flowers bunched together.
Each little flower becomes a seed...
We don't like them in our gardens.
AND YET: The dandelion plant is a beneficial weed, with a wide range of uses, and is even a good companion plant for gardening.
Its taproot will bring up nutrients for shallower-rooting plants, and add minerals and nitrogen to soil.
It is also known to attract pollinating insects and release ethylene gas which helps fruit to ripen.
Taraxacum seeds are an important food source for certain birds.
Great in a salad etc...
Enjoy and make the BEST of every day! Thank you, M, (*_*)

When I was about to start my piano practice this morning it went very dark and started to rain so I switched the light on.Our clocks went back an hour last night and this was the only one that didn't automatically change the time. The light reflected on it as if to remind me to change it manually.
