My Moor Pool outing of April 2018 included a handy visit to Bearwood for a catch-up on the restoration progress at Lightwoods House. I also had a quick look around the bus station, noting the presence of this elegant blue and gold clock.
The bottom part is an astronomical clock. More information at http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zytglogge
The Historic Clock Tower is situated near the site of the original Bertie's Landing Restaurant, the Victorian Gothic-style Clock Tower has always been an icon of the old docks and has become an important focal point in the Waterfront's recent urban design. This was the original Port Captain's Office completed in 1882.
On the second floor is a decorative mirror room, which enabled the Port Captain to have a view of all activities in the harbour. On the bottom floor is a tide-gauge mechanism used to check the level of the tide. Restoration of the Clock Tower was completed towards the end of 1997.
The Time Ball Tower (invented by Captain Robert Wauchope) is a signaling device in which a ball is dropped at a given time in order for ship masters to determine the error and rate of their chronometers whilst in harbour. The Time Ball Tower in the Waterfront was built in 1894 and is situated next the Harbour Engineer's former residence (Dock House). It remained in use for 40 years after which new technology led to it lying idle for 63 years before being restored and officially recommissioned in November 1997.

While they were out shopping, i decided to stroll around odori park with a map and camera. The snow was inconsistent and i was constantly waiting for blue skies. Unfortunately, wala pa rin. So overcast skies and flat colors pa rin, anyway, I paid 200yen to get inside the building.
The tower was built in 1878, and is all that remains of the drill hall of the former Sapporo Agricultural College (now Hokkaido University). The building was one of the earliest to be built in this city. The city itself was chosen as the administrative centre of Hokkaidō in 1868, which is the date currently recognised as the official birth of the city.
Currently, this is the oldest building standing in Sapporo. The clock was installed in July 1881 by E. Howard and Co. (headed by a co-founder of what would eventually become the Waltham Watch Company) of Boston, Massachusetts, USA.

September 8, 2014 - The clock tower dates from 1350 -1353 and was used as a lookout tower. Conciergerie was a former prison located on the Île de la Cité. It was part of Palais de la Cité or the royal palace and it is now the Palais de Justice. Marie Antoinette was held here before being paraded around the city and taken to the guillotine. Paris, France.

Chronulator 2.0 clock. built inside a custom stained cigar box. the wires are from an old pinball machine. I had purchased the old score wheels off ebay and it came with a bunch of old, cloth insulated wires attached to it. so I striped a few off. gives it that nice old look. better than the look of the new red and black wires.
Blessing ceramic quartz wall clock, made in Germany. The movement takes a C-cell battery, and is also made in Germany. Late 1970s or early 1980s. The slight green colouration on the face (mainly at the bottom) is in the original ceramic glaze.
The Dandelion Clock
A children's amusement in which the number of puffs needed to blow the filamentous achenes from a dandelion is supposed to tell the time.

David Wright, an 8 year old school boy from Bath, yesterday failed to arrive back into his school class on time after lunch due to the failure of a dandelion clock to give him an accurate reading.
"I had a feeling that I'd been out on the playing field for about an hour so I blew on the seed head to find out the time." said a distraught David from the detention room. "It told me it was still one o'clock so I stayed out a while longer until another dandelion informed me that it was two o'clock, so I went back to class, only to find myself getting a stiff telling off for playing truant".
The Secretary of State for the Environment, has expressed deep concern about the case and is to launch a public enquiry iinto whether global warming is to blame for the strange behaviour of the nation's flora, and to what extent the damage extends. "I'm just hoping that dock leaves will still be an effective remedy for nettle stings, and that the petal plucking "she-loves-me-she-loves-me-not" test contunues to provide effective relationship advice to lovestruck swains".

The dandelion clock is a very strange clock.
It doesn't say tick, and it doesn't say tock.
It hasn't a cuckoo. It hasn't a chime.
I don't think it can really tell me the time

Be silent child
when you dream
your thoughts are sweet
like dandelions
they grow beyond
a hollow stalk
and burst into a flower.
What seems a weed
to a passersby
is really all you have
of hope
and when you blow
its pearl globe
you'll live inside
the wind..

The famous Flower Clock at Bürkliplatz, presented to Zurich by Beyer in 1985, has been given a fascinating, new summer (2006) attire. To mark the 75th anniversary of Zurich’s Succulent Plant Collection, this summer (2006) the five-metre wide clock face is decorated with a wide variety of succulent plants.

My zoom is stronger than my flash, which is why this photo is grainy. Sorry!
this is the clock notice board outside the local Primary School. I knew that the clock was there but waited till Saturday, when the school was closed, before taking my camera up to the corner by the school. I am lucky that this clock notice board runs 24/7 not just in school hours. Not only did I get to find out what time of day it was but also when to buy school uniforms and the air temperature outside. Nice warm sunny winter's day!

Last iPhone picture for a while I hope. Long day ... out of town and my youngest wasn't feeling well (headache, fever, nausea). Decided we ought to drive home a day early when he started experiencing pain in his lower back. This clock was in the ER, where we spent several hours. Thank goodness it's just a viral thing and he just needs rest. This was the only pic I took today and after the 5 hour drive home it's all I have to give.
