Nusretiye Clock Tower, aka Tophane Clock Tower, is a clock tower situated in Tophane, a neighborhood in Beyoğlu district of Istanbul, Turkey next to Nusretiye Mosque and Tophane Kiosk at the European waterfront of Bosphorus. It was ordered by the Ottoman sultan Abdülmecid I (1823-1861), and constructed by the renowned Ottoman Armenian architect Garabet Amira Balyan in 1848.
Designed in neo-classical style, the four-sided, three-story clock tower is 15 m high. A tughra of Sultan Abdülmecid I is put on above the entrance. The original clock and the clock face are in a state of disrepair. The clock tower along with Nusretiye Mosque and the Tophane Kiosk survived urban renewal and highway construction program mid 1950s. However, it remained within the customs warehouse area of Istanbul Port, cut off from the public access today.
There was this really cool clock I found online that I really wanted for Avi's room, but it was like $60 bucks. So I bought a $5.99 one from Rite Aid and refurbished it with light-resistant cardstock and a permanent marker and glue. Hooray!

Time Zone Clock is a real urban clock where people can read the time. The hours are exhibited in the circles at the top of each one of the 24 timelines. The lines are not straight because the time zone lines of the world often follow the boundaries of countries.
There are twenty six disks showing the twin cities of Coventry embedded into the plaza plus 174 capital cities of the world located in their appropriate time zone.
Designed by Francoise Schein, who said -'Coventry has an important history of clock and watch-making and a collection of sister cities from around the globe'.

Now take the clock away for repair, but I thing taking the clock tower is a bit of killer. Or was it that bad?
Katie wanted a photo of a dandelion clock, the ones she had were difficult to photoshop so she wanted one against a black background. Hence the photo in front of her dress, the perfect colour. Astrid had gone off with her dad down the track.

The Clock Tower in Hong Kong is a historical landmark located in Tsim Sha Tsui. It was built in 1915 and stands at 44 meters tall. It was once part of the Kowloon-Canton Railway terminus, and is now a popular tourist attraction in the city.
The clock tower was commissioned by the Amble War Memorial Committee. The designer was William Burton and the builders were a local firm called R Carse & Sons. The memorial was unveiled on 9 May 1925 by Major Vernon Merivale MC and initially dedicated to those who fell in World War I but later incorporated World War II as well.
Depot Island's clock tower is a massive pink structure in the middle of the shops. I decided to get close and look up to watch it disappear into the sky.
My HDR techniques (and the watermark!) are a mimicry of Klaus Herrmann's process (though not as awesomely detailed). Go take a look at his Flickr stream to see some of his great work, then go stop by his HDR cookbook to see how he did it. He's got a bunch of before/after pictures, explanations, how-to's, and some great videos there.
Good news! You can now find me on SmugMug !

Raymond Saunders' first steam clock was built in 1977 as a tourist attraction for the renovated Gastown district of Vancouver. Although the clock is now owned by the City of Vancouver, funding for the project was provided by contributions from local merchants, property owners, and private donors. Incorporating a steam engine and electric motors, the clock displays the time on four faces and announces the quarter hours with a whistle chime that plays the Westminster Quarters.

Fancy clock over the fireplace. What caught my eye though was the small leaping antelope - I've taken a photograph of the full size golden version which is on the corner of South Africa house, on Trafalgar Square. Sir Herbert Baker, who owned Owletts, designed the High Commission, and was an architect who worked a lot in South Africa and India (also re-designed the Bank of England).

August 30, 2025 - "The Victorian Gothic-style Clock Tower is an icon of the old Cape Town harbour. It was the original Port Captain's Office built in 1882. The pointed Gothic windows surrounds the structure with a clock, imported from Edinburgh, as a main feature. The red walls are the same colour as they were in the 1800's, having been carefully matched to scrapings of the original paint.
On the second floor there is a decorative mirror room which allowed the captain an overall view of harbour activities.
On the ground floor is a tidal gauge mechanism which was used to check the level of the tide for ships entering or leaving the docks.
The Clock Tower has begun to lean to one side, about 50 mm. This has since been arrested.
The tower has been a focal point in the Victoria & Alfred Waterfront's urban renewal."
