Back at Henry Tudor Lands. Couldn’t resist a picture of the clock. I used another great
texture by Gary.
Cathedral, Lund, Sweden
Horologium mirabile Lundense is a fifteenth-century astronomical clock in Lund Cathedral.
The astronomical clock of Lund Cathedral, the Horologium mirabile Lundense, was constructed c. 1380. After having been in storage since 1837, it was restored and put back in place in 1923.
On top of the clock there are two knights that mark the hours. The upper board of the clock is the astronomical clock. It shows, among other things, the different phases of the Moon and where the Sun sets.
The lower board of the clock is a calendar. With the help of it one can, among other things, calculate when different mobile religious holidays will fall, and on which weekday a certain date will fall. In the middle of the calendar stands Saint Lawrence, the Patron Saint of the Cathedral, and by his side the Symbols of the Four Evangelists. The present board of the clock goes from 1923 to 2123, after which a new one will be needed so that the clock can still be used.
Il tempo passa e spesso rimangono reidui non spesi come questa foto preparata e dimenticata da quasi un anno,

Diese Uhr steht in meiner Heimatstadt Wiener Neustadt. Wie oft stand ich als Kind dort und wartete auf die beiden Kuckucksfiguren ! Es ist schön zu sehen, dass sie immer noch funktioniert und die Herzen von Kindern und Erwachsenen gleichermaßen erfreut !
This clock is in my home town of Wiener Neustadt. How often I stood there as a child and waited for the two cuckoo figures ! It's nice to see that it still works and delights the hearts of children and adults alike !

This week's Flickr Macro Monday assignment had me going round and round -- specifically in circles. The group was tasked with photographing something that was circular, could be either single or multiple items, so long as it fit the circular theme.
There were many different directions to go with this one, but I finally "circled" back around to my original thought for the topic -- a painterly take on a small pocket watch.
HMM, and have a great week!

"Reflections of Time" is a non-HDR image that was processed using a combination of ACR, Photoshop, and Topaz Labs plugins (Adjust, Clean, Denoise, Glow, Impression, and Texture Effects).
Commissioned by Charles V in 1370 for the palace's northeast tower, it was designed by Henri de Vic and installed in 1371.
It is considered the first public clock in Paris, and was a symbol of the French monarchy's assertion of its regal functions and emancipation from the Church.
It is said to be the oldest clock in Paris.
Don't hold your breath - if a Cornishman says he will do it " Dreckly " it will get done , but who knows how long it will take . The term " Dreckly " is some what like Manyana is in Spainish .
The term "dreckly" means at some point in the future; soon, but not immediately. It is often used in a casual context to indicate that something will be done directly, but without a specific time frame, implying it may take a while. For example, someone might say, "I'll do it dreckly," meaning they will do it soon, but not right away.
So time plays a big part in this phrase - literally !!

Located on Eastgate Street, the Eastgate Clock stands as Chester’s most iconic landmark and the second most photographed clock globally, following Big Ben. Constructed in 1899 to commemorate Queen Victoria’s Diamond Jubilee of 1897, the clock was crafted by the renowned J.B. Joyce of Whitchurch, Shropshire.
Until 1974, Joyce dispatched a technician to Chester weekly to maintain the clock’s winding mechanism.
Eastgate and the Eastgate Clock occupy the site of the original entrance to the Deva Victrix fort. However, the original Roman gate was reconstructed during the Georgian era to facilitate access for coaches.

Rubik's clock has four turning dials and four up-down pins. The aim is to set all 18 clocks (front and back of puzzle) to point to 12 o'clock.
The corner clocks, unlike the other clocks, rotate on both sides of the puzzle together and cannot be operated independently. Thus the puzzle contains only 14 independent clocks.
Each pin is arranged such that if it is "in" on one side it is "out" on the other side of the puzzle. The state of each pin determines whether the adjacent corner clock is mechanically connected to the three other adjacent clocks on the front side or on the back side.
Since there are 14 independent clocks, with 12 settings each, there are a total of 12^{14}=1,283,918,464,548,864 possible combinations for the clock faces.
