Victoria Tower built 1847-48 to commemorate the opening of the adjacent Salisbury Dock Liverpool. Known also as the 'Dockers Clock' and is to be restored as part of a docks re-development scheme. Just behind the Tower is the site of Everton FCs new stadium at the former Bramley Moore Dock, at left in the far distance is the Seaforth Container Port.

As we approached Portland through Weymouth this was the clock tower through the windscreen. (and I had hoped to get to Portland before it rained!)

Prague, Czech Republic
Spring
Last day in Praha, Sunday morning ans we decided to take in the view point high above the Old Market. I love this view and have enjoyed it before, but on this day was even more special seeing my Aunt Mary and Uncle Frank get a chance to explore Prague from up above. Perfect morning for it too. <3
Go early to beat the crowds...kind of.

Alas, the Short Line DOES still use run thru power off of the NS quite a bit. One could complain, but it just makes the railroad all the more cooler to me.
Such is the case here. The railroad has spent the entirety of Friday night into early Saturday morning loading this 60C (which only came in the prior evening, mind you) and managed to load 85 gondolas with slabs. They've finally got their train properly air tested and are seen in the process of delivering the train to the NS, who will take these slabs to the AM/NS Calvert facility in Alabama. Yes, this is in fact a Short Line crew onboard the train, just using NS power on an NS train on NS trackage.
The train is framed by the very intricate plant at CP 503, better known as Hick Tower. The tower itself is to the right of the train, and is still manned to this day to control the pictured drawbridge to balance the extremely heavy rail traffic with the heavier-than-one-would-expect marine traffic on the Indiana Harbor Canal. The two bridges to the far left have been in this position for years and years, evidenced by no existing track to lead to, though I couldn't give much history of either. And finally, bordered on top by yet another piece of heavy steel, but I couldn't tell you what purpose it serves. Perhaps one of YOU can!
Finally, distant observers will notice the train veering off to the right and out of frame not far beyond the bridge. This is the train swinging off home rails - kind of. Again, what could be considered the Short Line's "Main" is just the leased Lake Subdivision from CSX. The Lake Sub was once the B&O's high speed passenger route into Chicago, but these days follows a 25mph maximum timetable speed, with the SCIH guys typically not going more than 15. How the mighty have fallen... but at least we still have something interesting to follow... black and white gevos or not!
Clock for Watch or Watches I was watching it, it's a real laid back one nearly sliding off the shelf.

The clock is from a 1920\30s austin car. Set in a slab of oak with some forged iron oak leaf and acorn embellishments
Mechanical clocks were invented in Western Europe in the medieval period and were first used in cathedrals and churches.
At the "British Museum" Rooms 38–39 trace their development from these earliest examples to complex and highly decorative domestic clocks, marine chronometers, mass-market designs and modern precision time-keeping.
Many of the hundreds of exhibits on display are working and can be heard ticking, striking and chiming the hours.
The story of the watch is also be traced from the early 16th century to modern quartz precision and radio control.
Worth a visit if you have the time.......
Candid shot Sidmouth, Devon, UK.
Wikipedia: The site has been the London terminus of services provided by the Great Western Railway and its successors since 1838. Much of the main line station dates from 1854 and was designed by Isambard Kingdom Brunel. It is the second busiest station in the United Kingdom
The Town Clock, also sometimes called the Old Town Clock or Citadel Clock Tower, is one of the most recognizable landmarks in the historic urban core of Halifax, Nova Scotia.
Dusted off the macro lens for this close up study of a dandelion clock. I never realised how much goes on in these little things.
The Prague Astronomical Clock or Prague Orloj is a medieval astronomical clock located in Prague, the capital of the Czech Republic. The Orloj is mounted on the southern wall of Old Town City Hall in the Old Town Square and is a popular tourist attraction.
The Orloj is composed of three main components: the astronomical dial, representing the position of the Sun and Moon in the sky and displaying various astronomical details; "The Walk of the Apostles", a clockwork hourly show of figures of the Apostles and other moving sculptures; and a calendar dial with medallions representing the months.

Stourbridge Town Clock
'It's probably the best-known landmark in the town and was even made here! Built in 1857, the grade two listed town clock had a full restoration in 2007. The column was built at the Stourbridge Ironworks and was designed by engineer William Milward. For many years the clock was painted green but for the renovation, the decision was made to change the colour to dark blue and gold, the colours of the Stourbridge coat of arms.' www.stourbridge.com/stourbridge_town_clock.htm
Anyone who has been to Glasgow’s Buchanan Bus Station will have spotted the striking Clyde Clock.
The cube shaped clock – perched on top of a pair of stainless steel legs, 20 feet high – reminds locals to run on time every single day.
Twelve years after its installment, though, the clock suddenly stopped – and it took the power of Glasgow’s people to get things ticking over again.

Il campanile della chiesa di San Michele e, a sinistra, quello di San Paolo. Sullo sfondo le Grigne. Ma la cosa più interessante è l'edificio a destra del campanile di San Michele, cioè l'edificio della prima San Michele, utilizzata fino al 1932. Ora fa parte del Collegio "Cardinal Ferrari" delle Suore Sacramentine.
