Der Denver Clock Tower, offiziell bekannt als D&F Tower (Daniels & Fisher Tower), ist ein ikonisches historisches Wahrzeichen in Denver, Colorado. Er wurde 1911 als Teil des Daniels & Fisher Kaufhauses erbaut und war mit einer Höhe von 99 Metern (325 Fuß) das höchste Gebäude westlich des Mississippi zur damaligen Zeit. Das Design des Turms wurde von dem Campanile di San Marco in Venedig, Italien, inspiriert, und seine markante Silhouette macht ihn zu einem prägenden Element der Skyline von Denver. / The Denver Clock Tower, officially known as the D&F Tower (Daniels & Fisher Tower), is an iconic historical landmark in Denver, Colorado.

Time for another bit of drama.
This is the clocktower at Roath Park lake, Cardiff.
It's called the Scott Memorial, and was built in 1915.

I'm not usually a fan of overcooked HDR, but it just seemed to work for me.

Wikipedia: The Tour du Leughenaer is an octagonal tower 30m high in Dunkirk. Erected around 1450, this tower is the oldest monument in the city. It was built by Jacques Desfontaines, surrounded in the 18th century by a port surveillance platform, then made higher in 1814 to install a lighthouse. It has retained a large part of its 19th century inner workings. In 1995 it became the equivalent of a listed building.
La Tour du Leughenaer est une tour octogonale de 30 mètres de haut à Dunkerque. Érigée vers 1450, cette tour est le monument le plus ancien de la ville. Elle a été édifiée par Jacques Desfontaines, entourée au xviiie siècle d'une plate-forme de surveillance du port, puis rehaussée en 1814 pour y installer une lanterne de phare. Elle a conservé une grande partie de ses dispositifs techniques du xixe siècle. La Tour est classée Monument historique en 1995.
Wikipedia: English Heritage has listed the building of 1961 at Grade II for its architectural and historical importance.

Sunset with the clocktower, the landmark of Graz my hometown. The minutes and hour hands of the clock are swapped so that the big hand shows the hours and the small hand the minutes.

Autoracks shuffle through the night past the intermediates at mile 2.2 of the North Toronto Sub...the train would gradually ease to a stop for a restrictive signal at Leaside, presumably to wait for a westbound or due to Toronto Yard being unable to accept H17's consist.

The Bangunan Sultan Abdul Samad (BSAS) or Sultan Abdul Samad Building was built by the British during colonial times as their administrative HQ in Kuala Lumpur. After Malaya gained independence, it served as the courthouse. Before the Petronas Twin Towers were built, this served as the main landmark and symbol of the city, facing Merdeka or Independence Square. Now, after refurbishment, it is open to the public with exhibition rooms displaying the history and cuture of the city, with cafes and a shop too.
The sun rises on a cold December morning on the Hudson River waterfront as the annual NJ Transit "Railmen for Children" holiday charity train holds the depot on Track 8 waiting to head west for a round trip to Port Morris.
Leading the train is a pair of ex-CNJ GP40Ps with the 4109 recently being painted as a tribute to the Central Railroad of New Jersey.
