My Pyg was a WIP FOR YEARS before he was finished, so I'm glad that I was finally able to finish him. :)
I decided that I didn't really love The Calculator's armor, and
I think the figure matches the character's classic apperance better without it, so I loaned it to my Vashta Nerada and gave him a good old-fashioned neck bracket instead.
Just playing with heads here . . .
Using almost 100% raw CMFs to make figures is always fun, especially when combining them with old parts. :O I figured Lord Death Man was a good way to use up my extra skeleton head and trick or treater figure, so I went for it. I liked the way he looked, and I kept him.
We all run on two clocks. One is the outside clock, which ticks away our decades and brings us ceaselessly to the dry season. The other is the inside clock, where you are your own timekeeper and determine your own chronology, your own internal weather and your own rate of living. Sometimes the inner clock runs itself out long before the outer one, and you see a dead man going through the motions of living.

Thank (in advance) to you all, very much my friends!

It's obviously not a Timex, and it may not have "taken a licking," but it is still ticking after all these years.
This is a gentleman's pocket watch that's been passed down through two, maybe three generations, and is now treasured by moi.
In a previous shot, I raised the issue of old vs new modes of timekeeping, analog vs digital, mechanical vs electronic, etc. Got some interesting responses. But I have to say this: holding a digital timekeeper cannot begin to compare with the solid feel of an oldie-goldie like this in one's hand.
BTW, if anyone is familiar with the significance of the hour and minute it's showing, comment away on that point.
This One Is INCREDIBLY Special to me! I hope you Love it as much as I do! Video Editing/ Sound Design/ Production/ Artist Thank You for Watching! Thank You So Much! The Response has been more incredible than I even could have imagined! Here’s a Link to Download the Song FREE: www.reverbnation.com/timekeeperInt/song/32994986-falling-...
I wanted to show the interesting case shape of this vintage Seiko – the snow-turning-to-rain effect over the watch is an added bonus.
It’s a Seiko 6300-8009 from August 1977. I had my watchman make it as water resistant as he could, although I wouldn’t go swimming in it as we kept the original crown in place.
While I love the case shape, which Seiko used on their high end King Seiko line at the time, the crown is a little on the small side for me. It’s not the easiest one to wind.
Nevertheless, she’s a fantastic timekeeper – gaining two seconds in 12 hours on the wrist or when left crown up. No complaints there!

The man is withstood the time. He is the one who fixes the old vintage wall-clocks. And his way of working is also the same as 30 yrs age, nothing has changed for him. He is a piece of history standing between us.

Big Ben est le surnom de la grande cloche de 13,5 tonnes se trouvant au sommet de l'Elizabeth Tower, la tour horloge du Palais de Westminster, qui est le siège du parlement britannique, à Londres. La tour a été nommée Elizabeth Tower à l'occasion du jubilé de diamant d'Elizabeth II en 2012. Auparavant, elle était simplement appelée « tour horloge ».
Seules les personnes qui habitent au Royaume-Uni peuvent visiter la tour de l'horloge, après avoir obtenu une autorisation.
Le bâtiment fait face à la Tamise, entre le Pont de Westminster et l'Abbaye de Westminster.
Big Ben is the nickname for the Great Bell of the clock at the north end of the Palace of Westminster in London and is usually extended to refer to both the clock and the clock tower as well. The tower is officially known as Elizabeth Tower, renamed to celebrate the Diamond Jubilee of Elizabeth II in 2012 ; previously, it was known simply as the Clock Tower.
When completed in 1859, it was, says clockmaker Ian Westworth, “the prince of timekeepers : the biggest, most accurate four-faced striking and chiming clock in the world.”

L'ombra dello gnomone, proiettata su linee ormai sbiadite, sussurra il lento passare del tempo. Ogni segno, tracciato con cura in un'epoca lontana, ora lotta contro l'entropia che lo consuma. Come l'orologio solare che si affida alla luce per misurare il giorno, anche noi siamo spettatori e protagonisti del tempo che scivola via. Eppure, proprio questa evanescenza dona un valore incalcolabile a ogni singolo istante, rendendolo duraturo nel suo ricordo. E la fotografia ci aiuta a combattere l'entropia del tempo e della memoria.
Istanbul, particolare di orologio solare antico, palazzo di Topkapi. Dal mio album ricordi.

Big Ben is the nickname for the Great Bell of the clock at the north end of the Palace of Westminster in London[1] and is usually extended to refer to both the clock and the clock tower.[2][3] The tower is officially Elizabeth Tower, renamed to celebrate the Diamond Jubilee of Elizabeth II in 2012; until then, it was known simply as the Clock Tower.
The tower was designed by Augustus Pugin in a neo-gothic style. When completed in 1859, it was, says horologist Ian Westworth, "the prince of timekeepers: the biggest, most accurate four-faced striking and chiming clock in the world".[4] It stands 315 feet (96 m) tall, and the climb from ground level to the belfry is 334 steps. Its base is square, measuring 39 feet (12 m) on each side. Dials of the clock are 23 feet (7.0 m) in diameter. On 31 May 2009, celebrations were held to mark the tower's 150th anniversary.[5]
Big Ben is the largest of five bells and weighs 13½ tons (13.76 tonnes). It was the largest bell in the United Kingdom for 23 years. The origin of the bell's nickname is open to question; it may be named after Sir Benjamin Hall, who oversaw its installation, or after boxing heavyweight champion Benjamin Caunt. Four quarter bells chime at 15, 30 and 45 minutes past the hour, and also just before Big Ben tolls on the hour. The clock still uses the original Victorian mechanism, but an electric motor is sometimes used as a backup.
A British cultural icon, recognised all over the world, the tower is one of the most prominent symbols of the United Kingdom and parliamentary democracy,[6] and it is often used in the establishing shot of films set in London.[7] The clock tower has been part of a Grade I listed building since 1970 and a UNESCO World Heritage Site since 1987.
On 21 August 2017, a four-year schedule of renovation works began on the tower, which are to include the addition of a lift. There are also plans to re-glaze and repaint its dials. With a few exceptions, such as New Year's Eve and Remembrance Sunday, the bells are to be silent until the work has been completed in the 2020s.

In creating this image, I sought to capture how time can dissolve into space. Through long exposure, I watched as the rigid moments melted into something more fluid, as if time itself was being diluted in the waters below. The pier stands as a temporal ruler, measuring nothing and everything at once. The industrial structure, usually so solid and definite, appears to float in this stretched reality - a paradox of permanence in impermanence.
The black and white treatment strips away the distractions of color, leaving only the essence of form and flow. The tower rises like a timekeeper in a world where time has lost its usual meaning. Each element - the geometric patterns of the walkway, the smooth mirror of the water, the infinite gradient of the sky - contributes to this sensation of temporal dissolution.
This image represents my exploration of how photography can not just capture a moment, but expand it, stretch it, until the very concept of a 'moment' becomes fluid and questionable. It's a meditation on duration, on the malleability of time when viewed through the lens of contemplation.

- Unfortunately the news are not the best but we can not give up Timekeeper. Sometimes I feel trapped in a labyrinth of doubts Athena ... without being able to help myself - Says Lady Of Elche with an air of apprehension as she stares at that strange old statue in the corner of the room.
- Not quite, Lady of Elche, my dear Hannya your coming here has a purpose, just like that statue of the Sphinx of Argus on your right side - Says Athena to her mystic sister in order to comfort her and goes on :
- Incidentally, on this mission, she can be a strong ally in this odyssey!

My fourth and final entry to Round 2 of this year's Iron Forge, featuring 14 minifigure heads in 3 different uses – 4 if you count the staff as its own use case.
I was trying to find a way to use the face side of a printed head, which felt like a challenge most entrants wouldn't attempt. I quickly came up with this staff and monster mouth while trying to find ways to cover the mouths of the heads while keeping the eyes visible. Turns out the faces are designed to be extremely recognizable as faces, so in the end I just used the minifigure eyes as... well, eyes. Which I know isn't particularly creative, but I think with the way I arranged them it maybe still counts for something? I just thought the mouth was too cool to abandon. For good measure I threw in some other uses for the heads, just in case. the goal here was also to demonstrate variety, since I don't think the Forge has seen any constraction builds so far.

St Vincent's Works was built as the office for John Lysaght's Iron Works. Essentially the same activities were carried on until 1995 when Blagdon Packaging left and moved to Avonmouth. It was unoccupied until Garrad Hassan and Partners bought it in August 2000 and set about renovating this Grade ll* Listed Building. Refurbishment began in January 2001 and was completed at the end of April. The building was in a poor state at the time, but did have a new roof. The refurbishment included the removal of much "modernisation", such as partitions and lowered ceilings, which had been introduced in the 1960's and 1970's.
Gaffad Hassan is a renewable engineering consultancy, speciallsing in wind, marine and solar energy. Garrad Hassan's occupancy of the building continues the engineering tradition of St Vincent's Works - it has been an engineering office continuously since it was built. Parts of the SS Great Britain and the Clifton Suspension Bridge were made in the works attached to the office, now also partly occupied by us.
Below is an extract from "Bristol: Last Age of the Merchant Princes" by Tim Mowl, which describes the architectural merits of the building and also provides a little history.
"Here, perhaps more than anywhere else in the city, is evidence that 19th Century merchants really were 'princely' in their vision and planning and that the term is not mere hyperbole. The continuity of round-arched design on Lysaght's site along Silverthorne Lane is striking. John Lysaght, a Bristol-educated Irishman, was given the original galvanising plant of only seven workers in 1857, but he soon expanded it to include earlier foundry buildings in a primitive Rundbogenstil and even two neo-Norinan gate lodges. The later office block was devised by [the architect Thomas Lysaght (John's brother) and the final design is by local architect] Milverton Drake with wages, timekeepers, muniments, stationers, country and roofing departments all arranged around the literally glittering octagon alight with Royal Doulton tiles. [Actually, they are Doulton, not Royal Doulton.] Quite what image Milverton Drake was attempting on the exterior it is hard to say. Free-form Norman might serve as a description but'Ruritanian Romanesque' catches its self-inflated grandiosity perfectly. Inside, there is a central mosaic floor emblazoned with Bristol's city arms. Italian grotesque work enriches the spandrels of the arches and snarling metal heads of panthers [actually they are wooden griffins!] lend an odd ferocity to the railings of the gallery. Below the tiled and glazed dome a painted frieze of golden ships ftom an Egyptian galley to a Bristol-built steam warship reminds the visitor that Lysaght's did have maritime interests in addition to its most profitable trade in corrugated iron sheets to the Australian outback.
Drake's entrance hall is intended to impress both workers and customers; it is faced in gleaming cream Doulton faience with panels of yellow and white relief patterned tiles, and green relief tiles on the staircase dado. There are assorted faience grotesques and, at gallery height, a majolica-glazed faience arcade with more grotesques in the spandrels. Above this, just below the lantern, in a painted frieze, a golden armada in full sail; looking down, the observer sees a mosaic floor with an ornate border and the city's coat of arms in the centre. It is an imposing space from all angles. (With thanks to the Tile and Architectural Ceramics Society for the detailed description of the tiles.)
On a more informal note, it is said that the landing is haunted by half a dog! There used to be a statue of Eros in the small, panelled room but, unfortunately, it was stolen some years ago. If you see it anywhere, let us know! The furniture was bought at the Enron bankruptcy sale.

I liked the light, shadows, and shapes.
From Wikipedia:
Bonshō (Japanese: 梵鐘, Buddhist bells), also known as tsurigane (釣り鐘, hanging bells) or ōgane (大鐘, great bells) are large bells found in Buddhist temples throughout Japan, used to summon the monks to prayer and to demarcate periods of time. Rather than containing a clapper, bonshō are struck from the outside, using either a handheld mallet or a beam suspended on ropes.
The bells are usually made from bronze, using a form of expendable mould casting. They are typically augmented and ornamented with a variety of bosses, raised bands and inscriptions. The earliest of these bells in Japan date to around 600 CE, although the general design is of much earlier Chinese origin and shares some of the features seen in ancient Chinese bells. The bells' penetrating and pervasive tone carries over considerable distances, which led to their use as signals, timekeepers and alarms. In addition, the sound of the bell is thought to have supernatural properties; it is believed, for example, that it can be heard in the underworld. The spiritual significance of bonshō means that they play an important role in Buddhist ceremonies, particularly the New Year and Bon festivals. Throughout Japanese history these bells have become associated with stories and legends, both fictional, such as the Benkei Bell of Mii-dera, and historical, such as the bell of Hōkō-ji. In modern times, bonshō have become symbols of world peace.
