Last post about clocks. After this post, I need to go back to processing more photos before I can post again. Note that every photos you see on this blog is hand picked for a reason. It's because I find them so beautiful, meaningful, special that I can't bare to let them just remain in the darkness of my hard disc.
Some of these clock seems to capture a scene in time, a slice of life. Like this one with a balcony platform of people looking out from it.
Here is a zoom in view of the platform. Amazing piece!
A whole opera stage of a clock next? With three performers on top singing to you perhaps?
Back to the more European style clocks. All these screams Charles Dickens stories to me somehow! Lol.
Or the old man and the sea clock from Hemingway's classic?
A twin clock that reminds me of a chess competition clock :P
European Angels on clock.
And lastly, a magical luggage clock. I bet you could open up the case to find more fascinating things inside. But as a visitor, this was all we could view from the outside..... I bet all these clocks were some royal person's favourite pieces. I bet someone spend hours just looking at it, admiring it or even playing with it like a doll house. All these timepieces, they have seen so much in this palace. Yet their faces revealed no secrets, except the time that is slowly ticking by...... What a beauty time was, is, will be....
