Time x Square

Time for another square month hosted by the lovely Becky. The photos don’t necessarily have to be of a timepiece, but are open to interpretation to reflect time in some way, or sayings such as ‘the passing of time’, ‘a stitch in time’, or time running away from you.

Day 5 and a clock tower on the Coach House in Ludlow on Mill Street. This also featured in the Roofs challenge.

I loved this little building with its interesting windows and when it came up for sale I was quite interested in buying it, until I realised that a) it wasn’t big enough and b) it is very dark inside. Definitely got kerb appeal though!

Day Four and time for some history. Many of you know that I lived in lovely historical Ludlow (Shropshire) for five years before moving to Cornwall. Ludlow is a famous medieval town with many listed buildings as well as holding an excellent market several times a week.

This exquisite timber-framed house is from the 17th century.

Day Three and a variation on the theme. Family time. Appropriate for this time of year although I personally loathe travelling in December. The days are too short, the weather can be abysmal, the sun is low and often in your eyes when driving. Public transport is packed and even more of a shambles than normal.

So I shall stick with this lovely family of swans, daddy (the Cob in the foreground) making sure that nothing comes close to his little family.

Remaining in Prague for Day Two and two images of the marvellous Daliesque-like melting clocks. Time pouring away? Time slipping through your fingers?

Personally I love the little poached egg clock in the window and regret that I didn’t buy it at the time.

The Persistence of Memory: The iconography may refer to a dream that Dalí himself had experienced, and the clocks may symbolise the passing of time as one experiences it in sleep or the persistence of time in the eyes of the dreamer. Wikipedia

Time for another square month hosted by the lovely Becky. The photos don’t necessarily have to be of a timepiece, but are open to interpretation to reflect time in some way such as the passing of time, or sayings such as a stitch in time, time running away from you.

Starting off with an obvious one on Day One is this famous Astronomical clock (Prague Orloj) in Prague’s Staroměstské nám. The clock was first installed in 1410, making it the third-oldest astronomical clock in the world and the oldest one still operating.

The 608-year-old clock, a must-see for many tourists with its hourly moving display of the 12 apostles and other figures, has been recently renovated taking nine months to fix previous badly done repairs.
