#PalacesAndGardens #TimePassages This is not from a palace, but it's an heirloom in my family. My dad made this grandfather clock, all from wood which was in our family homes, and now with one of my brothers. #EastCoastKin #Woodwork #Art #Clock #Macro #HumansOfBluesky #SensoryArt #Corners

This image shows the entirely wooden grandfather clock housed in a wooden cabinet with glass panels. It is about 6+ feet tall. and is made of oak.

Sundial, Professor's Garden, Jagiellonian University Kraków I'm pleased to report that the sun was working and on time #PalacesAndGardens #TimePassages #photography #sundial #HorasNonNumeroNisiSerenas #EastCoastKin

Unusual multi-faced sundial in the "Professor's Garden" at the Jagiellonian university in Kraków. The sundial is modern, the technology obviously as old as time. It contains corrections for time of year, but strangely not for daylight saving...

Always five to one... Unlike Thurber's frozen palace where it's always ten to five, in Pałac na Wispie it's always five to one. It was, thirteen years ago at 17:23, and still is... #PalacesAndGardens #TimePassages #photography #interior #portrait #humour #EastCoastKin

A palace interior with the blurred figure of a man walking, deep in thought. Behind him is an ornamental clock with its hands pointing symmetrically but totally inaccurately to five to one.

"Consider what delight it is to forget about a life full of solicitude" Entry to Wilanow Palace gardens, inviting us to forget about time and its demands #PalacesAndGardens #TimePassages #photography #landscape #travel #Latin #EastCoastKin

Latin quote from Horace inviting the visitor to the palace gardens to forget for a moment about life's demands

Fifteenth century astronomical clock, Gdánsk #PalacesAndGardens #TimePassages Strayed into St. Mary's church here, but otherwise on theme... Largest in the world at the time, and I guess a 500 year old clock is time passing also... #photography #clock #time #EastCoastKin

Built from 1464-1470, this huge astronomical clock has two main faces. One shows the sun, moon, moon phases and positions in the astrological star signs. The other has an exhaustive calendar of saints and other liturgical information.

Detail of the astronomical face. Wikipedia: " Adam and Eve ring the bell on the hour, and at noon, a procession appears that features Adam and Eve alongside the Three Kings, the Apostles, and Death."

‘Cause you and me baby
I saw you there
Straight away I knew
There's really no hiding
I'll tell you right now
What we're gonna do
We'll go collecting the days
Putting the moments away
You're on my mind like a
Song On The Radio
