    It's about “Time”

    Here are 3 images on subject of Time.

    1. The Corpus Christi clock, Cambridge - and the time is 15:10:54 Hrs.

    Also known as the Grasshopper clock because atop the wheel sits the Chronophage (time eater). The mouth opens at 30 seconds past each minute, snapping shut when the minute is over. The clock has no hands or digital numbers; instead vernier slits are cut into the face. Three blue LED wheels (2,736 LEDs) are arranged behind the slits so that when the escape wheel moves, lights appear to dart in concentric circles and pause at the correct hour, minute and second.

    2. Prayer clocks
    These are on the wall under the entrance canopy of the recently built Cambridge Mosque . The centre clock displays the current time and those around it display the prayer times.

    3. Ready for time travel
    This was just for fun; to be a bit creative and to practice with Photoshop.

    Nice little project, David. It works well.

    Are you planning to add more clocks to your project?

    Thank you for yuur reply and suggestion.

    I entered these in a club competiition, but perhaps I should continue with this as project as you suggest. I am sure it would have plenty of scope for me to develop the idea.
