CLOCKS GREAT AND SMALL/

Clocks on my travels.

I've noticed that clocks appear in a lot of my camera shots. So i've put together some pictures ,with the excuse that there is a clock in view. from
the last seven years. Some clocks are years old, i suppose outdoor clocks were
needed in public,because watches were for the rich. Now nearly everyone has
a mobile phone, which as the time in it. Switzerland is famous for personal clocks and watches, but now i
realise big outside clocks too. Digital clocks are now common place, sundials are ignored because they need sunshine. Anway, Enjoy. BERN SWITZERLAND.  --  Giant  clock  with astronomical  calendar.
