this is apparently the largest pendulum clock in the world. Situated within a building, its about 6 or 7 stories tall. Powered by a water well at the bottom. this shot turned out much better than i expected. the colours of the clock are featured well against the internal structure and windows of the office building.
I would have loved to get a closer look of the mechanics of this thing... I have an interest in clocks. Well, in clocks that don't tick on normal time and since everyone makes a clock roughly the same size that ticks on our normal time system, most clocks look the same on the inside. It's only really uniquely designed ones, or very large ones that break the mould. Great capture!

I'll post the water feature that powers the whole mechanism of the clock. plus one that will show how big it actually is. keep watch, i'll do it in the next couple of days

Daily Literature Deviations is a group that is dedicated to bringing literature to the forefront of the deviantArt community. We attempt to accomplish this by daily featuring Literature artists from around the community that deserve the recognition, but are not getting it.

In order to support the artists that we feature, we ask that you the news article as well as check out the individual pieces. We understand that each day you may not be able to check out each and every one of the pieces, everyone has their own things going on.
