Clocks, Clocks, Clocks

If you follow my work at all, you’ll notice that I like to photograph time pieces. I shoot time pieces of all kinds – street clocks, courthouse clocks, regular clocks, watches, hourglasses, and well, anything else that is used to note the passage of time. I originally intended to share all different types of time devices, but wow, I have so many! So, I decided that would share my street clock images in this post and share watches and courthouse clocks separately. I consider a street clock to be a clock that stands on its own. It is not attached to any structure.

Burlington

Keeton’s Jewelers was located in the Burlington area in Knoxville, TN. The building is now empty, but has been recently been renovated. The clock still stands. It is unknown where the term Burlington originated.

    Interesting, how old some of these towns are, and how varied they are now.

    Great subject for a photographer. There are so many fascinating clocks dotted around the world – some really old ones in Europe, of course. Even in my home town we have a nice free standing clock by the restored railway station: https://steven-heap.pixels.com/featured/old-station-building-in-morgantown-wv-steven-heap.html

    I need to find your article on watches next!

      Thank you, Steve! I do have quite a few images of some historic clocks in Europe. Maybe I’ll share those in a post soon! – Sharon
