Nice old clock. Good subject. Imagine.... many many times this clock rang to waken that dear father up. So he went to work and made an effort to continue his family's life!

@Persian King: thank you my King, are you realy from Persia(IRAN)?
Kalimera again. This photo is very interesting. The washed out pale background, the b/w photo with the metallic frame and the clock almost make it look like a black and white photo, there is just a little hint of color, and this gives the picture a soft quality. I like it a lot.

@Wolfgang Prigge: mmm I liked the way you described it, yes it does look like a BW shot! Thank you for visiting WP, regards DK
nice simple shot.... the thermometer kind of breaks the shot out in juxtaposition with the heirlooms...wouldn't be the same photo witout it curiously....
@rverspirit: yes it wouldn´t, anyway I try not to move staff out of the way especialy in another house, regards D
Hallo Dimitrios. I like this photo very much. It´s a little corner but it speak to me about life and time. Big job. Thank you for the present

@Mikel: photography is about looking at life at an instant Mikel, you can stop time and enjoy the moment it was taken. I cherish old fotos in my home, they are of GREAT value to me, regards D
I just love old clocks, my father repaired clocks so I have a soft spot for them.

Very nice shot. Good atmosphere and well framed. I saw and commented on the following day's photo of the close up of the clock before coming to this one. Now I can see the background to that other one.
