7.23am - rhythm of the time

Like a time keeper right now ... in the middle of the movement

I have passed this place a few times. Was thinking about some lightrail shot.

And I realized the idea today past 7 am in the morning. Like in the old times I checked the bus times at nearest bus stop. Bus nr.23 (scheduled at 7.23am) had a good timing and drove through the traffic lights right in time (didn' t stop on red lights, which was really great addition).

It' s a symbolic reminder for me. Showing me how it works when you have a time and you are not in hurry. Even you are less in stress, more calm and ready for some photo action.

It was easy blip for me in the morning. Just two shots and the second one was the right one. No, I was not looking for perfection.

Satisfied but I would like to be back somewhere in future and do some more creative image of that place. I need to think about that time by time. Good thing is that I should pass the place at any time when I' m going to/or from work.

Rhythm of the time ;-)

Canonmills Clock (1945)

The name is derived from the Canons of Holyrood and the mills on the Water of Leith. These mills ground corn for the bakers of Canongate who had to have their corn ground here by law! 

Erected in 1945, the clock at Canonmills was gifted by Archibald G Bryson, Session Clerk of St Mary’s Parish Church. The clock was designed by Leslie Grahame Thomson, with the movement made by James Ritchie and Sons, formerly of Leith Street and Broughton Street, now at Dundas Street. Designed in a late Art Deco style, it was to celebrate the allied victory in WWII.
