The first shot is the Thomaston Opera House. Below it is the factory that produced those Seth Thomas timepieces that put Connecticut on the map many moons ago. (The clock at Grand Central Station in New York City came from Thomaston.) No matter where you look in Thomaston, it seems there's a clock on a tower with the exact time!

ReplyDeleteSandy....I changed my Sky Watch on you! I'm posting "Rita" next week instead because I decided to put my cross at sunrise photo up in celebration of Easter. Just an FYI so you don't think you're seeing a double take next week!

I prefer the blue sky, but I love both of the pictures! Thx for visiting me and um ...
ReplyDeleteHappy Easter!
The photos are very nice.
ReplyDeleteSuch a contrast from our little world...that's what I love about blogging! I learn so much.
ReplyDeleteHmmm. A town governed by clocks on towers and in factories, one step beyond the usual clock at the side of the bed or in the kitchen! ;-)
ReplyDeleteWhat a brilliant blue, and at just the right time. teehee MB

interesting facts about the clock at Grand Central. I live in New York but never knew that, thanks.
ReplyDeletelovely shots.
So interesting and great angles too! My Mom has a Seth Thomas clock which is about 100 years old. She's had it worked on and it runs great. Thanks for sharing this!
ReplyDeleteWonderful shots
ReplyDeleteBeautiful images. The opera house is a lovely building. I love the way you have shown it through the tree. Have a lovely Easter.
ReplyDeleteWOW - GORGEOUS shot through the tree branches.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful pictures. These views will be hardly visable through the leaves in a few weeks. I'll bet the chimes are beautiful too!

ReplyDeletetks for comment on my first time on "Sky Watch Friday" post.
Happy Easter!
What's that song by Chicago? ... Does Anybody Really Know What Time It Is?
ReplyDeleteYes, the people of Thomaston!
Great pics. The first is especially atmosphereic !
Have a Happy Easter! As usual, I'm the last one in line being on Maui as I am. :-0 Have a wonderful Easter! I'll be on a loooong vacation so you won't see my posts for awhile....I really need to take a break from my blogging addiction. :-)
ReplyDeleteI think the clock towers are awesome! I wish we had those around here.
ReplyDeleteI wish you a very fantastic Easter Sandy.
Beautiful photo!!
ReplyDeleteHappy easter to you.
Very beautiful sky :-)
ReplyDeleteWonderful clock tower.
ReplyDeleteI especially like that first one. The sky is so blue. Clock towers have so much character.
ReplyDeleteThese are beautiful.
ReplyDeleteLovely pictures. I like towns with lots of clocks, it is always handy and I like being able to rely on them and know the ones that are stuck! I don't wear a watch as I just check on the time all the time but when you are out and about it's good to know a few fixed spots where you can keep an eye on it if you need to!
ReplyDeleteI LOVE them both! I love to see clocks like these! That BLUE sky in the first one is stunning!
ReplyDeleteGorgeous pictures, Sandy!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful Skywatch photo. Thanks for sharing.

ReplyDeleteHappy Easter!
Oh I remember the day I went there and got my Kit Kat Klock. It was a memorable day. The area has so much history. I'm so glad you give me the connections back to the good parts of Connecticut.
ReplyDeleteWow- such beautiful photos! The sky is gorgeous.
ReplyDeleteLove the photos showing the blue sky and tower Sandy. It's nice that the clocks are taken care of too and always show the right time. Very helpful for people catching trains from the station.
ReplyDeleteThanks for being here.
