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!

Splendid the photographs, very beautiful the strong blue, marvellous work.

Two great photos Sandy! I love clocks in towers that tell the right time! Thanks for the info about Grand Central Station too! :D
I enjoy watching the photos you post every time I visit. That is why we all chime in with our comments, isn't it?
I love the way you captured the clock looking through the branches!
Great composition on the first, good SWF shots.
Love the blue in that first photo, Sandy. It looks like "October's Bright Blue Weather"!
I love the second shot, how the trees make an "X" that is so cool. Have Easter!
Great pictures and I love the music..
Happy Easter!
I love those gorgeous pictures. Marvelous!!!
Well that's marvelous for sky WATCH :) Love these shots and the history. a very happy Easter to you.
Sandy you always come through with great pictures. I love that first one!
Nice!! Your site is a great viewing pleasure each time I visit :)
Happy Easter Weekend to you.
What vivid blue in the first shot! Nice capture.
oh I soooo love clocks and clocktowers are so charming they give a town such a homwtown feel.
Great pictures. I love the blue of the sky in the first one.
What a wonderful old building and clock tower.
Sandy....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!
A peaceful local!
Nice city, and romantic!

Wonderful pictures. Great sky. What a magnificent building and clock. What a splendid tower.
I love the first picture looking through the branches.. nice.
These are lovely shots - I particularly enjoy photos looking through the barren winter trees. Happy Easter to you! :D
Love when I can learn a little more "history" that is interesting like yours! Beautiful pics too!
the branches things are nice :)
I love the architecture of the buidling
Wonderful pictures with a nice tidbit of history to complement them. Thanks!
I love the lacing effect of the tree branches over the building. Very nice way to admire the architecture and look at the sky.
Great photos as always
Happy Easter to you
I prefer the blue sky, but I love both of the pictures! Thx for visiting me and um ...
Happy Easter!
The photos are very nice.
Such a contrast from our little world...that's what I love about blogging! I learn so much.
Hmmm. 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! ;-)
What a brilliant blue, and at just the right time. teehee MB
Oh, that first picture is amazing. Great shot.
Enjoy your Easter weekend.
Nice view and a beautiful blue sky.
Happy Easter.
wonderful photo! love everything about it!
Love the first one! Beautiful!!!
Happy Easter!
interesting facts about the clock at Grand Central. I live in New York but never knew that, thanks.
lovely 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!
Wonderful shots
Beautiful images. The opera house is a lovely building. I love the way you have shown it through the tree. Have a lovely Easter.
WOW - GORGEOUS shot through the tree branches.
Beautiful pictures. These views will be hardly visable through the leaves in a few weeks. I'll bet the chimes are beautiful too!

Love the first picture - beautiful.
Lovely clocks on towers! Lovely pictures at the exact moment!
tks 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?
Yes, 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. :-)
I think the clock towers are awesome! I wish we had those around here.
I wish you a very fantastic Easter Sandy.
Beautiful photo!!
Happy easter to you.
Very beautiful sky :-)
Wonderful clock tower.
I especially like that first one. The sky is so blue. Clock towers have so much character.
These are beautiful.
Lovely 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!
I LOVE them both! I love to see clocks like these! That BLUE sky in the first one is stunning!
Gorgeous pictures, Sandy!
Beautiful Skywatch photo. Thanks for sharing.
Time tells History.
Wonderful pictures, Sandy!
Happy 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.
Wow- such beautiful photos! The sky is gorgeous.
Love 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.
