This week, guest host Margaret also presents her take on the theme in her post, Clocks and Timepieces. and Leanne post is here Monochrome Madness

I was certain I wouldn’t stumble upon any clocks, yet how mistaken I was! My journey in search of clock’s began with a trip back to Riga, Latvia, where I recalled taking pictures of some remarkable timepieces and I was not wrong. After that, I made my way to Mustio Manor in Finland, which I recalled had an impressive collection of golden clocks with lots of details. I also discovered a few exquisite clocks at the Craigdarroch Castle Museum at Victoria Island, but I just posted one. These old house museums are fantastic venues that showcase some incredible clocks. In the end, I decided to set aside the vintage timepieces and conclude my collection with a row of more modern clocks from the bustling Flinder Street Station in Australia.
