There was a time

that you could tell the time only from big tower clocks like this one on the Berlage exchange in Amsterdam (Traditionalist School style architecture). Nowadays they are even not incorporated anymore. Yes times are changing indeed.
The dutch verb under the clock says in a kind of free translation always wait for the right time to do business. One for Signs, Signs here.

  2. It's a beautiful clock. I remember that windmill from your header photo in Amsterdam, it's a lovely building.

  3. If an American with a bad cold would read this, it would sound like "Bide your Time" which, oddly has the same meaning! Beautiful on several levels...

  8. Wat een mooie heldere foto. Ik heb de klok ook wel eens gefotografeerd, vanaf het terras van de Bijenkorf. Deze foto is echt veel mooier.

Because of some annoying messages I have to check the posts sent to my blog. No anonymous remarks, sorry for that.
