Header Competition # 35 - Tick Tock - Hear the Clock

The header theme this week by me and is "Tic Tock - Hear the Clock". Mac,TomDarlaGail's Man and I have a little contest to show a new theme header each week. Martha is on a break.

While travelling through Europe I saw so many great clocks that I wanted to share them with you. I have to thank my friend Pietro for showing me so many great Italian clocks.How do you like this one? It also tells the time of the year.
Here is a pair  of clocks on the same neat tower.

How about this pair of clocks, yes that is a castle behind the tower.

Check out the date on this Sun Dial, I know it doesn't tick but it does tell time.

You can see the one I chose above.

  13. That's one of the things I miss about Europe, when you didn't have your watch on, you could always tell time by looking at the clock on the town/city square!

    BTW I love the hotel sign in your header!
