In the 1920s, winter came earlier than it does today. Hildur Johnson, 18, who was Miss Brooklyn in the Atlantic City Beauty Pageant shortly before this picture was taken, stops the clock and restores it to Eastern Standard time, September 25, 1924.

June 10th 1903 saw the floral clock in Princes Street Gardens, Edinburgh, begin operation - driven by clockwork and with only an hour hand it was the first of its kind in the world.
Each year the planting scheme commemorates a special anniversary.In 1973, an electric motor was installed to keep the clock hands moving. Before then the clock’s mechanism had to be wound daily.
The clock is not only an immaculately tended floral display in the shape of a clock, it also tells the correct time. The planting schemes are designed by the Technical team in the Parks and Greenspace Service. The colourful displays take 30,000 plants, and a variety of flower and foliage plants are used in the designs. All are of a dwarf nature, suitable for carpet bedding, including annuals such as Lobelia, Pyrethrum and Golden Moss and succulents such as Echeveria and Sedum. The man we have to thank is Edinburgh Parks Superintendent, John McHattie.
The first photo is from 1903 the next are the clock through the years and the last pic is the clock theme this year marking the centenary of the famous ‘Flying Scotsman’ train.

thinking about writing a third act break up/make up scarian fic rn…… like where they both realise that they miss and love each other at the same time and their respective best friends have to tell the other “he just left to go find you” and when they finally meet back up it’s a passionate kiss and a breathless apology and confession and maybe it’s raining and maybe they don’t care and maybe they’re getting soaked but they’re laughing and they’re together……

Earlier in the day I was talking to my friend about how it’s crazy and invalidating when people assume that all bi people are ‘straight passing’ by virtue of being bi and then on our way home we had two guys yell ‘fuck the gays’ after us. Well when I’m right I’m right.
