RENDER - The Clock Tower

Added 2025-07-10 04:00:05 +0000 UTC

I mentioned somewhere I might do occasional releases on Thursday. Lo, and Behold, it's Thursday. This is just a one-off of a silly idea I had that I couldn't figure out how to turn into a prose story with any there there. So, it's a render.

Now, I wonder if this is a Big Ben style clock tower and there are six other women looking out at three different city views day after day after day after...

Transcript

Layout - A central large image of an analog clock face placed on a brick wall. The hour and minute hands are brass statues of two women, the hour hand has her hands by her side while the minute hand has her hands over her head. The time reads 10:09. Along the left and right edge are eight small images of a plaza.

For each of the labeled time, the orientation of the plaza image is rotated to coincide with the orientation of the hour hand’s eyes. The details of the plaza images coincides with the time of day.

Captions for the plaza images: Daily View of the City Center as seen by the "Hour Hand" twin. 6 AM, 9 AM, 12 PM, 3 PM, 6 PM, 9 PM, 12 AM, 3 AM.

Caption on clock face: When the twins joined the clock tower restoration project, they thought they were joining the repairs team. Instead they had been assigned to the parts team. Given their perpetual rotations, both were glad they weren't moving as fast as a second hand would.
