Nice shot, Nico. Very meaningful message in this. Something I try to remember every day. It definitely adds flavor to my life when I do. Best regards, -mikey

:-) Not sure that the Museum staff would have like that idea...? :-) Only kidding. Thanks, Elena. Regards jnconradie

Michael, I did take your recommendation to heart and posted a more tightly cropped version. (Plus a link to a wider view for those who may be interested.) Thanks again. Regards jnconradie

Thanks, Michael. It is a good suggestion. I was torn between retaining the upper fraction of the "hour hand" and letting go of the upper portions of the "Restless in Perpetuity" letters. I will try another crop tonight. Kind regards jnconradie

Well seen and ever so nicely photographed. I wonder if a crop just above the letters at the bottom of the frame might work better...mebbe it's just cause I'm nosey and want to know what those letters are. -Michael
