What Time Is It In..., a photo from Berlin, East

Photographer's Note

What Time Is It In…

Daylight Saving Time ended in Europe last night, but North America keeps using it until next weekend and of course there are many parts of the world which do not observe DST at all. So in order to help you find the right time again, here’s a clock that shows the time in 148 major cities around the globe. This Weltzeituhr (World Clock) is located at the public square of Alexanderplatz in central Berlin. The clock was completed in 1969.

Hi Lars,in fact in this week there are problems because different times to change the hour,surely this clock is uncorrect during these days talking about America..ehehe...nice idea to celebrate the changin hour day with this big and original watch of Berlin,perfect capture despite the dark light. Have a nice evening and thanks,Luciano

Hej Lars,
Det är en kul idé med en sådan här världsklocka, men vem behöver den egentligen? Kanske hjälpte den östtyskarna att fantisera sig ut i världen till städer de aldrig kunde resa till. Men som offentligt monument duger den ju lika bra som många konventionella statyer, speciellt med den eleganta sfären ovanpå.
Hälsningar,
Gert

Witaj Lars!

Good framing, colors and light.
Nice presentation.
Well done.
Good evening.

Hello Lars, a good idea to show this remarkable clock this weekend. I have never seen a world clock before, and this is a sight that would be a must if visiting Berlin.
In Plymouth city centre, we have a large sundial, nothing as grand as this!
In the sphere above, are the orbs supposed to be the planets?
Are the names of the cities illuminated from the interior of the giant cylinder?
Thanks for sharing, kind regards, Jean.

Hello Lars,
Well-known and popular place in Berlin.
I like fine details, good composition, wonderful colours and good quality.
Good work

Hi Lars,

The tight frame is putting the clock in evidence. The point of view is showing the details of the world clock. The light is giving good colours rendering. Have a nice dya.

Hello Lars, I see that we are in the same time zone (I knew about it of course). Now the hour zero on TE is 8 a.m. instead of 9. I have no special problem with it but I do not go to work. Most people do not like this change. When I went by Trans-Siberian in Russia, I passed a few time zones. But the railway stations clocks always show the Moscow time.
Excellent night shot.

Best regrads MAlgo

Hi Lars
A good one for day light saving and, of course we've just gone onto it a couple of weeks ago.
cheers

Hi Lars,
Good photo about the winter hour ... good quality and perfect light capture, interesting and well done, tfs.

Hello Lars,

This is one amazing timepiece but, more than that, it is a beautiful work of art!
I really like your tight crop, where attention is firmly focussed on the time piece, giving clear details of it. The limited colour palette seems to unite everything.

My warm regards,
Bev :-)

Hello Lars,
Pardon, what time is it in, again? oh,it's almost 21:15 pm time to go back to hotel, said your Father. :-)
I'm always find so fascinating to know the Time of the world when I see one in airport or hotel. A 'Weltzeituhr' like this one will do me fine. I'll just stood there watching the world as the 'Time Flying Away' from day to night.
I do like the Solar System above - amazing planet of Saturn in the clear blue sky.
Thanks for sharing this world 'clocks'.

lars

the view of left was almost showing the first brazilian hour in fernando de noronha island. a nice view of this structure so curious.
fortunately brazil put an end in the terrible "summer hour" I hated that because I was obligated to wake up earlier and to close the shop in a wrong hour and I had to work an hour more.
take care

Goedenavond Lars,

Een goede vraag **What Time Is It**
Dit is wel een heel ingenieus systeem.
Maar uw foto is zeker geslaagd, nu dat in ons beide landen het winter uur werd ingevoerd, zijn we weer bij het oude.
Dit is niet zo gemakkelijk om hiervan een geslaagd foto van te maken, maar u deed het weer.
Goed foto werk; bedankt.

Prettige avond verder,
John.

Hallo Lars,
Ik vind het steeds verbazend dat het in Galicia, het uiterste westen van Spanje even laat is als in Wenen of in Zuidoost-Italië.
De ene European heeft vroeg licht 's ochtends en de andere geniet van lange klare avonden.
Maar hoe laat is het nu op Mars???
Zonder heel functioneel te zijn, denk ik deze wereldklok heel wat kijklustigen lokt en het is altijd mooi om er een foto van te nemen.
Vele groeten, Paul

Lars, this world clock is an original idea. It shows the different time zones of the world. It surmonted by a beautiful sculpture reminding the planets. Fine colors, good sharpness, regards.

Hi Lars

Daylight saving started in Sydney & Melbourne last week and ends in March. But here in Brisbane there is no need for it as the sun still sets around 6 -> 6:30 pm. But 9:30 pm or later in Melbourne where it works well. Nice inclusion of the 2 clocks with excellent sharpness. Tfs!

Bonjour, cher ami Lars,
Heure d'hiver, heure d'été, comment retrouver ses petits !
Un très bon sujet d'actualité et très original.
Bravo !
Amitiés.
Philippe

Hi Lars,
a very interesting structure and posted at the very suitable time. It must be very difficult to keep it up to date since it does not look digital and some countries change the rules as well. I suspect some times may be off but it is the idea which counts here.
Great reportage,
M

macjake (96157) 2020-11-11 2:05

Hi Lars
now how come we havn't seen this on TE before, or maybe we have...its just strange because you'd think I would remember such a strange clock. So cool though, I like it, and to capture it at blue hour is even better. Does it light up a lot at night - do you know? fun shot, love it. cheers
