In 2006, I visited Prague in the Czech Republic and found the Astronomical clock located in the Old Town Square a wonderful subject to photograph.

 
The clock tower of Padova

The Astronomical clock in York Minster. This was placed in the north transept of the Minster in 1955 and was given to commemorate the 18,000 Allied Airmen flying from bases in Yorkshire and the north east, who lost their lives in World War 2. The edge of the large convex disc represents the horizon as seen from an aircraft directly over York and flying south. The sun is represented by a gold disc and rises and sets at the correct time for sunrise and sunset each day. Greenwich Mean Time is shown on the bottom right hand dial.

And another astronomical clock, this time from the Cathedral of St John the Baptist in Lyons. This is C16th although the top is later. It has a perpetual as well as a religious calendar and the figures come to life at noon, two and three o'clock.

Westerkerk is the church tower that Anne Frank listened to the bell from the attic.

As for a time picture - right now I could use some Island Time

When the sun comes up you go to the beach - When the sun goes down you go to bed.
In the words of the Chicago song:
Does anybody really know what time it is
Does anybody really care
If so I can't imagine why
