Time Flies... - a photo on Flickriver

Time Flies...

...Like an Arrow

#MacroMondays
#Arrow

And what many different times this vintage pocket watch has seen... From its looks, it must be well over 100 years old but apart from a slight crack in the enamel of the dial (the blurry "verdigris"-green line next to the 2) it's still in excellent (and working!) condition.

The watch belongs to my mom (magrit k.); I borrowed it for this photo because the hour hand is more of a distinct arrow-shape than the more squiggled (nice word!), golden watch hands on my own (broken) vintage pocket watch and so was more suitable for the theme. The hands of my Mom's pocket watch are blued but, depending on the angle of light incidence, they display a lovely, pinkish-red shimmer which is what you see here.

It's a single shot that I illuminated with a natural light LED photo lamp from above and an LED lamp from the left.

HMM, Everyone, and have a nice week ahead!

P.S, I'm busy today and will catch up with you later!
