, 1/400 f/6.3, ISO 100, hand held. Warsaw, Poland.

Although it might seem that the clock at the Palace of Culture and Science in Warsaw has always been there, it is the so-called millennium clock and was unveiled on New Year's Eve 2000. The diameter of each dial is 6.3 meters and it is the third largest clock in Europe and the third highest in the world (at the time of installation it was the highest in the world and is currently inferior to the clocks on Aburaj al-Bayt in Mecca and NTT DoCoMo Yoyogi Building in Tokyo). The hands, which are 3.54 meters and 2.7 meters long, are also impressive. The weight of each dial and hands is 450 kilograms. The shields are decorated with the Warsaw mermaid, the symbol of Warsaw. The heart of this machinery is also interesting because the whole thing is a small box controlled by a satellite signal that sets the time. As for the palace itself, the Abraj al-Bayt hotel complex built in Mecca between 2004 and 2011 kind of resembles it...*************Sebbene possa sembrare che l'orologio del Palazzo della Cultura e della Scienza di Varsavia sia sempre stato lì, si tratta del cosiddetto orologio del millennio ed è stato inaugurato la notte di Capodanno del 2000. Il diametro di ciascun quadrante è di 6,3 metri ed è il terzo orologio più grande d'Europa e il terzo più alto del mondo (al momento dell'installazione era il più alto del mondo ed è attualmente inferiore agli orologi di Aburaj al-Bayt in La Mecca e l'edificio NTT DoCoMo Yoyogi a Tokyo). Anche le lancette, lunghe 3,54 metri e 2,7 metri, sono impressionanti. Il peso di ciascun quadrante e delle lancette è di 450 chilogrammi. Gli scudi sono decorati con la sirena di Varsavia, il simbolo di Varsavia. Anche il cuore di questo macchinario è interessante perché il tutto è una piccola scatola controllata da un segnale satellitare che imposta l'ora. Per quanto riguarda il palazzo in sé, il complesso alberghiero Abraj al-Bayt, costruito alla Mecca tra il 2004 e il 2011, gli somiglia un po'...

Congratulations for how you know how to isolate decidedly significant expressions. The light is also beautiful, well managed, as well as the clean framing, without disturbing elements. Happy day, Franco
