Tempus Fugit by ljmanning

Tempus Fugit

This lovely old clock belonged to my late mother-in-law. ‘Tempus Fugit’ is a Latin phrase that generally translates as “time flies”, which was coined by Virgil in the first century BC. To be precise, he wrote ‘fugit inreparabile tempus’ which translates as “it escapes, irretrievable time“. I find the original rather more compelling, but it’s not exactly snappy I guess. For the mundane - clocks challenge.
In other news (but still related to the photo), guess whose new lenses arrived today? It’s going to be a fun weekend.😄
What a beautiful clock

@thewatersphotos I got two! (January sale, end of year bonus, sometimes things come together) I got a 25mm f/1.7, and a 100-300mm f/4.0 - 5.6 zoom. My camera is mirrorless so they are equivalent to a 50mm and a 200-600mm on a full format. I'm so excited!

Love the composition and softness. Those sound like great lenses. So you must have an APC camera. Enjoy those lenses.

I like the fact that only a small part of the clock is shown with the quote. Many nice pictures with the newly installed lenses.

This is so elegant!

I made the collage challenge clocks because I figured that members who entered this mundane challenge might have a few more photos than this one to be able to make a decent collage. Would you be able to put together a collage for it?
