The Human Clock

This is quite remarkable. A great idea by Craig Giffen. I was fascinated by the page for quite a while. (Yes, I'm fascinated by clocks as much as I am by the ancient Chinese, even though I hate them (clocks, not the Chinese), just as I hate the passage of time.)

The Human Clock is a clock made of images, thousands of images from all over the world, each of which has a time (hour:minute) inside it.

Then a software program selects one of the photos to show the local time to anyone connected. There's also a control panel that allows you to specify your time zone and choose between the digital and analog versions. Simple and effective.
The Human Clock has been around since 2001, so some of you may already be familiar with it, but the internet is huge. Craig Giffen is currently working on the Human Calendar.
