Knobs and Dials - Thematic Photography

Looking round our home this theme look as if it would be easy - but very mundane.

There was no need for me to get hot under the collar as - 

The temperature is controlled
Some kitchen knobs get regular use.

Guess who gets to clean the wood.
When it comes to food there is a choice between

Cooker
or

Microwave
Then there are controls which I find difficult to select on the

The washing machine
It's simpler if I take the hint to freshen up - 

In the shower
I can take the time to check the score at the Open Golf.

But that was the Ryder Cup at Oakland Hills in 2004
I can get a reminder each day to make better use of my time by a house in our village.

Carmi set the Knobs & Dials theme over at Thematic-photographic-414. Check it out for other contributions and/or have a go yourself.

Time - Thematic Photography

It's possible, well almost, to follow a time line through this post from when I saw Carmi's challenge to the time - you will know when it's up!

Time challenge
Bedside clock

Alarm & radio
Second alarm - just in case.


And lounge clocks just in case you are sleepwalking.

Carriage clock
Sideboard clock
Even the microwave reminds you when it's time to eat.

Zero + 15
This midsummer even Shakespeare would be hard put to find 'a bank whereon the wild

thyme 
grows.'

Before I outstay my welcome my phone reminds I need to get ready


One last check on my wrist,

The seconds tick by
and times gone by remind me that - 

1786 - Sundial
'Time is more sacred than gold.'

(Time has not stood still as the sundial show the time it is - in GMT, not the British Summer time shown by all those time machines we use.)

Now you need a Tardis to travel over to other time zones shared on the links at Carmi's Thematic-Photographic-375.
