Tempus fugit


Corny shot of the City Hall clock tower though the Public Safety Facility skyway colored-glass inset. I know the minute hand on the clock face is 13 feet long.  I had a replica in neon built for an exhibit honoring the 100th anniversay of the laying of the cornerstone in 1891. "Tempus fugit" is Latin for "time flees" which is a warning to not take anything for granted in this life, and a promise that the worst things pass, too.
