On behalf of #Vancouver, I apologize for inflicting this nonsense on the city of #Otaru

Vancouver residents HATE the #Gastown #SteamClock and I'm no exception. If steam clocks are so amazing, why did it take me 5 years to learn that #MetroVancouver has a second one?

A brown antique looking ornate clock with glass sides on the street in Vancouver. The time is 1.46pm. You can see the pendulums inside the body of the clock. On the left is a street light with a cluster of white globes and a hanging basked of red and orange flowers having from it. Behind that is a tree, and in the distance cars and a person. To the right is a six story building, with businesses on the bottom, another cluster of lamps and plants, as well as car. The building has a tone of windows. here are a couple bald heads and others of tourists looking through its glass panels. 

Extra Info:
Vancouver's Gastown Steam Clock is a whimsical landmark in Gastown, a historic neighborhood. It's a clock that, though it looks like an antique, was built in 1977 and powered by steam from the city's heating system. The clock's most recognizable feature is its steam whistle, which chimes the Westminster quarters every 15 minutes and emits a puff of steam on the hour. 

Steam Powered (but not really!)
The clock utilizes steam from the city's district heating system, driving a miniature steam engine inside. 

Westminster Chimes:
The clock sounds the Westminster quarters every 15 minutes, a common clock chime melody. 

Hour Signals:
On the hour, the clock whistles a cheerful tune and emits steam from all the pipes. 

Historical Context:
The clock was built in Gastown to cover a steam grate, part of the city's district heating system, and to make effective use of the steam. 

Tourist Attraction:
The Gastown Steam Clock is a popular tourist attraction, drawing crowds with its steam whistle and the charming display of steam.

The infamous steam clock in Gastown, Vancouver ๐Ÿ‡จ๐Ÿ‡ฆ. This was a must-do on my sightseeing list. Surprisingly smaller than I expected! ~ Taken with iPhone 12 Pro Max, 2024

In the #Gastown district of #Vancouver, photographers wait for the steam clock to play the "Westminster chime melody" on the hour. These two stole my spot so they earned the right to become "foreground interest" in my photo.

Turns out thereโ€™s a Leeโ€™s Donuts in Gastown now!

Took over the old Starbucks RIGHT next to the #Steamclock! They are going to make a fortune!
