It's a very ornate and beautiful clock. Maybe what's special about it is that the cuckoo is really a duck. That floats. Like wood. Lena's not a witch, is she?

Intricate carving to this wonderful Cuckoo clock. You could have waited a couple of minutes more 7.58pm and taken an action shot of the cuckoo appearing lol. love the animal carvings but most of all the Horn curling around the clockface. Nice capture Tara.

Oh, now I can see all the detail, this is truly amazing~~beautiful foto!!!

This is a special clock as it is not one of the cheaper ones I see for sale these days. I can't tell but does it have the little wheel that rotates with little people on it (or animals) in front of the cuckoo door? I used to have a small one that had a girl and a boy that rotated just below the cuckoo. They also told the weather by turning red or blue depending on hot or cold... Excellent capture with such soft and lovely detail.

Beautiful shot :)

How unique.....lots of interesting things on it.....thanks for sharing.

HAHA very cool! and I am suspecting sneak factor 5 perhaps? lol when I was a kid, we had a Cuckoo clock also. it was cool with the birds coming out of it. have a great week Tara! =] Oh! and fantastic capture I must say!

Beautiful shot

WOOW ! What a beautiful Cuckoo clock. A beautiful wood art. You capturede it very beautifully.

A fascinating object! I wonder if she minds sharing her posessions with the world!!!!!

Thats quite the clock... when I was a young lad my sister used to babysit me and I slept over her house and would hear a cookoo clock all through the night... I always managed to hear the midnight chime... great details in this image, Tara!

A perfect shot of this Koekoek klok I almost can hear and taste the Swiss _ Austrian Alps!! They are quite a special piece of handwork, but this one is very, very nice and captured very well!! Have a nice day, Henk

wonderful cuckoo clock:)

beautiful clock, my brother has one sort of similiar, drives me nuts though in the middle of the night when it goes off!

First, what a masterpiece this is, so much going on, it has to be a hunters clock thats for sure. Superb craftsmanship, the carvings are so intricate and detailed. I notice three weights, I have never seen one like this, I have seen them with two but never three, I wonder if this has anything to do with the something special. I could hazard a guess at it being worth a four figure sum in GBP(pounds sterling) I don't know how many $'s. I've been looking at it for 5 minitues or more Tara, if I was there I would be stroking it, just feeling the wood, but then I'm crazy like that.lol. My mother used to have one but that only had one weight, just like these though, shaped and carved like a pine cone. Also like this one it had the two figures just below the cuckoo door, that were supposed to tell what the weather was going to be, I think she came out if it was fine and he came out when it was stormy or wet. Superb capture, wonderful clarity and detail, your friend has the most beautiful Cuckoo Clock I have ever seen. Awesome. Bravo!!!!!

What a cool clock ! ....good one Tara S ~ Hugs ~

Superb shot!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

lol @ at the word cockoo next to your avatar..... neat pic my friend

Great photograph of an equally well-crafted piece of wood carving. Lovely. Mike

What a beautiful, ornate clock and capture, would love to know the story behind it. Very detailed capture!

Great shot. My mom had a cuckoo clock when we were kids, hung on her wall for ages. I have it now, in a bag somewhere, because it quit working. I really need to get it out.

Good thing your friend had dusted the furniture before you snuck off with your camera! :) Beautiful clock and image.

Hi Tara brings memories me grandma has a few wonderful capture sweet sunshine to you warm hug with love, Linda

i think what is special is your capture of it :o).superb clock and capture tara mick

Very well done. 5+.

Great colours my friend. Hugs

Oh such marvelous clock Tara... an amazing shot my friend!

Wow, these kind of clocks drive me absolutely cuckoo! Sneak factor at ultra high on this shot. Very good capture, my dear, including the elegant framework, but some subsequent postwork would have brought out the exquisite nooks and crannies in all their delicately carved glory. And how could Lela forget the particular curse that had been layed on this tick-tock? Perhaps something terrible was supposed to happen when the clock stuck the hour of eight.

What a beautiful clock. Fantastic image.
