Outstanding
This photo was taken at night, so the clock is a little unclear. However, standing in front of it and watching it ticking forward, I still feel a little nervous. After all, no one can control time.

The Eucharist Clock is a large sculptural clock conceived and funded by John C. Taylor. The Eucharistic Clock was listed as an outstanding invention of 2008 by Time magazine and appeared in the Indian film "Father". The face of the Eucharistic Clock is a 24-karat gold-plated stainless steel disc approximately 1.5 meters (4.9 feet) in diameter. It has no hands and numerals, but displays the time via blue LEDs. The main visual feature of the clock is a metal sculpture of an insect resembling a grasshopper or locust, and time seems to be constantly being devoured by this monster. The inscription below the clock is in Latin 1 John 2:17: mundustransitetconcupiscentiaeius. As a work of public art, it reminds viewers in a dramatic way that time must pass.

The clock that eats time is also a very interesting little place. The clock facilities are relatively simple and the entire clock area is also a relatively wide area. This metal clock is also a display of performance art.
The Eucharistic Clock is also an interesting place in this city. The clock itself is also a very unique symbol. The whole area belongs to the university town, and there are many domestic students visiting.
The Holy Bell I went to see yesterday felt very strange. I used to see pictures. I only knew that this was moving when I arrived at the scene. The golden plate was lying on top of it and had been like aphids. The teeth were a bit like a mangled fish. The mouth was like eating.
The Holy Bell was conceived and designed by John Taylor and funded by millions of pounds and unveiled by physicist Stephen Hawking. This huge golden dragonfly is called "Chronophage" Time Devoters", intended to remind people that life is short. At this moment, walking Cambridge for more than half a day, we feel that the time is extremely long, and we are bored to see the chin and the eyes are twinkling.
Outside the library of the College of Cambridge, UK, there is a bell. Usually, tourists from all over the country stop to enjoy the clock, admire the sound, sigh the huge power of technology: this surface 24K gilt clock diameter is up to 1-2 meters, but can not see any pointers indicating time, only in its peripheral cloth 60 sharp teeth. At the top of the clock was a giant lizard, and the lizard's limbs grabbed one of the rows and passed a sharp tooth, which meant a second passed.
The Holy Body Bell is in the corner of King Street, Cambridge. The golden clock is designed and very creative. The bugs open their mouths once a minute. It feels like they are constantly devouring time, warning people of the preciousness of time, and don't waste time.
Really an interesting clock that attracted a lot of visitors. We sat outside the Cambridge mansion in the nearby corner and were fortunate to watch the clock pass for a while. If you want to take a photo, you need to be patient because sometimes it is a bit crowded so people can block the sidewalk and the road. But still very worth the wait.
