Widescreen by request: Clockstreet Grunge Abstract
 |
Title: Clockstreet Grunge Abstract widescreen Description: Widescreen version of the fullscreen version, by request. Yes, it’s slightly different: I didn’t want to distort it for obvious reasons, and the ‘black bar’ effect is so 1997. Type: Widescreen: 1680×1050 Credits: Based off the picture by Alex Balan. Creative Commons licensed derivative.NOTE: Some people have pointed out that the roman numarals on the clock are wrong, specifically the 4. I thought so too, but a quick google found this: Wikipedia: Roman Numerals, IIII vs. IV: “Originally, it was common to use IIII to represent four, because IV represented the Roman god Jupiter, whose Latin name, IVPPITER, begins with IV. The subtractive notation (which uses IV instead of IIII) has become universally used only in modern times.” Also had to do with how many molds a clockmaker needed: with 4 as IIII, the clockmaker only needed 1 mold that could be broken apart in different ways to get all the numerals for the clock: VIIIIIX |
