Greetings. My name is Draconichiaro. I live in Hamilton, Ontario, Canada, am training to become an industrial electrician, as an apprentice at a local steel mill.

I usually create and/or edit articles about local topics as well as topics that I know well (while citing credible sources, of course).

Here are all the images that I have uploaded to WMF sites. The vast majority of them are featured in articles. However, some are considered out of date, have been removed/replaced in the relevant articles, and are displayed here for archival purposes.

  The Clock Of The Charging Horsemen, also known as the Birks Clock, located at the Hamilton Farmers' Market in Hamilton, Ontario, Canada. Built in 1930, the clock was originally located on the Birks Building at the corner of King and James Streets. After several relocations, the clock's current and permanent home is now the Hamilton Farmers' Market. Every 15 minutes, the miniature knights joust as they rotate around the clock's base. The clock also chimes and plays music. The clock sounds very similar to a carillon
