That was trivial to find by searching for "Steam Clock". But I don't have the time to have a go myself, so I'll pretend I don't have the answer.

Gastown Steam Clock in Vancouver

Yes...mine are too easy.

Here's an easier one. Sorry for the small image size, but you get the idea.

Get your votes in early!

Here's a better view of the main building.

C'mon, CQ!!!! This one is for you and you're dropping the ball.

The Balsams Grand Resort Hotel

You got it, Borek! It's a wonderful place to spend a romantic weekend with your wife (though the air-fare might be a little daunting for you). I gave a hint for CQ, too! Remember "Get your votes in early."? This resort is located in Dixville Notch, NH, and has traditionally been the very first town to vote in national elections, with polls opening at midnight, and a voting booth for EVERY resident.

Borek

I must admit that most of your hints are completely useless to me - you refer to things that I have no idea about But that's hardly surprising taking into account cultural distance

Is turbo confessing to some PF intrigue?

CaptainQuasar

Oops, sorry turbo, I was afk.

turbo

OK! It's a great place to spend a weekend with one's own wife. I have never taken anybody but my own wife there. The food is incredible, and the insider-instructions are, too. At the Mt. Washington resort, the masseuses gave day-classes to skill attendants (and attendant clients) in massage therapy. Elevated room temperatures and pre-warmed almond oil can get your a lot of the way there.

CaptainQuasar

I guess the hotel is trying to arrange a 2nd Bretton Woods conference? The international financial crisis was just a really expensive advertising campaign, evidently.

[EDIT]Oops, never mind, I'm getting all the fancy hotels in Northern NH confused.

Whoo hoo! The Powder Tower in Prague?

CaptainQuasar

Well Borek's probably asleep or afk. I'll set another one up, I can be drawn and quartered if I was wrong about the Powder Tower, though a Google Image Search for that term seemed to confirm it.
