Big clock is coming towards us at 0.1C. Seconds pointing hand is, say, green. From time it moves from 0 to 1 sec it will emmit 6 x 10 e14 wave crests. We will receive same number of crests in 0.9 sec, so it will look to us like that seconds pointing hand is moving every 0.9 sec, and being a little bluer. Lorentz factor for 0.1 C is 1.005, so 1/1.005 is 0.995. So time would appear to contract for object coming towards us. I know that this goes against SR, and that something is wrong with this picture, but I can't tell what.
