This is the Prague Castle from far away.
This is the medieval astronomical clock that is famous in Prague. It was impossible for me to even see how it can tell the current time, but it supposedly tells much more--the seasons, the time of the setting of the sun, the day, month and year. At the top of the hour, twelve apostles move through the windows at the top and the four statues representing vanity, greed, infidelity, and death, begin to move. The skeleton, representing death turns over the hourglass as to represent how time is running out for everyone. It was interesting.
