Jon Searles' photos with the keyword: astronomical clock

It seems that everyone who goes to Prague gets their picture or pictures of the Astronomical clock, or Orloj, so here's mine. :-) I actually have others, but this is my definitive, straight-on shot, taken at about 0730 on a weekday when nobody was available (or in some cases awake) to get in my way!!! This one was built gradually from 1410-1866, and in its current form it has, like many such clocks, robotic statues!!! :-)

This is the lower dial of the Prazky Orloj, giving the days of the year (if I'm reading it correctly), and noting religious holidays. I'll likely have more info on it in the future as I learn more about it, but for now, here it is.
