The Ticking of the Clock


This time I headed off to Staroměstské Náměstí /Old Town Square in good ol' Prague. This is a glimpse of the Astronomical Clock in the Square. Standing in the middle of the square, you are surrounded by Astronomical Clock, St. Nicholas Church, and the Church of our Lady Before Tyn. This small opening is situated in a hustle and bustle of crowded narrow streets. Restaurants lie in front of the clock and the square is a setting for Christmas celebrations and small performances put up by individuals/groups.
It's going to be six 'o' clock soon. Everyone is gathering around the clock to raise their cameras and focus on the ringing clock tower as Jesus and his twelve disciples emerge from the two tiny doors above the clock. You catch a small view of them coming out.
