A dash trip to Prague today, but was lucky enough to be able to see the Astronomical Clock πŸ˜€. I am always in awe of these old clocks.

Have a good one. D.

P.S. it’s showing 7 am

An amazing clock!

Definitely a must visit when in Prague! And I need to get myself to Prague. Such a short drive from Dresden, yet, I've never made the trek. Here below is another Czech clock! Dalibor Farny!
