Prague is an amazing collection of little side streets like mazes crawling around in every nook and cranny. The town squares are immense and full of life, smiles,and smells of good food. But the most immense area is at the very top of the hill overlooking the town below, very good for protection, uh. This is the place where the King of Bohemia, Holy Roman Emperors and presidents of Czech roamed, where the Jewels are kept.At one small corner in the Old Town Square (below the Castle), there is Prague's Astronomical Clock dating from 1410 BC which is pictured here. Every hour, the clock has music chiming and one of the 12 apostles and other figures move from East to West daunting the audiences for centuries. People start gathering around 15 minutes to the hour waiting for the entertainment to begin. But tourists must be careful of their possessions as there are pick-pockets here, as in any big tourist city.
There are symbols of the zodiac, sun and moon elements as part of one of the world's greatest clock. And for my first video on a blog - how fitting that it should be of the clock. I am learning, aren't you proud. The video is only a minute or so - just click and be taken back to the time 600 hundred years ago. Then you will be back in 2011 shortly thereafter - a small trip like Starwars. ENJOY!!
Listen to the clock - "tick-tock".
No this is not Kesha's version Tik-Tok (ha-ha).(rn)
