Astronomical clock, Prague - a photo on Flickriver

Astronomical clock, Prague

            This is one of the dials of the Prague Astronomical Clock, which  dates from 1410. It's to be found on the southern wall of the Old City Hall. The dial's background represents the Earth and sky, and surrounding it are the zodiac ring, an outer rotating ring, an icon representing the sun, and another representing the moon. The four figures flanking the clock face are set in motion when the clock strikes on the hour.

It's the world's oldest astronomical clock still in operation. And it's in an absolutely beautiful setting.
