The clock mechanism has three main components – the astronomical dial, representing the position of the Sun and Moon in the sky and displaying various astronomical details; statues of various Catholic saints stand on either side of the clock; &quot;The Walk of the Apostles&quot;, an hourly show of moving Apostle figures and other sculptures, notably a figure of a skeleton that represents Death, striking the time; and a calendar dial with medallions representing the months. According to local legend, the city will suffer if the clock is neglected and its good operation is placed in jeopardy; a ghost, mounted on the clock, was supposed to nod its head in confirmation. According to the legend, the only hope was represented by a boy born on New Year's night.<br /> <br /> The oldest part of the Orloj, the mechanical clock and astronomical dial, dates back to 1410. Later, presumably around 1490, the calendar dial was added and the clock facade was decorated with gothic sculptures. A legend is that the clockmaker was blinded so he could not repeat his work.<br /> <br /> The four figures flanking the clock are set in motion on the hour, and represent four things that were despised at the time of the clock's making. From left to right, the first is vanity, represented by a figure admiring himself in a mirror. Next, the miser holding a bag of gold represents greed or usury. Across the clock stands Death, a skeleton that strikes the time upon the hour. Finally, there is a Turkish figure representing lust and earthly pleasures. On the hour, the skeleton rings the bell and immediately all other figures shake their heads side to side, signifying their unreadiness &quot;to go&quot;.<br /> <br /> Every hour of the day, statues of the Twelve Apostles with their attributes appear at the doorways above the clock. The left and right windows above the astronomical clock slide aside to reveal the Apostles as viewed from the square in this order: James the Less and Peter, Andrew and Matthias, Thaddeus and Philip, Thomas and Paul, John and Simon, Barnabas and Bartholomew. Unlike the list of the Twelve Apostles mentioned in the Bible, James the Great and Matthew are missing, replaced by Paul and Barnabas.&quot;</p> <p><a href="https://www.flickr.com/people/188866186@N07/">joelcpellicer</a> posted a photo:</p> <p><a href="https://www.flickr.com/photos/188866186@N07/55130972011/" title="Old Prague"><img src="https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/55130972011_51b89ed7cc_m.jpg" width="180" height="240" alt="Old Prague" /></a></p> <p>Tranvia de Praga</p> <p><a href="https://www.flickr.com/people/jimsawthat/">jimsawthat</a> posted a photo:</p> <p><a href="https://www.flickr.com/photos/jimsawthat/55131160445/" title="Prague Astronomical Clock #4"><img src="https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/55131160445_07bc2bd375_m.jpg" width="180" height="240" alt="Prague Astronomical Clock #4" /></a></p> <p>Prague, Czech Republic (Czechia)<br /> <br /> &quot;The Prague astronomical clock, or Prague Orloj, is a medieval astronomical clock attached to the Old Town Hall.<br /> <br /> Click here for a brief video describing the clock: <a href="https://video.search.yahoo.com/search/video;_ylt=AwrEsp5GkahpnK8E_y5XNyoA;_ylu=Y29sbwNiZjEEcG9zAzEEdnRpZAMEc2VjA3Nj?type=E210US0G91912&amp;p=prague+astronomical+clock+wikipedia&amp;fr=mcafee&amp;turl=https://tse3.mm.bing.net/th/id/OVP.44c2jF0vIfpq6R0JGl1jvwEkII?pid=Api&amp;w=296&amp;h=156&amp;c=7&amp;p=0&amp;rurl=https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EJb7smhqkVI&amp;tit=Prague%e2%80%99s+Astronomical+Clock+|+Where+Art+Meets+Science&amp;pos=11&amp;vid=db45c68947dc4996364caf911c83b32c&amp;sigr=1Lc71nMJ1Vz2&amp;sigt=RwgZo3D7kSU6&amp;sigi=MKS_ZOgqbhMj" rel="noreferrer nofollow">video.search.yahoo.com/search/video;_ylt=AwrEsp5GkahpnK8E...</a><br /> <br /> The Orloj is mounted on the southern wall of the city's Old Town Hall in the Old Town Square.

This one being in lovely light was hauled by CD Cargo 230 064 with a 6 wagon empty freight, fitting the viaduct well and offering a bit of a different angle.</p>
