    I love that added detail of the bones that rattle on the hour - thanks for mentioning that!

    Hey, can I get your permission to use this clock in my personal blog in a post about making a time capsule for kids? It is lovely. My husband is half-Czech, so he enjoys seeing Prague photos.

    I was wondering how I get permission to use this photo in a project I'm working on for my blog. Does the CC license grant me permission, or do I need to get it specifically? Sorry to be a pain--but don't want to steal your stuff.
