Thanks George: I also liked the car as it shows that the crowd has even taken over the street and they are not moving...it is more important for them to watch the clock than the traffic.

Merci Phapio: Effectivement, cette photo montre très bien les foules qui s'accumulent devant les sites majeurs...

Merci Nino: Tu as bien regardé la photo car effectivement, ils semblent tous me regarder ou même prendre des photos de moi..mais, j'étais juste en haut de l'horloge donc je sais très bien que je n'étais pas la vedette!

I guess from the crowd that the clock must be new? What a neat shot with all those people blocking that one car.

Thanks justinep for the fav...

Thanks Rod & Inn. Much appreciated as always.

Richard: No, the clock is quite old but it is a marvel and people are interested in seeing the mechanical show where little figurine appears and others move so it attracts a crowd at the top of the hour, every hour. You can actually tell time by the flowing of the crowd. When you see lots of people gathering at the bottom of the tower, you know it is getting closed to the hour!

Thanks Marija. I see that you have been in Prague and have witnessed this strange phenomenon of the crowd gathering at the top of the hour...Glad you like my POV...I really could not resist!

Ms. Abitibi says:

Thanks Cheryl, Count to Three and Chuck for stopping by and your kind words.

Merci Guy. Je vois que tu continues à pratiquer ton français... je sais que ces gens ont l''air de me regarder mais vraiment ils regardaient l'horloge.

Thanks Sukanto for the multiple invites and for the fav. Always an honour.

Thanks Paul. Good to see you around as it has been a while. I guess you have been busy. They do seem to be looking at me but in reality they are looking at the astronomical clock which was located just below me...
