Apostles of the Prague Orloj

Seeing the street art in Prague today, include tributes to the spirit of Ukrainians, I'm reminded of the beauty and history of Prague, one of the few medieval cities which escaped the ravishes of World Wars, and still gives testimony to the arts and architecture which have endured over time.

Here is a closeup of a few of of the apostles who come out on the hour as the astronomical clock (orloj) comes alive.
The clock also offers astronomical and Babylonian time, as statues represent the aspirations of the good and bad of civilization.

A favorite city I've visited several times, and still come across images I've not remembered, such as this.
