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.

Much more photography of Prague over several years, at http://www.fenichel.com/prague

Meanwhile, speaking of Czechia (Czech Republic ) ...
Yes, some "here" were speaking of Prague, & other cities that endured wars, some of which suffered irreparable losses & destruction

Prague is a still-beautiful city that was miraculously spared ruination by war, though occupied.
And they remember - as does Poland and other nearby countries. (Some of us far away but interested in history, too.)

Czechia has long been known for its art and architecture. Here's a look today. 🇺🇦 🕊. As ever, reflecting the zeitgeist. Of civilization,

Tired of waiting

Contrary to what many believe, patience is lost with age. In later life, waiting is not only tiring, it also makes you grumpy :-)
