Exploring the streets of Prague
summary
Short walking tour of Prague notes that the Prague Astronomical Clock dates to 1410 and that its blue face shows daylight hours while the golden hash marks represent one twelfth of the time between sunrise and sunset so the display shifts through the year, a concrete technical detail. The Charles Bridge carries a rumor of raw egg in the mortar and a history of public executions before becoming a selfie spot, ending with a historical high five.
