Time for another square month hosted by the lovely Becky. The photos don’t necessarily have to be of a timepiece, but are open to interpretation to reflect time in some way such as the passing of time, or sayings such as a stitch in time, time running away from you.
Starting off with an obvious one on Day One is this famous Astronomical clock (Prague Orloj) in Prague’s Staroměstské nám. The clock was first installed in 1410, making it the third-oldest astronomical clock in the world and the oldest one still operating.
The 608-year-old clock, a must-see for many tourists with its hourly moving display of the 12 apostles and other figures, has been recently renovated taking nine months to fix previous badly done repairs.
To join in with the Squares challenge please visit Becky for instructions. Remember the only proper rule is that the photo must be SQUARE.

TRAVEL WORDS 
I took some photos of that clock when I visited Prague. It is quite amazing to sit and watch the display of figures.
Best wishes, Pete. x
Me too!
Except I didn’t see them move!
I waited in the cafe opposite. 🙂
It’s a venerable old thing!
Very lovely old clock.
I love old clocks…I’m listening to one ticking right now, and in a moment it will chime….
That clock was under repair while we were in Prague last year, Jude, so the pictures I took had scaffolding all around. Great photo. I love that clock. 🙂
I must confess to not actually seeing anything moving when we were watching it! Maybe I was looking at the wrong parts!
Interesting! Maybe it still needed renovation after the renovation!
No,my visit was several years ago so before the renovation took place. Maybe it was already poorly!
Wow, now that’s a clock. What a timepiece to start with, you’ve set the bar high Jude 😁
I do appear to have several clocks in my collection!!
Likewise, been telling myself to find time alternatives!!
I’ve never been and I think I’ve left it too late , it seems to be a stag and hen destination now!
I think it is still worth a visit. It was known as a stag and hen place when we went, but saw no obvious signs. September might be a nice time.
What an amazing piece!
This one is a beauty and a great start to the challenge. Fancy something that old still working perfectly!
This is lovely. I do like an unusual clock. 🙂
