The Town Clock in the High Street in Sheerness. As I was taking this, I noticed the "The Brittania" sign on the top eave of the green and cream building, I guess it was a pub at one time, I'd like to know the story.

The Prague astronomical clock, or Prague orloj, is a medieval astronomical clock located in Prague. The clock was first installed in 1410, making it the third-oldest astronomical clock in the world and the oldest one still working.
The Orloj is mounted on the southern wall of Old Town Hall in the Old Town Square. The clock mechanism itself is composed of three main components: the astronomical dial, representing the position of the Sun and Moon in the sky and displaying various astronomical details; "The Walk of the Apostles", a clockwork hourly show of figures of the Apostles and other moving sculptures—notably a figure of Death (represented by a skeleton) striking the time; and a calendar dial with medallions representing the months. According to local legend, the city will suffer if the clock is neglected and its good operation is placed in jeopardy.
During the Photo Monk years, it was not unusual for me to set out walking and walk around an entire day taking pictures with no particular destination or goal in mind. That is where the title of the project came from, it was like being a Zen monk photographer, just walking, observing, photographing, and contemplating. One day while out on a walk in Indianapolis I found this wonderful wall and tower. I loved the use of different textures that all seemed to come from different periods all kinda put together. It worked oddly, so I captured it.
