Astronomical Clock Tower

On my first day in Prague I wasn't quite sure what to do. I wandered to the busiest looking spot in town, which turned out to be Old Town Square. Here there was a lot of Easter markets. Overlooking all this was a large clock tower. I figured this was a good way to see the area and get my bearings.
When I got into the tower, I looked up and loved how this lift looked. You can either walk up the spiral-esque ramp or take this lift. I did the best of both worlds; I took (a photo of) the lift and walked up the ramp. This lift shaft was actually incredibly dark, so I had to crank the ISO to 400 and use f/5.6 to get a handheld HDR. That's not noise at the top of the lift, it really does look that weird.
Once I got to the top, the view was great and it was reasonably sunny, unlike the rest of the time. I was hoping to get up her later on for some night shots of Prague, but I didn't have enough time, as I spent too long eating delicious goulash.
This looks stranger on black (Press L) and making this a favourite (press F) means that part of the charm of this photo belongs to you forever.
No group images please.
