The Cross Club Clockworks

by Christoph · December 20, 2013

The phantastic clockworks outside the Cross Club in Prague Holešovice have fascinated me from the first moment I saw them. You probably know the rotating lights when you have ever passed at night. I recommend to take a closer look during day time, or in twilight. There is something mysterious about these machines, and you only feel the atmosphere when you are standing right next to them.

Could it be that these machines are meant as response to the historical clocks of Prague?
