This photo shows details of the enormous astronomical clock house in one wing of the cathedral. This photo details the ages of man. Every 15 minutes, the display will rotate a quarter turn, revealing the next age. It goes from an infant to an adult man (protrayed as a soldier - just leaving on the left), to an old man (just coming in on the right), to a corpse. The skeleton ruling over this procession rings its bells on the quarter hour. Strasbourg, France.
