The Gem of Switzerland- from Middle Age to a sight we face no matter where in the world!

Yes we travel and wonder at the amazing remnants of societies gone by. And Nations feel proud to be able to entice tourists to these destinations. Yes Switzerland is more than snow and skiing...isn't it? It sure is but there the boring artist lurks and leaves his/her mark assuming notoriety and appreciation... even for a short while.

Australia can't boast about middle age societies as found in the city of Solothurn... but we also have the scourge of vandalism and plenty of evidence of graffity.

This amazing clock has four arms which not only show the hours of the day, the date, the seasons but also the first signs of an appreciation of Astronomy.

And then the graffity artist strikes to leave his/her mark only this time no one in this city appreciates the efforts made.

 Perhaps with Easter on the way these pictures on the walls will be considered more appropriate. But I suspect the Astronomische Uhr will attract more visitors.
