This picture has been on the slides-show of pictures on the sidebar for some time now, but was never featured as an actual picture of the week.
With out further ado, I give you, my dear and faithful friends:
The Prague Astronomical Clock.
Pay heed to the inner figure on the upper leftside of the clock . . . a Jew holding a money bag . . . representing the vice of greed.
What of the prejudecies and symbols? I give you a guest post I wrote for my good friend A Simple Jew:
Enjoy and a good Shabbos to all!

Shabbat Shalom, Mottel. That's a beautiful photograph ... the colors so vivid.
There's so much beauty in the cities of Europe... and so much ugly anti-semitism hiding everywhere you look.
That is a beautiful, beautiful image - although I agree with SuperRaizy on the 'hidden' features of our continent!
BTW, I come to you via Chavi's blog... :)
-Chav: Thanks for the kind words.
-SuperRaizy: Europe has its issues, but I'll take my Eastern European antisemites over the Western European Pseudo-intellectuals any day.
-Shavuatov: Where in Europe are you from? You're welcome back, anytime!
Hey - England! And despite what some fools in this country of mine think, we ARE part of Europe! Dang that stretch of water between us and the mainland!
I'll return, never fear...
