Glockenspiel

Munich, Germany

shot through glass from the "Glockenspiel" Cafe across the street.

The Rathaus-Glockenspiel dates from 1908.
Every day at 11 a.m. (as well as 12 p.m. and 5 p.m. in Summer) it chimes and re-enacts two stories
from the 16th century to the amusement of mass crowds of tourists and locals.
The whole show lasts somewhere between 12 and 15 minutes long depending on which tune it plays that day.
At the very end of the show, a small golden bird at the top of the Glockenspiel chirps three times, marking the end of the spectacle.

Nice capture, Tom. This reminded me that I haven't posted my capture of this when I was there several years ago. That area of Munich is very lively and a wonderful place to eat, drink, and have a nice stroll.

I've seen this show and loved it! I also think that we took an elevator to the top of the Glockenspiel tower (town hall maybe?).
Wonderful capture of this famous icon! V
