The town hall has had a clock with effigies of goats since 1551. Every day, as the town-hall clock strikes twelve, the doors of the small tower on top of the façade open to show two metal billygoats. The clockwork goats hit each other with horns twelve times. Legend has it that having completed the clock, Bertel Wolf decided to show his work to city councillors and the Poznań voivod. While preparing an official feast, the cook carelessly burned a piece of meat, so he decided to steal two goats in order to kill and roast them, but these escaped to the town-hall tower. When the visitors spotted the animals hitting each other on the cornice of the town hall, the voivod commissioned an additional mechanism with goats.

Poznan Blog Padlocks - attached by couple declaring never ending love. It is quite common in Eastern Europe. The authorities usually cut them off when too many build up to reduce wieght on bridge structure.
Poznan Blog Thanks for the kind comment. The 1st photo - a routine photo run through an app called Small Planet (other similar variations available). I use occasionally - see blogs last July for other examples - The Living Daylights from Helsinki and Fly Me To The Moon from Middlesbrough.
Faces in Places What a fantastic sculpture...a collage of leaves making a truly memorable Faces in Places image. I am posting it in the thread of that name in the Photography Forum. Check it out.
Under the arches Fascinating collage of images that captures an undercurrent soul of Belfast. I have posted some in 'Signs, Signs & more Signs' thread in the Photography Forum. Check 'em out.
The original purpose of the blog was the 20th wedding anniversary trip in 2006 / 2007 - Ashes cricket in Oz, setting off early in April and going the long way round!
The trip came to an end in February 2007 and for a while retrospective blogging was the only option (for reasons that you can find in the Road to Freedom).
There are still two to travel and the passport is now back in use in 2009. We get distracted in more than the odd football ground along the way, but it is all part of the journey.... full info
