Images from the antique mall just north of Waco, northbound road, exit 345, which features "America's largest collection of dog memorabilia." If you're passing through Waco, it's worth the stop!
This beat apparently made headlines--it's a robot dog from the 1880s, that nods and snuffles and such. Tres steampunk, but in a horrid sort of way, without any glamor.

The Fire Garden at Tate Modern, one of the events to mark the 350th anniversary of the Great Fire of London as part of Great Fire 350.
Fire Garden
A crackling, spitting, after-dark adventure
Compagnie Carabosse disrupt public spaces with flaming artworks that remind us of our most elemental human need.
With burning metal structures, cascading candles and flickering flowerpots, Fire Garden transformed the front lawn of Tate Modern into a crackling and spitting, after-dark adventure as part of London's Burning. With live music and other intriguing goings-on, audiences were invited to experience fire like never before and remember the blaze that changed London forever.
One of France’s most prominent street art groups, Compagnie Carabosse are a collective comprising of artistic designers, constructors, actors, musicians, technicians, inventors, poets, photographers and visual artists. For almost 20 years they have been working in public spaces throughout Europe and the world. They are driven by the philosophy that public spaces and streets should remain open to everyone and be a place for self expression and freedom.

This extravagant highly decorated clock featuring moving figures and sound dates from the 1780s. In 2011, the clock underwent restoration and was repaired to its former glory.
The case is mid 18th century and continental in style. It was probably made for export to China or the Far East.
Although it is now covered in red velvet it would have originally been painted or lacquered. The clock movement and dial are English and date from the 1770s. The clock was altered in the 19th century and the music box is a replacement.
The clock chimes every quarter of an hour and the figure of Hercules at the top strikes the hours. When the automaton is activated the four dancing figures at the base of the temple at the top spin round and the stars rotate.
The glass rods also revolve to give the impression of waterfalls. A procession of 26 figures moves across the front of the clock, while at the back, more figures are seen crossing the bridge between the two water wheels.
The clock was given to York Castle Museum in 1974 by Edward Lamb in memory of his mother, Mary Alice Lamb, and his grandfather, Thomas Child. It was moved to York Art Gallery in 2018.
