Stop posting I want to go to sleep and it is one in the morning here. You guys will not shut up. Didn't your parents ever teach you to leave sleeping Dawgs lie ? Oh thanks for the review. But it is tough taking pictures with a human camera.

I couldn't sleep last night either. I kept hearing a dawg barking
(and a owl)

I remember a Van Halen Album that had their logo in stainless steel round pipe. Found this on the web.




Here's the subject of all three photos I posted. It is a clock at the Clock Museum in Chaux de Fonds, Switzerland. It's existence pointed out to me by Lamble in the in between photo chatter on this thread. I've been to Chaux de Fonds about 10 times in the past three years to watch my son play hockey. The museum is a 10 minute walk from the rink. At the quarter hour, the colored panels begin to move in synch. There are speakers around the clock and a "heartbeat" drum session begins. Then the chimes start up. These are evident in the last picture, good eyes SNC! Anyway, it's a different sound, every time......... how's that for a pun. I apologize for the homeless guy in the foreground.

Inbetween chimes, the clock all folds down into a little red pocket knife size...clever these Swiss!

I am not at all impressed, unless there is also a screwdriver, a file, a tweezers, a tooth pick, and a scissors. Then I would be impressed.

Ok, here are the items I used for the close ups.
