31/OCT/2010 part two.

This is the where I went today, it's called: Bowes Museum.
It's known for a mechanised swan (below)

This is a swan that is controlled by three clockwork mechanisms, the swan head, which made from thousands of pieces of metal, moves around and eats a fish from the water of rotating glass rods, while playing one of it's eight original songs. The cycle takes 33.5 seconds.
It's pretty beautiful
