A giant thermometer is on display in the Turpan Prefecture of China. I don’t know what’s more ominous. The giant rod standing tall in the sky or the rising red level that measures the local temperature.
This one may be too easy, but I had forgotten how beautiful it can be. So, what is it? Stylized ornaments? Blowing glass? Maybe even earrings? No, the answer is much more functional than that.
