A Galileo Thermometer..........

I have added here a little detail on how this decorative thermometer works.
       'The Galileo thermometer is named after the Italian physicist Galileo Galilei. The thermometer uses glass bulbs filled with a liquid that reacts to temperature. The pressure within the bulb is changed by the rise and fall of the temperature and this causes the bulbs to float up or down. The tags display the temperature and the weight of each is slightly different allowing them to rise and fall in relation to the temperature.'

I do not think it would stand up to the temperatures we have been having lately. The liquid inside may have frozen!!!
This may be good with the dark background.

Hope you are all well.
