This Giant Organ In Croatia Uses The Sea To Create Hauntingly Beautiful Sounds
"This 230-foot sea-organ located in Croatia uses energy from wind and water from the Adriatic Sea and creates an incredibly soothing harmony.
Also known as ““morske orgulje” in Croatia the marvelous sea-organ opened to the public in 2005 and was designed by Nikola Basic, a Croatian architect.
The organ works by water and wind entering through holes at the bottom of the steps, which are then directed into resounding chambers.
The sounds then make their exit along the holes of the highest steps. Not surprisingly, the giant organ has become a popular lunch-spot and tourist attraction — a far cry from what remained of Zadar in the aftermath of World War II."
"Here are some photos of Philip Townsend's extremely clever Green man Sculpture in Hamsterley Forest in the Durham Dales. It is made of a series of carved wooden poles in a triangular formation. There are three faces of the Green Man: the Green Father, The Green Man and the Green Son. As you move around the piece, each face is revealed as the poles align!"

Self-hatred compensating with hyperbolic displays of self-love. The self-importance of self-aggrandizement, hiding a sense of impotent inferiority.
An obsession with photos - a testament of one's existence - reveals the vanishing of 'self'. Moderns want 'self' to disappear, to be assimilated into a larger collective - within which the persona dilutes, and embarrassment turns to pride by association. But its disappearance is accompanied with anxiety, when it begins to be realized. The modern suddenly realizes what his own desires entailed - 'be careful what you wish for' - and in his rising consternation he tries to preserve what is left.
A self disembodied, detached from past, left only to seek its identity in the currents of fashion trends, and in the other's eyes, and in his verbal acknowledgements.

Of beauty: venerating the pleasing nature, is accepting the displeasing. Although to venerate the displeasing speaks to a wanting of something other than beauty. To that part which pronounces itself more than the other, should be given attention as the part which is superior. The cruel part, or the lovely part; the part which spills blood, or that which romanticizes the fallen.
Rarely will we have a spirit which fights the unseen war with no desire for peace.
