Sea Organ - Zadar, Croatia

Wednesday, October 29th, 2008

The musical Sea Organ is located on the shores of Zadar, Croatia, and is the world’s first musical pipe organs that is played by the sea. Simple and elegant steps, carved in white stone, were built on the quayside. Underneath, there are 35 musically tuned tubes with whistle openings on the sidewalk. The movement of the sea pushes air through, and – depending on the size and velocity of the wave – musical chords are played. The waves create random harmonic sounds.

The musical pipes are located so that the sea water and wind movements produce musical sounds that are heard by passers by so that it achieves a communication with nature and promotes a unity of architecture and environment. As sea forces and energies are unpredictable in terms of tides and winds, this organ offers never-ending concert of numerous musical variations in which the performer is nature itself.

This masterpiece of acoustics and architecture was created by expert Dalmatian stone carvers and architect Nikola Basic in 2005, who recently received the European Prize for Urban Public Space for this project.

Found : Fake 500 rupee note

Saturday, October 25th, 2008

Someone fooled me with a fake 500 rupee note today . Heres the scanned image . It is very very hard to differentiate . The fake one has all the watermarks that you normally use to differentiate . Its the inter weaved ‘RBI’ and the 3D ‘500′ logo that helps to differentiate .

If you get a fake note , tear it into pieces or go to a bank and give them , they will do it for you . Theres nothing else that you can do with it .

DONT try to fool someone else by passing on the note .

Hope this helps you . Spread the info .
