Snooping Around....Musical Rain Building in Dresden (Germany)



Perhaps there is no more relaxing sounds of the noise of the rain that falls, and drop after drop creates a veritable musical harmony.
The rain already has its own musicality, but this can be increased and used to create musical instruments really unexpected. As in the case of musical building in Dresden, Germany. In one of the ancient city neighborhoods gutters and pipes have been transformed into real  instruments that play with the rain. This is an original artistic experiment named "Countryard of Elements". The facades of buildings becomes fantastic masterpieces used to enhance the sound of rain. The project was born thanks to Annette Paul, which deals with sculpture, and designers Christopher Rossner and Andre Tempel. Using their innovative ideas, they have transformed the new student district of Dresden (Kunsthofpassage) in a spectacular symphonic orchestra. The system uses metal cones and tubes that amplify the sound with the arrival of rain, creating a truly original melody. The musical project has become one of the most original and entertaining attractions in the city. Its effectiveness is not only for musical purposes, but also decorative. The main objective of the project consists in fact in making Dresden more cheerful and livable by directing the attention of the public and tourists to music and art.

The streets of Dresden are decorated also by the choice of bright colors to paint the exterior walls of the buildings. For the musical project so blue and turquoise are the perfect shades that call immediately the water element. A wonder that impress everytime it starts raining!

First I have to tell you...these are my favourite animals ever! And as you saw in my previous article about Poisonous Animals (check it out if you haven't yet ) are also very dangerous!! Let's find out other random facts about these amazing creatures!! 1. Jellyfish are found in every ocean of the world. They are even found in some freshwater lakes and ponds. 2. Jellyfish reproduce both asexually and sexually. They are usually male or female, though hermaphroditic species have also been found. 3. Even a dead jellyfish can sting. 4. Jellyfish are invertebrates, which means they are animals without a skeleton. Approximately 95% of their body is water. 5.

Urban Legends - Krampus, The Christmas Shadow

Surely Christmas is the most wonderful time of the year. Life looks a little bit better with snow, lights and songs all over the decorated streets. And of course there’s Santa Claus (also known as Saint Nicholas) bringing joy and presents to all the good girls and boys. But there’s some parts of Europe, like Germany, Austria, and other parts of the Alps region, where naughty children needs to be very careful during the holidays because of a dark, mischievous and grumpy figure hidden in the shadows. This evil spirit is the Krampus, Saint Nicholas counterpart. This creature is an anthropomorphic beast with fangs, fur, and horns. Dark and ancient spirit, Krampus announces his presence with loud bells and terrorizes the kids who have misbehaved during the year. In contrast with Santa giving the good ones gifts and joy, Krampus gives the bad ones whip beatings and nightmares. And if you have been particularly naughty, Krampus will drop you in a sack and whisk you away to his lair in

Urban Legends - The Town That’s Been Burning for Over Half a Century

Surfing on the Internet in search of new mysteries to talk about I found out something very strange. I’ve already talked about the Ringing Rocks County Park . And again today’s weirdness is located in Pennsylvania. What if I tell you there exists a city which has been burning for almost 50 years. And is still burning now.  I was surprised when I first heard about Centralia , a borough (a self-governing municipal entity that is usually smaller than a city) and a near-ghost town in Columbia County. Its population has radically dwindled from over 1,000 residents in 1981 to 8 in 2014 , and so is the least-populated municipality in Pennsylvania. But If you look at it, seems a very pleasurable city. So why everybody ran away ? Founded in 1862, Centralia came out because of the booming coal mining industry. Under the town lays a particular type of coal, called Anthracite coal (also known as Black Diamond, a much cooler name), once in high demand for heating homes. This underground mine
