The Sea Organ [Visiting Croatia]

Greetings all!

What happens if you combine human ideas and skills and the energy of the sea, waves, tide and flood? You get the Sea Organ in Croatia!

Listen HERE (doesn’t it sound eerie but also meditative?):

Image and description from https://morske-orgulje.business.site/

This is how the website for this unique attraction describes it:

“The organ looks like a series of broad steps leading down into the water, but there's actually very clever engineering hiding under the surface. The lower steps allow water and air to flow in. That water and air is then funneled into resonant chambers under the steps, and pushed out through the channels on the upper stairs, seen here. These cause the undulating, chime-like notes to be produced. Because the sea is always shifting and changing, the sea organ never sounds exactly the same twice. Each sound you hear is completely unique."

Amazing, isn’t it? I would love to listen in person! What did you think? Drop me a line!!
