A sound art object and experimental musical instrument that creates lovely chimed tunes using only the rolling power of sea waves. The installation looks like a series of broad steps leading down into the sea hiding clever engineering beneath their surface. Nikola Bašić, a renowned architect, has devised an ingenious system of resonant chambers that produces ever-changing syncopated tunes which soothe and excite the minds of countless amazed visitors as they chill and linger on the Riva for hours to hear that dreamlike sound once again before they leave.
Another installation of the brilliant architect symbolizes the communication between man and nature. This stirring monument consists of 300 multi-layered glass plates that absorb solar energy during the day and create a spectacular waterfront light show just after sunset. These installations are a holiday for all your senses.
In love with the spectacular installations that show how well art and nature mix. Zeljko Serdar
While all plants need sunlight, they don’t all need the same amount. Your plants’ nursery tags indicate how much sunlight your plant needs using the following terms. Here’s what each of them means:
ReplyDeleteFull Sun: A plant requiring full sun needs all the sunlight it can get; at least 6 to 8 hours of direct sun exposure per day. “Full sun” is often indicated on nursery tags with a sun icon.
Part Sun: A plant requiring part sun needs 3-6 hours of direct sunlight per day. Many “part sun” plants can also be treated at “full sun” plants. Part sun is often indicated with a sun icon in which part of the icon is shaded in.
Part Shade: The difference between part sun and part shade can be confusing. Part shade plants prefer 3-6 hours of sunlight, but need protection from the intense midday sun (typically from 10 am to 3 pm). This means the plant’s location should get sunlight at dawn or in the evening, but shaded when the sun is highest in the sky. Part shade is often indicated by a sun icon that is mostly shaded over.
Shade: A shade-loving plant still needs some sunlight, just not a lot of it! These plants prefer less than 3 hours of direct sunlight, but not total darkness. Somewhere that gets indirect sunlight, like under the canopy of a tree, is normally a suitable location. Not surprisingly, shade is often indicated with a sun icon that is fully shaded out.
