Greeting to the sun

The greeting to the sun (flickr pool) is the work of the same architect (Nikola Basic) who designed the sea organ, and the two installations are designed to work together. The energy gathered by the disk during the day is emitted somehow in rhythm with the 'call' of the sea organ as dusk falls and during the night. It can look quite funky during the day too.

In fact, the light by the time I took this was probably worse than it had been all day. It was slated to be 'white cloud' all day, but in fact it's been pretty much wall to wall sunshine, and we've been out in it almost all day, bar about half an hour when we came back here for me to take a shower, and an hour when we sat indoors to have our lunch in a restaurant. Otherwise, we've sat in various cafes in various squares and drunk different combinations of coffee, water and beer, or we've sat by the sea. I even took a swim this morning and it was glorious, if a little choppy at times. The water temperature is around 17 or 18 degrees, which is fine so long as it's warm when you get out (which it was). I've never ever swum in the sea on November 9th before.

Fancy that. The 25th anniversary of the fall of the Berlin wall, Nordic father's day, Remembrance Sunday in the UK, and the day of the Catalonia 'referendum' caught here by Bb.

And we've just been wandering around a little peninsula in the sunshine, completely chilled.
