Now I want to tell you about Morske Orgulje , the sea organ . The waves play music. Amazing , huh?
OK,here we go.

The Sea Organ !
The gigantic organ which is at the beach named Morske Orgulje. In Kroasia language,Morske Orgulje means Sea Organ. Yup,Morske Orgulje is at the seaside and is played by sea waves.Huuh?Why?
Morske Orgulje is not the basic organ.It was made of white marmer rocks. It's very long,70 meter. There are 35 holes at every side. When sea waves touched the organ part,you'll here music sounds .
Sounds from the waves are not always the same. Speed,power, and wave sizes are the main part.

First in the World
Morske Orgulje is the first organ in the world that is played by sea waves. This thing was invented by an architect called Sir Nikola Basic and Dalmatian.
Morske Orgulje was made in 2005..With his creation that beautiful and amazing,Sir Nikola Basic awarded European Prize for Urban Public Space .An architecture prize in Europe.
And of course,this sea organ made Zadar Beach in Kroasia more famous and many tourists come to this place.They come to hear music that played by waves and see sunset.Zadar Beach is famous for it's sunset.

Yep,that's the article.You can check the encyclopedia if you want to know more about Morske Orgulje. Maybe I'll go there if I'm not busy with my older brother,Akira.

  4. Me either, but maybe it's got something to do with the waves hitting the bottom and forcing air out of those holes at the top?
