I don't recall ever seeing a post on Hive with more comments than votes. There should be an award for that.

I see we're both wanting to know about that angel sculpture. I'm betting a type of marble that I'm not familiar with, or a type of limestone.

I've never heard of a theremin. Just took a quick look and am utterly fascinated with something new to me. Thanks for that. I just love learning something new. It's one of the three spices of life for me. No, dill is definitely not one of the other two. 😂

Sort:  

I feel the same way. You and @holoz0r should get some cool frames or something:)

Marble, definitely.

I love theremin! And for some reason, when I hear it - always Nina Hagen come to my mind, she is living theremin 🤣

cool frames or something:)

What kind of cool frames or something should @holoz0r and I get? Probably he should, but I'm too far gone at this point.

Marble, definitely.

Ha! I'm going to agree here. I have a lot of questions about old marble as a material. I've carved a few differnt marbles and found them to be most distasteful to carve.

I love theremin! And for some reason, when I hear it - always Nina Hagen come to my mind, she is living theremin 🤣

I can hear why. I checked some out. Noting Nina Hagen to check out later. I see it's not as new of an instrument as I would have thought. There's something very unusual about it, but I haven't formed an idea as to what that is. I need more time.

Lately, it's been a touch of Dead Can Dance that I've been listening to.

Too far gone?! I don't accept that. Frames? I will figure something out, I'll come back to you :)

I like marble in old sculptures, but as a material for floors, kitchen worktops or modernist nightmares of modern architecture - I absolutely hate it.

I am glad you've found theremin interesting, explore!

Dead Can Dance🖤

I will figure something out, I'll come back to you :)

I'll wait to see. Btw, I'm only three quarters of the way gone, so one quarter is still here.

🤣 mmm...calcium carbonate interior landscaping, ugh. Modern architecture inspires the urge to bleach my eyes. That's a whole discussion unto itself.

Oh yes, theremin has captured my attention, just fascinating. It's lining up with other things I've been looking at. It makes me think of this sort of thing.

One quarter it is still something!

Modern architecture inspires the urge to bleach my eyes.

I am not in oppose of everything new, but idea that every single building has to be done with glass and black stone just make me depressed. And the thing is - I really like weight-bearing volumes, soaring, gigantic buildings. I actually very much like neo-brutalism for example. But man... not everywhere.

It destroys the were idea of traveling as well - since we make everything so minimal and alike - cities are loosing individuality, its connection to tradition and history. They are stripped of their past and 'cleaned', but in the worst sense of the word. I think it is disaster, and architecture itself is in deep crisis, really.

singing plants

I love that! I was getting back to one of my favourite book - 'The Hidden Life of Trees', and there is a bit there about sounds that plans would make while growing. Especially roots - they nearly 'buzzing', it is fascinating!

I am not in oppose of everything new

If you lived here, you'd be opposed to all architecture from 1960ish to present day due to it's absolute offensive festering eyesore fuggliness. No, I'm not exaggerating.

All the glass and black is very prevalent here with modern architecture here. I will always prefer very old architetcture, often the kind that no one knows how to build anymore.

since we make everything so minimal and alike - cities are loosing individuality

I agree. I've noticed that no matter what part of the world, so much of what is being built and infrastructure have begun to all look very similar.

They are stripped of their past and 'cleaned', but in the worst sense of the word.

I'd suggest that's very intentional, based on my observations.

I'm not familiar with neo-brutalism, so I took a quick look. My first impression is cubism in architecture form and some of what I saw is appealing.

'The Hidden Life of Trees'

I haven't heard of this book, just put that on my reading list, thanks. Yes, the roots, it's wild.

A friend told me about a tree species (can't recall the name right now), that giraffes like to eat the new growth at top of the tree, which is the sweet part. When they start to eat it, the tree sends a signal out to all trees of that species within a 60 mile radius to alter the taste to bitter, which happens very fast. Giraffes stop eating them then. Wild defense mechanism. Incredible communication.

Ever sit on a big tree root for a while? You can feel a slight vibration, almost like a hum, if you are able to attune to this sort of thing. I find these things so fascinating.

100% agree here. I must admit, although I am not much traveller myself - I really enjoyed trip to Italy, Florence especially. Narrow streets, small cafes, townhouses renovated with taste and not repainted in some absurd colours. People just walk there, they don't run in a hurry like most European cities:)

Neobruatalism looks like cubism meets socialist realism a bit:D It is blocky, but you can see the play of form, the lines.
here you have example:

or UNESCO building

Tree thing

Ah! That is great example how tree can defend themselves. Chemistry behind this is just marvellous!

I am hugging trees on regular basis. Just lying under the tree and watch how magnificent crawn is created out of those strong branches... I just love it. Not sure if I've feelt vibration, I will be more attentive next time:)
