Orgues Marines Photo

Photographer’s Note

LES ORGUES MARINES
"Sur le quai du couchant, non loin des grands ferries, une belle enfilade de marches de pierre blanche descend vers les flots, produisant au gré des vagues un fascinant spectacle sonore, ces Orgues marines sont l’œuvre de l'architecte Nikola Bašic'. Les séries d'escaliers s'étirent sur près de soixante-dix mètres en front de mer, 35 tuyaux de différents diamètres et tailles sont installés perpendiculairement au long du quai et s'élèvent depuis la mer jusqu'à un couloir d'entretien sous la dalle de surface. Les tuyaux sont percés de bouches (anches) qui jouent 7 accords de 5 tons. Les marches de pierre en surface sont perforées de trous, laissant échapper la musique produite par l'air poussé par les vagues."

THE SEA ORGAN
"The Sea organ was constructed following the project of Nikola Bašic', an architect; it is positioned near the new cruiser port as a part of Zadar's Riva and is easily recognized as a specifically shaped part of the coast that consists of several stairs descending into the sea. The stairs extend for about 70 meters along the coast, and under them, at the lowest sea-tide level, 35 pipes of different length, diameter and tilts were put up vertically to the coast, rising aslant to the paved part of the shore and ending in a canal (a service corridor). On the pipes there are LABIUMS (whistles), which play 7 chords of 5 tones. Above the canal there are perforated stone stairs through which the sound comes out as the air is pushed by the sea."

Hello Jacques, today we are neighbours, Interesting subject, it is a pity we can not hear the music but from this image & your note we can see this sea organ & almost hear it, colour, detail, light & textures are all excellent, an interesting concept, well captured.

Hi Jacques. I’ve never seen or even heard of these before, must be quite eerie to hear the music of the ocean. Nice capture. Good depth and perspective. Thanks for sharing.
Cheers, Paul.

Hello Jacques,
Interesting photo of these little stone steps. I like these colors and this composition you've made. The sharpness is also really good.
Well done!

Eino

Bonjour Jacques. Quelque chose du beau de mon pays natal et de ma ville. The sharpness of the image is excellent and technically most informative as much of what you say in your notes you have also captured visually. Original. Amicalement. Klaudio.

Hello Jacques,

Un élément architectural qui fait de la musique avec les vagues. J'aimerais bien entendre ça. L'architecte a eu une excellente idée. Une photographie infirmative très bien documentée.
Merci pour le partage.

A+

Bonsoir Jacques,
On ne peut voir que peu de choses et bien sûr pas les entrailles du monstre. Ce doit être une musique aléatoire et puissante. Une image qui étonne, réalisée on ne peut plus sobrement. Beau et intéressant.
Bonne soirée
Amicalement

Bonjour Jacques, interesting exercise with textures and light. It seems that a part of the pavement decided to make a statement, defending the right to be diferent: "We want to be closer to the water!" ;-) This presentation is perfect to me. The WS is too enlighted.
amicalement,
ricardo

Salut Jacques! Incredible HOW you see, such a great composition. Wet concrete with some parts already dry and the dark water of the sea on the side, amazing for me what came out, I find it wonderful like the idea of this architect with the sea organ, how nice to make such things possible. I really wonder how this sounds. Excellent, totally attractive. Best regards, Barbara.
