Swimming Pool Installation In 21st Century Museum Of Art Of Kanazawa.

This is swimming pool art installation in 21st Century Museum of Art of Kanazawa by artist Leandro Erlich which opened its doors in September 2004 as one of the three permanent installations. There are two clear acrylic glasses about a foot apart and water is filled inside. The top surface is also filled with about 4 to 5 inches of water so that it just looks like water. The people underneath the swimming pool can actually look above with realistic water effect on top of it.

Swim On The Verge Of The Victoria Falls

运动 admin No Comments »

Swimming on the verge of the Victoria Falls is something you shouldn’t miss if you happen to be around this place, especially during the months of September & December.
Its during these months, flow is at a safe level, & people can swim as close as possible to the verge of the falls within the swimming pool. And this is made possible due to a natural rock wall, which is just below the water & at the very verge of the falls that stops their progress despite the current. The Victoria Falls is situated in southern Africa between the countries of Zambia & Zimbabwe, with height of 108 meters (360 ft), forming the largest sheet of falling water in the world & is one of the biggest, most beautiful waterfalls in the world.
