WPC: Dance
Dancing water in Barcelona and dancing Swedish people – old and young – around the Maypole. Soon we will be there again…
Music is essential to dancing, and the water here danced to classical music whereas the people clapped hands and danced to classical Swedish Midsummer songs.
I think most people love to dance…it is a beautiful, sensual way of showing emotions. Find more dancing here.
Old and very young dance around the maypole
Architecture and Giant Amazons
Den Blå Planet (The Blue Planet) opened in 2013 in Kastrup, a suburb of Copenhagen. It resembles a whirlpool when seen from above, and was designed by Danish architects It covers a total of 12,000 m2 (130,000 sq ft), including the 10,000 m2 (110,000 sq ft) building and 2,000 m2 (22,000 sq ft) outdoors.
The Blue Planet contains about 7,000,000 litres (1,500,000 imp gal; 1,800,000 US gal) of water divided into 53 exhibits. In the first year of existence, the aquarium received approximately 1.3 million visitors – twice as many as expected.
Just as the architecture is special and artistic, so are the giant freshwater fish from the Amazon. Look at those metal scales…and the intricate patterns on its head. Arowanas.
Surely man can never compete with nature in architecture.
Colours From – The Blue Planet
Last week I went to The Blue Planet in Denmark, with Viveka, my blogging friend at myguiltypleasures. We go to Copenhagen at least once a year, and this time we wanted to try the new Aquarium – opened 2013 and the biggest in Europe.
A rather cold day…with only the occational drop of sunshine.
Inside – all BLUE…
…and more BLUE
A meeting place…for nature lovers, lovers of this Big Blue World.
We also met other mesmerizing creatures…
…like little mermaids, and their friends
– the Seadragons…
A fascinating experience. To be continued…

Well, here you have garanteed indoor seating even outdoors…

Thursday Thoughts about Den Blå Planet, Denmark
Living in a bubble…Usually I am happy to live in My Own Bubble, my little world where I can shut out all the wars and disasters in this world and focus on the good things in life.
Sometimes I am happy that others live in their bubble and I can watch them, enjoy their beauty…from a safe distance.
Bubbles are useful, aren’t they?
