V Valencia in Playa de la Malvarrosa, an amazing the fountain, at first sight, resembling a boat with a snow-white sail … Looking closely, you can see that the hull of this ship is nothing more than jets of water playing in the sun.
What fountains we have not written about on the site Kulturologiya.ru: sound, "dancing" and even hanging in the air! The boat fountain in Valencia (its full name sounds like Fuente del Barco de Agua) is a real find for designers, as its unusual "playful" design attracts many tourists. By the way, similar fountains have been installed in other countries, in particular, in Israel and Portugal, but it is the Spanish water cannon that is considered the most popular.
It is especially interesting to compare a fountain when it is running and when it is off, since the jets of water "revive" the soulless frame in a matter of minutes. In the evening, the sailboat, illuminated by the rays of the setting sun, takes on a bronze tint, and at night the beauty of the water structure is emphasized by the successful illumination.
Valencia is an amazing place, once in which travelers never cease to be amazed literally at every step. By far the main attraction is the City of Arts and Sciences, an unsurpassed piece of hi-tech architecture, located halfway between the historic part of Valencia and the coastal region of Nazareth.

It's not scary when you are alone, scary when you are zero. No matter how inspiring, inspiring and encouraging this phrase may sound, being alone is actually very scary. Maybe it's not so much scary as sad and insulting, dreary, bitter and dejected. And if women, by their nature, try to stick together, then men, like proud lone wolves, move away from the team and withdraw into themselves. About this - a series of photographs from Wes Naman called "The Bachelor" (Lonely Man)

Many unusual houses have been built in Moscow, however, not all of them are old. For example, one of the most interesting and controversial buildings, the Sail House, appeared in the 21st century. A giant teardrop-shaped residential building located on Grizodubova Street (Khodynskoye Pole) really resembles a sail blown up in the wind, which looks grandiose and arouses curiosity. And the history of this multi-storey building is also interesting
