Vidraru Dam

Three weeks ago I was on a short vacation, as I told you in the post "Olt Defile". One of the places that I visited and impressed me was Vidraru Dam, built in 1965 on Arges river to produce hydroelectricity.

Vidraru is an arch dam built on a foundation of rock and it's situated between Fruntii mountains and Ghitu mountains and it collects the water of  8 little rivers.

The dam's height is 166 meters, the arch length 305 meters, water accumulation volume 465 million cubic meters, the reservoir has a total shoreline (perimeter) length of 28km.

The road till Vidraru Dam is great because it reveal you spectacular and wild landscapes and to get to the dam, you have to pass through many tunnels, which are dug in the rock!

I put some photos of this wonderful place!

The Song of the Day...26.07.2012

Hello my  follower friends !

I woke up this morning singing a song of Billy Idol, the English rock musician who performed in the punk band, called Generation X.

The song of the day will be " The Sweet Sixteen", included on the third solo album -Whiplash Smile- released in 1986, a song  inspired by a true story. 

It's the story of Edward Leedskalnin who was dumped by his fiancee Agness Scuffs, the day before they were to be married. She was 16 years old.

He moved to Florida and started to build Coral Castle, which is a monument with furniture made of coral, hoping that in this way, Agness will marry him. Unfortunately, she didn't :(.

Edward Leedskalnin spent 25 years of his life carving boulders into the ancient-looking roofless structure.

How he did it, remains a mystery!!!

Billy Idol filmed the Sweet Sixteen' video in the Coral Castle, Florida!

I hope you enjoy it and till next time...Live Your Life in the Rhythm of Music!

The Song of the Day...25.07.2012

I want to declare the Song of the Day, a song that I'm sure that everybody knows it, played by the most famous Irish rock band, by U2.

A song which was U2 first number-one hit in USA and Canada in 1987, by topping the Billboard Hot 100 for three weeks. 

Besides the fact that they are very talented and their songs are full of spiritual meanings, they are involved in many charity campaigns.

I hope you will like With or Without you and till next time...Live Your Life in the Rhythm of Music!!!

This day belongs to Amy...ya Amy Winehouse! One year ago she went to heaven to sing to the angels.

She had such a great and powerful voice, so much talent and it's frustrating that she went so soon to the sky, taking us the privilege to listen her music.

RIP,  Amy!

The Song of the Day...20.07.2012

After a long week, finally it's Friday (Thanks God!!!!)

For 2 weeks on every music channel or radio station I listen this song, which I declare it The Song of the Day!

I like it so much because the singer has a great voice, compared to those of Sting and Peter Gabriel and the clip has an artistic approach.The song's name is "Somebody that I used to know" and it's played by Gotye - a Belgian- Australian singer-song writer.

Do you like the song?

Have a wonderful week-end and ... Live your Life in the Rhythm of Music!!!!

The Song of the Day...18.07.2012

Few weeks ago my hubby asked me to listen a music group that he found it on youtube, that

sounds different, but in the good way. I liked it instantly.

The group's name is Foster the People and is an American indie pop band from Los Angeles.

California.They are very talented. The vocal singer plays also keyboards, piano, guitar, percussion.

I hope you will enjoy Foster the People' first song called Pumped Up Kicks.

Till next time....Live Your Life in the Rhythm of Music!!!!!
