SWIMMING IN BERNE’S FAST-FLOWING CITY RIVER

“Much of Europe has experienced sweltering summer weather over recent weeks. So it’s not surprising when people look for a cool and shady spot, and maybe even a refreshing dip. But how easy is that in a busy city in a land-locked country? In the Swiss capital Berne, people have a spectacular solution to the problem, using the fast-flowing river Aare.” w/ video. LINK

River Whale Garden

The ‘whale’ is actually a project from Vincent Callebaut Architects called Physalia Physalis or ‘Water Bubble’, and it has a very serious point. One billion people don’t have access to clean drinking water. This vessel is designed to float up and down the rivers of Europe, purifying the water as it goes. It is of course a huge floating garden among other things, with interior gardens dedicated to Earth, Water, Wind and Fire. So in theory it would make the Thames drinkable. It is also apparently completely self-sufficient, being covered in solar panels. In fact, it is meant to produce more energy than it uses. Too bad it is only a concept for now.

Boyne Currach

This video incorporates footage from 1935, in which Irish craftsmen build a coracle from willow and an ox hide, then use the craft to set their nets in the River Boyne. One has to admire the skill and experience required to propel a keel-less craft in a reasonably straight line. As the narrator notes, these river craft are related to the larger currachs that were capable of substantial ocean voyages.
