Sometimes coming to visit in the off tourist season allows you to see sights that are more for the locals than the visitors, however, sometimes you miss things of interest. In the case of the 'singing fountain' we had to be content with a few Christmas lights arched to simulate water (which only looked cool after dark) and some small bell chimes that played the odd Christmas tune. The lights did not move or even twinkle. In the summer the singing fountain responds to music and to the sounds of neighboring chimes and even to the music transmitted from the nearby theater and is as enjoyable for locals as much as tourists. I am not sure we missed a singing fountain because to me, responding to music is dancing not singing. This fountain does not make the music it just responds to it. I think someone should send a snappy letter off the the Kosice tourist bureau informing them that a dancing fountain sounds far more interesting than a singing one.Tuesday, January 12, 2010

ReplyDeleteThat would be a facinating thing to watch when it is flowing with water.
