Gran Salón de las Minas de Sal de Soledar, pero aquí un poco de historia sobre ellas... y en el tercer párrafo se describe este lugar.
Soledar es un pequeño pueblo en la región de Donetsk, se encuentra en el lugar de la bahía de poca profundidad del antiguo mar Pérmico, que existió allí 250 millones de años atrás. Después de que el mar se secó, aquí apareció uno de los depósitos de sal más puro del mundo y el más grande de Europa. A pesar de más de 100 años de trabajos subterráneos, se tradujo en más de 125 kilómetros de las minas, los recursos sobre el terreno de sal son suficientes para 2 mil años más.
Mientras que los turistas se sienten atraídos por las minas que no funcionan, es un escape que se agrega a la lista de la UNESCO del patrimonio mundial cultural. Los mineros que trabajaban en las minas convirtieron las minas en magníficos templos vacíos mediante la creación de esculturas, imágenes, capillas y grutas a partir de bloques de sal. Todo aquí está hecho de sal: paredes, techos, pisos, figuras y árboles.
El recorrido por las galerías saladas de esta ciudad subterránea a una profundidad de 300 metros, 700 metros de largo y termina con un gran salón de 40 metros de altura. La acústica de la sala es tan increíble que a veces se convierte en la sala de conciertos para orquestas sinfónicas. Kurt Schmidt, compositor austríaco y director dice que sólo hay 2 o 3 salas de conciertos en el mundo que puedan competir contra la acústica de las minas de sal Soledar: "Estoy impresionado Las notas vuelan hasta el arco de la gruta, y luego, lentamente, como un la nube...caen. ¡Increíble! ".
Cerca de la ruta turística hay un spa-sanatorio "Sinfonía Salada", donde las siguientes enfermedades se curan con éxito: el asma bronquial, bronquitis asthmatoid, bronquitis obstructiva, neumonía crónica, rhinoallergosis, dermatitis atópica, algunas formas de psoriasis, la inmunidad débil, enfermedades de la tiroides. El sentido de los pacientes de bienestar está influenciado por los siguientes factores: la presión atmosférica 772 mm Hg (milímetros de columna de mercurio), la humedad del aire 60%, temperatura 14-16 ° С, así como el propio aire se llena de piezas de sal con un tamaño de 1-5 micras y la concentración de 15 mg en 1 m cúbicos. El tratamiento en el microclima de las minas de sal es uno de los más efectivos, los adultos 70-85% y 85-95% niños, se recuperan según las estadísticas.
Por lo general, el tour continúa durante aproximadamente 4 horas. Durante este tiempo, los turistas pueden visitar el campo de fútbol, la iglesia, laberintos, sala de conciertos, galería, ver las figuras originales hechas de sal, tomar un descanso en el bar subterráneo, ver una película sobre la espeleo-sanatorio, tomar fotografías y video, juegar billar, tenis de mesa, ajedrez o simplemente descansar y respirar el aire único de la mina de sal. A lo largo de la ruta el personal médico y guías hacen algo de entrenamiento en medicina de gimnasia respiratoria y contar historias interesantes acerca de la mina de sal.

Huge Hall of the Mines of Soledar , but here's the complete story about it...and the third paragraph describes this place.
Small town Soledar in Donetsk region is situated on the place of shallow bay of ancient Permian sea which existed there 250 millions years ago. After the sea dried out, here appeared one of the purest salt deposit in the world and the biggest one in Europe. In spite of more than 100 years of underground working, resulted in more than 125 miles of mines, these salt field resources are enough for 2 thousand years more.
While tourists are attracted not by functioning mines, but exhaust one which is added to the UNESCO list of world culture heritage. Miners who worked in it turned the empty mines into magnificent temples by creating sculptures, pictures, chapels and grottos from salt blocks. Everything here is made of salt: walls, ceiling, floor, figures and trees.
The route along the salty galleries of this underground city at a depth of 300 meters is about 700 meters long and ends with a huge hall of 40 meters height. The acoustics in the hall is so amazing that sometimes it becomes the concert hall for symphonic orchestra. Kurt Schmidt, Austrian composer and director says that there are only 2 or 3 theaters in the world that can compete the acoustics of Soledar's salt mines: "I am impressed! The notes flew up to the arch of the grotto, and then slowly as a cloud fell down. Incredible!".
Near the tourist route there is a speleo-sanitarium "Salty Symphony" where the following diseases are successfully cured: bronchial asthma, asthmatoid bronchitis, obstructive bronchitis, chronic pneumonia, rhinoallergosis, atopic dermatitis, some forms of psoriasis, weak immunity, thyroid diseases. Patients' sense of well-being is influenced by the following factors: atmospheric pressure 772 mm Hg (millimeters mercury column), air humidity 60%, temperature 14-16 °С, as well as air itself is filled with salt pieces with size of 1-5 micron and concentration of 15 mg in 1 cu m. The treatment in the microclimate of salt mine is one of the most effective because 70-85% adults and 85-95% children recover there according to statistics.
Usually the tour goes on for about 4 hours. During this time tourists can visit underground football field, church, labyrinths, concert hall, gallery, see the original figures made of salt, take a rest at underground bar, watch a movie about speleo-sanitarium, take pictures and video, play billiards, table tennis, chess, and simply have a rest and breathe the unique air of salt mine. Along the route medical staff and guide will do some training in medical respiratory gymnastics and tell interesting stories about the salt mine.

Gracias por tu visita. /Thanks for visiting.
Edward Sydney Smith was a prolific composer of delightful pieces for the piano (and a handful of songs) who enjoyed immense renown in his own day, but whose popularity faded after his early death at the age of 49. With a couple of friends I decided to post my unique collection of all his known works on the net to mark his anniversary in 1989. The site is at www.sydneysmitharchive.org.uk - where anyone can download for free some 400 compositions.
My new Lens <3 Composer Pro with the Sweet 35 Optic :)
This lens allows you to choose one "sweet" point of focus, and the rest of the photo blurs. See above for an example.
You can tilt the lens with a swivel, as you can see.

My yearly Marsh Marigold contribution. They come on like gangbusters this time of year, my property is full of them. I've accepted these perennial weeds with open arms, otherwise they'd have driven me crazy by now...and that's a short drive.
This was taken with the LensBaby Composer...at the time I was stacking 1,2, and 3 Kenko extension tubes...along with the +4 and +10 close up filters. I don't know what the combo was for this one. It was shot wide open at f/2.
This one was shot with the 100mm macro. I like them both. The other gazillion shots were pretty much the same...I shoot in the gazillions when I'm laying on the ground having fun with all of that soft and shallow DoF :-)
She is quiet famous here in our small place. We met her, working on a new song in a cafe in a very intimate place that have its way in connecting people.
I asked her "can I take your photograph?". I didn't know who she was, but the way the notes where flowing from her pen, hand, body - to the yellowish paper kind have caught me.
I caught her by surprise, but she was more than nice.
So I took.
Thank you Nurit, I wish you all the good, and keep composing these wonderful songs.

Vera Wilde, artist-in-residence at Hack42. Because Art & Science!
Hackerspace Hack42 is proudly hosting a new artist-in-residence. Dr. Vera K. Wilde (PhD PoliSci) is a (former) Harvard Kennedy School researcher. She is working on re-branding the Dark-Web to the EDTR-web, a place for Expressing, Dissenting, Teaching and Resisting.
The EDTR-web is using technologies like TOR and encrypted communications tools to create a place of freedom where centralised power cannot reach.
Vera will be using arts (oil painting and songwriting) as well as writing and political science methods to define and develop the EDTR-web as a social space and technological phenomenon.
This is our second photo-shoot together. We have great chemistry and it's loads of fun to shoot with her.
We got to play with a few props, listen to some music and experiment with light and posing.
