Amazing Interlocking Coin Sculptures
Amazing Interlocking Coin Sculptures
These coin sculptures by Robert Wechsler were commissioned by The New Yorker for their October 14th, 2013 money edition of the magazine. Wechsler intricately cut notches into common coins using a jeweler’s saw to create complex geometric forms and shapes. This series of sculptures is an extension of Wechsler’s “The Mendicant" project where he seeked (and seeks) "to awaken undiscovered virtue in everyday objects and spaces by challenging commonplace associations through careful intervention."

Amazing Moteora Monastery in Greece
Amazing Moteora Monastery in Greece
The word
Meteora means literally 'hovering in the air' and of course brings to mind the
word meteor. What created this rare geological phenomenon is one of the
mysteries of nature and there are many theories though they remain theories and
none have been proven.
But as
amazing a marvel of nature as these giant rocks are the buildings on the top of
these are a marvel of man and seem just as miraculous and make Meteora one of
the most spectacular places to visit in Greece.
The area
of Meteora was originally settled by monks who lived in caves within the rocks
during the 11th Century. But as the times became more unsure during an age of
Turkish occupation, brigandry and lawlessness, they climbed higher and higher
up the rock face until they were living on the inaccessable peaks where they
were able to build by bringing material and people up with ladders and baskets
and build the first monasteries. This was also how the monasteries were reached
until the nineteen twenties and now there are roads, pathways and steps to the
top.
The two
closest villages to Meteora are Kalambaka and Kastraki and these are where most
people stay. The name Kalambaka comes from the Turkish word Kalembak which
means beautiful fortress. The village
of Kastraki in the shade
of the rocks of Meteora is a popular destination for the rock climbers who can
walk out the door of their hotel and be climbing in a few minutes.
