Measurable Water


..or 'Meetbaar water' in Dutch, is the title of this 'swimming pool' in one of the canals near the Berlikumermarkt in Leeuwarden. It says  'H2O' on the side (near the head) and it should be possible to read the temperature there as well -though not visible on this photo.

It was made in 2004 by Dutch sculpturor Jan Ros, apparently to show the temperature and clarity of the water in the Leeuwarden canals.
Hmm...clarity?

  1. THAT certainly seems optimistic! I don't even see ducks swimming.

  2. Originele kunstwerken daar in Leeuwarden! Grachtenwater vertrouw ik voor geen meter, mensen gooien er te veel rotzooi in om schoon te kunnen zijn.

  3. Interesting! I don't think clarity is a good description here.
