πŸŒŠπŸ“œIn Autumn and Winter high tides threaten Venice and the #Lagoon.
This happens for ages, since Venice was founded: the first reported Acqua Granda (Flood) dates back in January 1286 and, along with it, the idea of the construction of a dam to prevent Venice from being flooded.
An early example of dam were the so called Murazzi, still today visible at the #Alberoni in Venice #Lido, built in 1744 in various places where the "Lagoon meets the Sea": the Lido, Santa Maria Del Mare, Pellestrina, Sottomarina.

Today we have the MOSE, finally working since 2021, after the last Acqua Granda of November 2019 which devasted Venice. Yesterday it was activated and definitely saved the city!!!
An interesting video of how it works hereπŸ‘‡

High Tide

#HardRock #PsychedelicRock #HeavyMetal

55 years ago, some say in September, some in October, some in December, High Tide from Northampton, England, #UK released their debut studio album.

At the time #HighTide were poorly considered, if not ignored. In retrospect Sea Shanties is regarded as one of the earliest Heavy Metal albums🀘

The violin of Simon House (later #Hawkwind) omnipresent throughout the album, surprisingly contributes to deliever a heavier sound!

This is often labeled as #ProtoMetal, #ProtoProg, Proto whatever, to me it's always been like The Doors met Black Sabbath!

The instrumental "Death Warmed Up" is one of the most mind blowing pieces I've head ❀️‍πŸ”₯

In this album:
#RogerHadden - drums
#TonyHill - guitars, vocals
#PeterPavli - bass
#SimonHouse - violin, organ
