An Organ Played by the Sea
According to an article on OddMusic.com, "Each organ pipe is blown by a column of air, pushed in turn by a column of wave-moved water, through a plastic tube immersed into the water." The end result ends up sounding a bit like this. [.mp3]
Interested in visiting what Lonely Planet calls "one of the most beautiful parts of Europe?" Head to your local bookstore and pick up the 4th edition of Croatia, released in March of 2007.
Update: This isn't the only sea organ in the world (sorry!) -- there's another one in San Francisco. (Thanks Oana!)

I visited this exact spot back in February, and was surprised to find out this is not the only sea organ in the world - apparently there is one in San Francisco too!

It's best to go on a fairly breezy day-- the more wind and waves, the better the sound. At sunset, with the lights flicking on over the water on the mainland, it's especially haunting. More about Zadar and the sea organ here, with audio links:
