  • REPORTAGE - Kroatien: Das Schiffswrack von Sveti Pavao
    DUK10078546_049
    REPORTAGE - Kroatien: Das Schiffswrack von Sveti Pavao
    Modern Iznik ceramics is still sold in Istanbul bazar.In the summer of 2006, holidaying scuba-divers came across a vase among vestiges of an old shipwreck close to Mljet island in Dalmatia, Croatia. The group’s leader, archaeologist Jurica Bezak, had an inkling the wreck could be important and told his employer the Croatian Conservation Institute (CCI) about the discovery. The following summer CCI experts examined the site, and began recovering some of the items they found there. They named it the “Sveti Pavao Shipwreck”, because it lay close to a dangerous underwater shoal of that name. The serrated rocks, set almost exactly at sea-level, were probably what had brought about the ship’s demise. The wreck lies in the 40-50m range, so the divers’ work was laborious and difficult. At first it seemed that the wreck was unremarkable, however, it turned out that the vessel was most likely a Venetian merchant ship that had come to grief between 1580 and 1590, and that a substantial part of its cargo consisted of extraordinarily valuable fritware pottery from the Ottoman city of Iznik. More than 100 examples of these ceramics have been found now and it’s a unique discovery – no other such ship has ever been found before.

The Süleymaniye Mosque in Istanbul was built on the order of Sultan Süleyman (Süleyman the Magnificent). The construction works began in 1550 and the mosque was finished in 1557. It was built according to the plans of architectural genius of Mimar Sinan and the interior decoration is subtle, with very restrained use of Iznik tiles.In the summer of 2006, holidaying scuba-divers came across a vase among vestiges of an old shipwreck close to Mljet island in Dalmatia, Croatia.

    REPORTAGE - Kroatien: Das Schiffswrack von Sveti Pavao
    Tiles from Iznik cover walls of many ancient mosques and palaces, especially in Istanbul. In 15th-16th century , the production of Iznik ceramics was at its’ height. Sultan Ahmet Mosque in Istanbul is also known as the Blue Mosque because of blue tiles surrounding the walls. It was constructed between 1609 and 1616. The is lined with more than 20,000 handmade ?znik style ceramic tiles in more than fifty different tulip designs. The tiles at lower levels are traditional in design, while at gallery level their design becomes flamboyant with representations of flowers, fruit and cypresses.In the summer of 2006, holidaying scuba-divers came across a vase among vestiges of an old shipwreck close to Mljet island in Dalmatia, Croatia. The group’s leader, archaeologist Jurica Bezak, had an inkling the wreck could be important and told his employer the Croatian Conservation Institute (CCI) about the discovery. The following summer CCI experts examined the site, and began recovering some of the items they found there. They named it the “Sveti Pavao Shipwreck”, because it lay close to a dangerous underwater shoal of that name. The serrated rocks, set almost exactly at sea-level, were probably what had brought about the ship’s demise. The wreck lies in the 40-50m range, so the divers’ work was laborious and difficult. At first it seemed that the wreck was unremarkable, however, it turned out that the vessel was most likely a Venetian merchant ship that had come to grief between 1580 and 1590, and that a substantial part of its cargo consisted of extraordinarily valuable fritware pottery from the Ottoman city of Iznik. More than 100 examples of these ceramics have been found now and it’s a unique discovery – no other such ship has ever been found before.

    Tiles from Iznik cover walls of many ancient mosques and palaces, especially in Istanbul. In 15th-16th century , the production of Iznik ceramics was at its’ height. The Süleymaniye Mosque in Istanbul was built on the order of Sultan Süleyman (Süleyman the Magnificent). The construction works began in 1550 and the mosque was finished in 1557. It was built according to the plans of architectural genius of Mimar Sinan and the interior decoration is subtle, with very restrained use of Iznik tiles.In the summer of 2006, holidaying scuba-divers came across a vase among vestiges of an old shipwreck close to Mljet island in Dalmatia, Croatia.

  • Scuba diver explores widening gap between America and Eurasia tectonic plates, Iceland - 02 May 2011

    Scuba diver explores widening gap between America and Eurasia tectonic plates, Iceland - 02 May 2011

    Diver Explores Gap Between Continents
    He may appear to be exploring the crystal clear waters of a normal underwater canyon but this diver is actually swimming between two continents.

    The gap between Europe and the United States is slowly widening as the two tectonic plates they sit upon move apart at the rate of an inch a year.

    These spectacular underwater photographs show the vast gap between the American and Eurasia plates, as seen by a British scuba diver.

    Alex Mustard, 36, dived 80 feet into the crevice between North America and Eurasia to reveal the stunning landscape.

    The area - near Iceland - is riddled with faults, valleys, volcanoes and hot springs, caused by the plates pulling apart at about 1inch per year.

    Alex snapped away as he and his dive partners swam through fresh water canyons Silfra, Nes and Nikulasargja, which are up to 200 feet deep.

    He also took photographs of the Arnarnes Strytur chimney, which forms a cloudy plume as 80C water is ejected from the earth's crust and hits the cool 4C seawater.

    Alex, from Southampton, Hants, said: "The photos show diving in the unique underwater world of Iceland which, like on land, is formed by the volcanic landscape of the country.

    "Many people visit Iceland to see these features on land but they also continue underwater.

    "For a scuba diver these are spectacular places to visit - being able to fly through the clear water and explore the fault lines in three dimensions.

    "I have dived all around the world and this is almost certainly the clearest water I have ever been in.

    "Many people have an experience of vertigo from the sheer walls and clear water".

    Artists With A Hole Lot Of Imagination
    A pair of designers are itching to brighten up some of Britain's two million potholes - by turning them into artworks.

    For urban artists David Luciano and Claudia Ficca the nation's potholes offer the perfect backdrop for a series of wacky pictures.

    And the pair, from Montreal in Canada, say they would love nothing better than to bring their unusual art to the UK.

    To date, their imagination has transformed asphalt craters in cities across Canada and America.

    For their eye-catching pictures they have utilised pockmarked roads for everything from donut making, washing, fishing, and even conducting a baptism.

    David, 31, explains: "It came to me after our car hit a giant pothole and it cost us hundreds of dollars to repair the damage.

    "There was nothing we could do about it even though it was very annoying - so we decided to turn that frustration into a positive project.

    "We tried to visualise potholes and incorporate them into props instead of car-wrecking monsters.

    "The hole we drove into was so deep that we imagined a woman using it to wash her clothes.

    "Soon we realised that there were a whole load of scenarios and began our looking at them in a different way.

    "We have had hundreds of e-mails from people in Britain who have told us about their potholes - we would love to shoot over there.

    "It would be inspiring to see the people and the culture and find innovative ways of using the holes in the road - and you have plenty."
