onecrazycanadian: Hi,

I'm archiving this listing since it's been at least 2 weeks since I last contacted you and there has been no response. If you correct the problem I indicated at some time in the near future I will take another look at it and may consider unarchiving the cache.

Thanks

Geocache Description:

This is a place showed to me by a good friend of mine. One of Winnipeg's secret treasures. Stand on the sweet SPOT and then, with the statue at your back, face the semi-circular bench and say hello. As you move closer and farther from the sweet spot keep talking and you will hear how your voice changes in resonance with the acoustics. One of my fave places in Winnipeg and i thought i would share with everyone out there.

NOTE: Co-ords are a bit off due to the three high-rises surrounding the sweet spot, but they will get you close enough. The cache is a nano and placed within three meters of the Sweet Spot. Due to its small size, please write as small as possible. Thank you.

Historical Notes: Humans have been using acoustics for thousands of years before modern technology was around. Stonehenge, for example, was built as a dance arena for prehistoric "samba-style" raves, according to a study of the acoustics of the 5,000-year-old stone circle. Using cutting-edge technology, Rupert Till, an expert in acoustics and music technology at Huddersfield University in northern England, discovered that Stonehenge's megaliths reflect sound perfectly, making the stone circle an ideal setting for listening to repetitive trance rhythms. Till and colleague Bruno Fazenda first carried out mathematical analysis of the archaeological site to make predictions of its acoustic effects. Their aim was to look at Stonehenge as it was thousands of years ago, rather than limit their work to the remaining acoustic properties of the semi-collapsed site. (visit link)
