Hello, another abandoned Category is "Nature's Balanced Rocks". No member online since 5 weeks... Greetings, Andrea

Hi, I think, this would be a very interesting new category! In Germany, it's called "Marktkreuz" and there is a famous market cross on the market in Trier, the oldest german town. Here a link from wikipedia: http://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hauptmarkt_%28Trier%29#mediaviewer/File:Trier_Marktkreuz.jpg In my opinion, the best advantage from Waymarking is exactly to find such unknown points, around the world! So, I agree this new category! Best greetings, Andrea

This looks great! Thank you so much! :-)

Okay, but in category grid, the icons are really very small and tiny. So I think, "simple" is perhaps "more clearly" and better to realize.

I think, I will begin to try it! Thanks all supporters for supporting my idea! @BruceS: And sorry, Bruce, for my obstinateness.

Great!

I think, this is a very interesting category! I often saw handmade insect hotels, made with love and passion... and I didn't know, in which category I should waymark it. So I agree this category!

Hello, sorry for the late answer, we were in holidays... looking for new waymarks. Well, I think, there are a lot of possible categories for Humming Stones: - Abstract Public Sculptures (yes, of course, it's an abstract public sculpture, but a very special one) - Kinetic Sculpture and Art (there is said: "1. The piece must use kinetic motion as a central part of the artist’s intention." --> what about Humming Stones, the piece is not in motion, it's your body! The piece is just a stone with hole in it.) - Outdoor Interactive Science Displays (but is to hum a "science"? and is a stone a "display"?) - Sit-by-me Statues (can a stone be a "statue"?) - Musical Instruments (yes, of course, it's also a musical instrument, but a very special one) - Outdoor Wind Harps (not really, because the Stone and your hummmmmmm makes the sound, not the wind) I think, some categories are according, but no categorie is exactly the right... So why not create a new one? Meantime, I found in www. a lot of Humming Stones and all over the world. So I'm sure, that there is no prevalence problem. I think, the new categorie could be a very good possibility to find and to show them! Best greetings and thanks for your reflections, Andrea

I think, the category "Kinetic Sculpture" is not the right place, because there is no movement... it's just a Stone with hole in it! And the sound comes only from yourself, when you start humming with your head inside the stone. ;-) If the Humming Stones are very rare in USA, this new category could be a good chance to find them. :-) Best greetings, Andrea

I have found on the internet "Humming Stones" in Germany (also in South Bavaria: "Genuss-Erlebnisweg Zugspitze" ), Switzerland, Austria, UK. Wikipedia says, there are historical ones in Malta and Bretagne/France. Question: Are this Stones also in USA, Canada, Australia, Asia, Africa? Or just in Europe? Perhaps the name is not "Humming" Stone, but other? I'm not sure about the correct translation. In German, they are named "Summsteine".

Hi, dear community and Waymarking friends, first: sorry my english. What do you think about "Humming Stones" (in german: "Summsteine") for new Category? You can find it in science parks, museums, on public places or schoolyards, and it's a great pleasure to use it. I love them! The discription is: "Put your head in the hollow of the stone and hum different notes. When you hit the right note, you will feel a gentle vibrating sensation in your body. The result is a harmonious feeling of well-being." If you don't know, what I mean: here are some examples, found in www: http://www.google.de/search?um=1&hl=de&q=summstein&bav=on.2,or.r_qf.&bvm=bv.49967636,d.bGE,pv.xjs.s.en_US.jOYpRJj4zMA.O&biw=1920&bih=910&ie=UTF-8&tbm=isch&source=og&sa=N&tab=wi&ei=CR_4UbWzBoTG4gTfoYDIAg There are a lot of this stones in Germany and I have seen it also in UK, but I'm not sure, wether there are all the world... So, what do YOU mean? Thanks for listening and for reflection, and best greetings from Germany, Andrea

Good idea! A statistic, that shows just the keyboard activity is not useful. But to visit waymarks on 366 different days, this will be a great challenge for us!

Good idea, I think! There are a lot of this in Germany, here some examples: Krefeld Bremerhaven Ulm Greetings, Andrea
