Using lindahoyland's post Prefect Matches - A sort of friending MEME, I found some new friends: christina_maria, curiouswombat, elwenlj, lab_jazz, manue7a, mrowe verdande_mi and wiseheart. To welcome you all to my flist I'm reposting this video.

Dutch artist Theo Jansen created this fantastic creature. It moves along the beach all by itself, driven by the wind.
Watch the video below. It's magical.

I've seen a couple of short snippets of these before but I had no idea he had created so many. They are so amazing and quite magical to watch in action.

They seem to be alive....

Thanks!

The add was a bonus. ;-)

He has created living creatures.

Magical indeed! Is this one creature, changing its shape, or several different ones?

They are all constructed from small plastic modules that are designed to transfer wind power into movement.
Glad you liked it.
