Pimp my Pump: Paška čipka Traditional Geocache

This cache has been archived.

ArizonaSmith: The pump is not pimped anymore, so really no point in this cache. Sad, but caches should take you to some interesting places, which this place is no more. Goodbye!

Geocache Description:



For the story behind Pimp my Pump crew, all references, info, water pumps, and projects check Pimp my Pump: The Headquarters geocache, all the PmP news and a complete list of all pimped pumps will be there, up to date. Also, paint on the pumps, and especially on the floor, unfortunately deteriorates with time, so the pumps can be rather different looking than their pictures in the listing...

EN: Now, this is FAR, you might say when you finally reach this pump. It was painted to resemble the lace that women (mostly in Dalmatia) make and put under the vases, souvenirs and other household items. It’s a tradition, and the most famous lace from these parts comes from the island of Pag, hence the title (“Pag’s lace”).
Unfortunately, this pump has been painted a while ago, so being an active pump (with running water), this shows. All the painting from the floor is sadly gone, only the nice pictures remain from it. But I hope you will appreciate the never-ending creativity of the PmP crew. Enjoy!

HR: OK, ova pumpa je STVARNO daleko, reći ćete sigurno vi, kad konačno dođete do nje. Dizajn pumpe je čipkasti tabletić, koji se (samo ime kaže) drži na stolićima kao podloga raznim suvenirima, vazama i slično, ali i na starim televizorima s katodnim cijevima, pri čemu je jedan rub obavezno morao padati i zaklanjati gornji dio ekrana. Uvođenjem flat screen televizora, industrija tabletića je (pretpostavljam) doživjela šok, od kojeg se nikad nije oporavila. I neka ova pumpa bude podsjetnik na stara, dobra vremena, kad je na svakom televizoru u pristojnoj kući bio tabletić s vazom (ili drvenom čapljom, na kojoj je pisalo „Hvar '79“).
Na žalost, ova pumpa je ofarbana prije dosta vremena, a kako je i aktivna (ima tekuće vode), to se i vidi. Šare na podu su nepovratno izbrisane, od njih ostaju samo lijepe slike. No, nadam se da ćete cijeniti nepresušni talent PmP ekipe koji je ukrasio i ovu pumpu. Uživajte!

Za priču o Pimp my Pump ekipi, reference, informacije, ofarbane gradske pumpe, i ostale projekte provjerite Pimp my Pump: The Headquarters geocache, sve PmP vijesti te kompletna recentna lista spimpanih pumpi će biti tamo. Isto tako, boje na pumpama, a pogotovo na podu, nažalost blijede s vremenom, pa pumpe mogu izgledati dosta drugačije nego njihove slike u listingu...
