Mr. Drysdale, Granny just saw a post on FR
and now she wants a new cement pond out yander.
This is the American way in which wealth is “redistributed.”
I hate to see the electric bill unless they use the running water to generate electricity.
It just impresses me as particularly mundane. If you are to make such a thing, the aesthetics are strongly enhanced by it doing something utilitarian, or at least not just ordinary, but extraordinary aesthetics.
For example, there are inexpensive non-glycerine ultrasonic fog generators that on a still, cool morning could create a pleasing “fog waterfall” or interesting mist. There could be artificial wet caves with interesting flora.
The British used to create “fake ruins” that were intended to look overgrown and “returning to nature”, as pleasant, contemplative places.
Fantastic. It seems like it would have been cheaper to actually buy a house near a creek.
Oprah lives somewhere in that area.
Can you imagine the carbon credits for that thing?
Very nice.
Nice free commercial for your friends Brian and Ed.
I had a friend in Queensland who owned a landscaping company. He was building himself a river that ran down the side of his property, with waterfalls along the way, and planted palm trees and other jungly and flowery growth. He wasn’t quite finished when we were there, but he did turn it on for us to get an idea. It was a little bit of paradise.
Wow! My 1200 gallon Koi pond with a 6ft. waterfall can’t compare. Of course I never spent that much money on it, but it sometimes feels like it.
