The sun made it very hard to get good shots.
But wew saw a few ideas and realized that "big" is not always better.

Is it REAL? or Just 1:29 scale?

Hey Marty,
That sure is a lot of work done there. Naomi and I attended a pond seminar last year. They managed to talk us out of it when we saw what was involved! Thanks for the pics. Later eh...Brian.

Hmm, interesting stuff Marty. Not sure if I like them or not. I admire the amount of work that has gone into them but they don't look like they 'belong', if you know what I mean.
Cheers,
Kim

I'm with Kim it looks pretty artificial to me and the work and money may not be worth the result. But you never know with these things, how somthing like this starts and how it ends up after a few years of growth can be two very different things.


Not up to your usual standard i think.

Its true that most of these are less than two years old. many have "perfect" yards also.
But you can get ideas from just about evrything.

I am also not sure if I like it or not. One thing I found out is that things look different in real life than in a photo. I'm sure in context of real life the water features are very nice. As Ian said, in a few years the look may be different once everything grows in.

Still very nice work and a good base for stealing ideas, um er, I mean gaining inspiration from.[swg]
