Night time is a great time to draw attention to the lighted, colored underwater lights in your new water feature.

The area outside your residence can be enhanced by adding a wall or a garden fountain to your landscaping or garden project. Many contemporary designers and artisans have been inspired by historical fountains and water features. As such, the impact of adding one of these to your home decor bridges it to past times. In addition to the positive attributes of garden fountains, they also generate water and moisture which goes into the air, thereby, drawing in birds as well as other creatures and harmonizing the environment. Flying, annoying insects, for instance, are scared away by the birds congregating near the fountain or birdbath.

Spouting or cascading fountains are not the best option for a small backyard since they occupy a great deal of space. Either a stand-alone fountain with an even back and an attached basin placed against a fence or a wall, or a wall-mounted style which is self-contained and hangs on a wall, are some of the options from which you can choose. Adding a fountain to an existing wall requires that you include a fountain mask as well as a basin at the base to gather the water. Since the plumbing and masonry work is extensive to complete this type of job, you should hire a professional to do it rather than try to do it alone.

"Primitive" Greek Art: Outdoor Statuary

"Primitive" Greek Art: Outdoor Statuary Up until the Archaic Greeks provided the first freestanding statuary, a noteworthy achievement, carvings had largely been completed in walls and pillars as reliefs. Youthful, ideal male or female (kore) Greeks were the subject matter of most of the statues, or kouros figures. Considered by Greeks to represent beauty, the kouroi were created into firm, forward facing poses with one foot outstretched, and the male statues were always nude, brawny, and athletic. Around 650 BC, life-sized forms of the kouroi began to be seen. The Archaic period was tumultuous for the Greeks as they progressed into more polished forms of government and art, and gained more data about the peoples and civilizations outside of Greece. Nevertheless, the Greek civilization was not slowed down by these battles.
