Taraborelli

Good Things take a long time.

I was supposed to start this one last fall, but the weather prevented that.

So this summer, 2004, I created my largest waterfall into a pool, and my best as you can see.

It's on a foundation, separate from the pool, and is also resting on the edge of the pool. The pool edge was specially reinforced to do this. I also redesigned the pool to accommodate the falls, this is easy to do with a concrete pool.

The "coves" allow the rocks to overhang more and create an echo chamber to amplify and direct the sound, much like a speaker.

sorry I have no pictures of when I'm stacking the stones I was too busy with the "engineering".

Below are the pool ceramic layers, it shows the size of the pool and stones.

 They had to wait for me so that they could do their bit .
