Historical fountains and water features have sparked the interest of contemporary designers as well as fountain designers. Therefore, in order to connect your home to previous times, include one these in your home decor. Among the many properties of these beautiful garden water features is the water and moisture they discharge into the air which attracts birds and other wild life as well as helps to balance the ecosystem. For instance, pesky flying insects are usually discouraged by the birds attracted to the fountain or birdbath.

Wall fountains are a good choice if your yard is small because they do not require much space in comparison to a spouting or cascading fountain. Either a freestanding fountain with an even back and an attached basin set 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. Both a fountain mask placed on the existing wall as well as a basin located at the bottom to collect the water are equired if you wish to add a fountain. The plumbing and masonry work necessary for this kind of job requires training, so it is best to employ a skilled person rather than go at it yourself.

The Magificent First Wonders by Bernini

The Magificent First Wonders by Bernini The Barcaccia, a stunning water fountain constructed at the base of the Trinita dei Monti in Piaza di Spagna, was Bernini's earliest fountain. Roman locals and site seers who appreciate verbal exchanges as well as being the company of others still flood this spot. The streets neighboring his fountain have come to be one of the city’s most trendy gathering places, something which would certainly have pleased Bernini himself. In about 1630, the great artist designed the first fountain of his career at the behest of Pope Ubano VIII. Magificent First Wonders Bernini 187010242214695564.jpg

People can now see the fountain as a depiction of a great ship slowly sinking into the Mediterranean Sea. According to 16th century reports, a great flood of the Tevere covered the entire area in water, an event which was commemorated by the eye-catching fountain. In 1665, France was graced by Bernini's only extended voyage outside of Italy.

Anglo Saxon Landscapes at the Time of the Norman Conquest

Anglo Saxon Landscapes at the Time of the Norman Conquest The Anglo-Saxon way of life was dramatically changed by the arrival of the Normans in the later eleventh century. At the time of the conquest, the Normans surpassed the Anglo-Saxons in building design and cultivation. But before concentrating on home-life or having the occasion to think about domestic architecture or decoration, the Normans had to subjugate an entire society. Monasteries and castles served separate purposes, so while monasteries were massive stone structures built in only the most fruitful, wide dales, castles were set upon blustery knolls where the residents focused on understanding offensive and defensive tactics. The tranquil practice of gardening was impractical in these dismal bastions. Berkeley Castle is probably the most complete model in existence at present of the early Anglo-Norman form of architecture. The keep is thought to date from the time of William the Conqueror. A massive terrace serves as a discouraging factor to intruders who would try to mine the walls of the building. A picturesque bowling green, covered in grass and enclosed by battlements clipped out of an ancient yew hedge, creates one of the terraces.
