fishandchips Posted June 11, 2008 Report Share Posted June 11, 2008 Just some rando photos that people may enjoy looking at :bounce: The first three are of a water fall my father, brothers and I built over the summer. It feeds into a very large pond, roughly 1.5 acres (will find some photos sometime soon of it) This one is my most recent build. It is a 4 footer with ugj's. It is housing e.yellows and some randoms at the moment but will hopefully soon be a species only tank with Neolamprologus Brichardi in it. This is my puppy Ollie, purebreed bordercollie. not really a puppy anymore but still in my eyes. This is my parents dog, Boss. He is a German shepard, he is a BIG sook! He is still a puppy as well. These are some shots with my camera using the macro settings. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fishandchips Posted June 11, 2008 Author Report Share Posted June 11, 2008 Please forgive the photos but they are the best I can do at the moment. This were taken close to two years ago and do not do the pond justice. There has been a lot more planting which I will take photos of this coming summer. (You wont see the water fall as it was still an idea) The photos kinda follow the pond from one end to the other. Things to look out for: - Three wooden bridges - One rock bridge - Jetty (maybe boat) Here is a screen shot of Google maps showing the size of the pond. Please enjoy the photos. This is the start I guess, mostly a swampy type area. Please feel free to ask questions. We are water feature made around this place. We have 3 fountains, pond and another formal garden with fountain on the way :bounce: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fishandchips Posted June 12, 2008 Author Report Share Posted June 12, 2008 That is cool. Do you have a pet croc in the marshy part? Sadly the only thing that lives there is a couple of gold fish in summer Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
