Indoor Waterfall Water Feature Fountain - Features / Waterfalls / Fountains
Indoor waterfalls dramatically improve ambiance by bringing the sights and sounds of a modern waterfall into your home or office. The sound of indoor fountains are associated with beautiful nature settings, peaceful vacations and meditative tranquility. An indoor waterfall can provide many health benefits as well. The flow of water captures airborne particles and dust from the air. The slow evaporation of water releases beneficial negative ions into the air and acts as a natural humidifier. For more sensitive environments or healthcare settings we offer a line of indoor fountains incorporating specialized precautions against bacteria and microorganisms. These options include Saniguard coatings, ultraviolet light sterilization systems and reverse osmosis systems.

Kickstart technical staff examining the V-brakes on our Worldbike prototype. A simple but proven technology, V-brakes would make a huge difference here in Kenya, but even blockbuster innovations may not reach this far if they are disruptive to business interests. In this case the business interest is the thriving sales of low-quality brake pads for rod brakes.
'Entertaining the environment'
Featuring Erin Manning, Riki-Metisse Marlow, Laura Woodward, Bryan Cera, Tony Falla, Nathaniel Stern, Kent Wilson & Andrew Goodman.
Opening Tuesday 30 October 6-8pm
Tuesday 30 October – Saturday 17 November 2012
Entertaining the environment brings together a group of Australian and international artists to explore the concept that an artwork might reject a contract of exchange with a viewer. Instead of accepting the entertainment of the audience as an obligatory, primary relationship, this exhibition proposes a more modest ambition – the artwork’s acquisition of agency for the purposes of entertaining themselves and/or their environment.
This does not imply a nihilistic denial of the possibility of engaging the viewer but rather that any such engagement sits in excess to the aim of an immersion in the field of unfolding experience, and the exploration of the non-human scales of attention and timeframes within an art event.
Within the exhibition the artists explore a number of techniques that question the position of the spectator, the role of technology in art and the possibilities for a more complex and intertwined bodily relation in the creation of an art event.
The exhibition at the Bus Projects is the third iteration of the exhibition, following shows at the Phoenix Gallery at Deakin University and the La Trobe Visual Arts Centre.”

Arctostaphylos sp. - manzanita tree in California, USA.
Plants are multicellular, photosynthesizing eucaryotes. Most species occupy terrestrial environments, but they also occur in freshwater and saltwater aquatic environments. The oldest known land plants in the fossil record are Ordovician to Silurian. Land plant body fossils are known in Silurian sedimentary rocks - they are small and simple plants (e.g., Cooksonia). Fossil root traces in paleosol horizons are known in the Ordovician. During the Devonian, the first trees and forests appeared. Earth's initial forestation event occurred during the Middle to Late Paleozoic. Earth's continents have been partly to mostly covered with forests ever since the Late Devonian. Occasional mass extinction events temporarily removed much of Earth's plant ecosystems - this occurred at the Permian-Triassic boundary (251 million years ago) and the Cretaceous-Tertiary boundary (65 million years ago).
The most conspicuous group of living plants is the angiosperms, the flowering plants. They first unambiguously appeared in the fossil record during the Cretaceous. They quickly dominated Earth's terrestrial ecosystems, and have dominated ever since. This domination was due to the evolutionary success of flowers, which are structures that greatly aid angiosperm reproduction.
Manzanita trees are angiosperms that occur in Mexico, western America, and southwestern Canada. They are distinctive in having red-colored bark that curls and peels off.
Classification: Plantae, Angiospermophyta, Ericales, Ericaceae
Locality: grounds of Calistoga Petrified Forest, northern side of Petrified Forest Road, west-southwest of the town of Calistoga, eastern Sonoma County, Coast Ranges of northwest-central California, USA

Tenerife. Puerto de la Cruz.
Bougainvillea flowers are small yellow white waxy tubes that aren't very impressive. However they are surrounded by three 1-2 in (2.5-5.1 cm) long papery bracts and it is these that are responsible for the colorful displays for which this genus is famous.

The Risco Bello Aquatic Gardens
The right of the main facade of the Hotel Taoro is one of the most beautiful gardens of Puerto de la Cruz . The current Risco Bello has two farms purchased by D. René de Radiguès in 1969 and 1974 respectively. The first, which belonged to the family of Peter and Magdalena Fernández Ritzen , Risco Bello was the House , which includes the eastern part of the current garden. This family house built on lava and basalt, devoting part of the farm to banana cultivation . The second , called the Caledonia House , belonged to the Reid family , English family owns an import-export business . Located in the western part of the current garden, nearest to Hotel Taoro , consisted of a British colonial style house with over sixty years of history. It was in this building it and Reid had introduced some specimens of flowers and exotic plants.
The Belgian couple arrived in Tenerife in search of the beloved climate that benefits the health of Anna Maria , wife of Rene , who came to recover fully from their disease. René design the garden as an act of love for her , working up to eighty years in restoring homes and the creation of the garden, which later transformed into water due to water supply problems of the time. It generated a real microclimate able to feed themselves .
After eighteen years at Tenerife, in gratitude for the happiness you gave them the island , they decided to share with the world the beauty of this little paradise , opening to the public in 1988.
The farm , about two acres , is divided into five terraces , from which a privileged view over the Orotava Valley and much of the north coast is appreciated , and can even be spotted in days of prosperity the island of La Palma.
This garden has a collection of five hundred exotic , tropical and subtropical plants, which are increasing day by day thanks to the collaboration of collectors family friends . It is now anticipated that about a hundred new specimens unknown on the island are incorporated.
In the five terraces, of different styles, water treatment is combined with lush vegetation , giving appointment suspension bridges , waterfalls , caves and fountains, creating an environment of genuine dream .
The first of the terraces introduces visitors to a tranquil garden with a pergola in the center and a water fountain inside. The first of the lakes , next to a lovely terrace - café, and gives an idea of beauty that hide these gardens. At a second level access the second of them , the largest , where we can enjoy an extensive collection of exotic fruit trees and a scenic bridge over the lake. Bordering the pond crossed a cave over which falls a waterfall that feeds the lake.
The third , planted with acacias , mimosas and palm trees, is decorated with rustic pools . Then we access the most personal of the terraces. Riddled with huge jars in and out of the pond, impresses with its profuse aquatic vegetation which include water lilies and papyrus . In the last garden sticking her Japanese-inspired bridge half hidden in thick vegetation .
Throughout the tour, ducks, geese , pigeons and geese enjoy mingling with visitors.
Usually described as a small corner of paradise , or aquatic as authentic poetry, also César Manrique, a family friend , was fascinated by the beauty of these gardens , described by him as " Symphony in Green " . One of its current owners , Bernadette of Radiguès , remember the words spoken by his father praising Manrique its work to respect the natural environment : "I am the artist of white , gray , blue and black colors To you I give the prize. the green gardens of Canary
