Visually, the finished look is one of pure line with few design elements. The atmosphere is one of pure tranquillity during the day; the reflection of sky in the water and very little to distract the eye. At night the lighting scheme creates a magical pathway fading into the distance, and always there is the gentle sound of running water.
Part of a larger scheme, these clients wanted an ultra-simple, minimalist waterfeature on two levels. The main material used was a pale cream Travertine detailed with a dark slate-grey.
At the lower level, a canal runs across the garden. The main steps are accessed by stepping stones across the water.
The upper level features two rills. Water flows away from the house and cascades via two stainless steel waterfalls onto the lower level beyond, aerating and purifying. The paving features LED flush lighting to highlight the edge of the scheme and the steps and all three bodies of water are floodlit discreetly below the water surface.
The only plant material is six ball-shaped box trees, providing a simple, sculptural look to this otherwise angular scheme.

Yes, this is THE iconic, original Little Deuce Coupe featured on the Beach Boys' album cover! (Seen here)
From Wikipedia:"The picture featured on the front cover of the album was supplied by Hot Rod magazine, and features the body (with his head cropped in the photo) of hod-rod owner Clarence 'Chili' Catallo and his own customized three-window 1932 Ford Coupe - known forevermore amongst hot rod enthusiasts as "the lil' deuce coupe". A full shot of Catallo and his car from the same photo shoot appeared on the front cover of the July 1961 edition of Hot Rod magazine, and whilst Catallo himself died in 1998 the car still tours the showrooms and exhibitions to this day.
Catallo bought the vehicle in 1956 for $75 in Michigan when he was 15 years old. Catallo replaced the original stock Ford engine (unlike The Beach Boys song lyrics, which mention "a flathead mill") with a newer Oldsmobile V-8, and lowered the height of the coupe by six inches. Much of the original customizing work, including the stacked headlights, side trim, and front grille was done by an auto shop owned by Mike and Larry Alexander in the Detroit suburb of Southfield.
After Catallo moved to Southern California, additional work, including the 'chopping' or lowering of the roof, was done in 1960-61 at 'Kustom City', George Barris's noted North Hollywood auto customizing shop. This led to the magazine cover and two years later, the shot was featured as the cover for The Beach Boys' fourth album.
Catallo sold the coupe a few years later, but at the urging of his son Curt was able to buy it back in the late 90s for $40,000. The car had since been additionally modified but was restored by Catallo with many of the original parts the coupe had in the early 1960s, so that it now is again virtually identical to the famous photo. In 2000, the hot rod won the 'People's Choice' award at the Meadow Brook Concours d'Elegance."

The ladies attending the 2011 Mother Daughter Retreat getting ready to go off-roading (well, fire-roading to be exact) up the backside of Sunshine Mountain in Hume's fleet of Suzuki Samurai's.
While off-road tours haven't always been part of women's retreats at Hume Lake, they've grown in popularity ever since they were introduced—by popular demand!
Come join us this year for a weekend retreat, family vacation, or romantic getaway!
Men on a Mission are making quick work of what will be a most welcome expansion of the Ponderosa deck.
In the back left you can see Ponderosa Lodge, one of the original buildings on the grounds when Hume Lake Christian Camps first purchased the property back in 1946.
This deck will be used by over 10,000 people this Summer as they enjoy their refreshments from Hume'N'Beans and the FroSo while taking in the majestic view of Hume Lake, Wren Peak, and the mountains beyond.

It may not be a major photo or anything, but the fact my photo got into Playboy is a big deal to me. Maybe one day all this work will pay off
In preparation for Summer, the ice skates are being taken out of the the Ark (Hume Lake's covered gaming area), and the roller/inline skates are being moved in.
Located in between Meadow Ranch lawn and The Pond, the Ark is a hub of activity all year long. During the Winter, it's home to Hume's famous broom hockey tournaments, and during the Summer junior high students play countless games of basketball, foosball, and ping-pong—not to mention the ridiculously fun team recreation games that go on there.
This photo feature was prepared c2008 for a magazine specialising in Maltese transport, and subsequently re-formatted for a personal project. The full text follows:
"A development of the Dennis Lance, the SLF (super low floor) model was built between 1993 and 1996. Most of the 105 built had Wright Pathfinder bodies, including 38 dual-door buses delivered to London Buses in 1994. Amongst the last buses bought before the company was privatised, they were one of the first low-floor types supplied to a British operator. They were later operated by UK North in Manchester, but stored after that operator’s demise. Closely following the initial four Leyland Lynxes, three of the former London Dennis Lance SLFs (L32/4/8 WLH) were imported into Malta in April 2007, introducing the products of a bodybuilder new to the Maltese market. Two found immediate buyers, whilst the third spend some time in a dealer’s yard. Having reportedly arrived in very poor condition, all three have benefited from major rebuilding, which has included removal of the centre door. DBY 337 (L34 WLH) was the first to enter service in November 2007 after extensive rebuilding at Scarnif Coachworks; it is owned by ‘Bananeno’ of Mellieha. FBY 699 (L38 WLH) also spent some time at Scarnif but much of the work was carried out by owner, Albert Camilleri of Naxxar. FBY 732 (L32 WLH) was rebuilt by John Galea of St Paul's Bay and sprayed by Cancu; it is owned by Nenu Abela. The Lances were in turn followed by a pair of Alexander-bodied Volvo B6Rs, giving rise to much debate about which of the three new types are best suited to Maltese operating conditions. All pictures were taken by Peter Skerry and Stuart Harvey".

This is a slightly reworked version of a feature published in a Malta transport magazine a few years ago. The text is as follows:
"The ‘sunshine yellow’ livery of Bournemouth Corporation was a welcome sight to the many holidaymakers arriving on the Bournemouth Belle express train. The buses were special too, like the 1954 Burlingham-bodied Leyland Royal Tigers with dual-doors and roof quarter lights - an unusual combination of features that was typical of this gentile ‘up-market’ resort. The splendid period view (top) shows NLJ 270 after conversation to 40-seat single-door layout. It was taken in July 1968 near to the pier in Boscombe by Steve Smith".
"We are uncertain when the chassis was exported to Malta, but it had entered service as private bus 3357 with a 36-seat Caruana body in 1975. The second view by David Little was taken in 1981, by which time it had been re-registered A-3357. It was later rebuilt as a 45-seat route bus and operated in green livery until at least 1995. By 1997 it was stored, repainted yellow. It re-entered service as EBY 620 in 2007 fitted with a Leyland TL11 engine. The final views were taken by the author in 2008. The full registration history is as follows: NLJ 270, 3357, A-3357, Y-1556, Y-0856, Y-0620, EBY 620".

Each year Hume Lake is stocked with trout by Hume Lake Christian Camps and the Department of Fish & Game.
Typically the newly planted fish join the surviving fish from previous years. However, this past Fall the lake was completely drained in order to replace a leaky valve on the dam. This meant that when the lake filled back up this Spring there were absolutely no fish in it!
In addition to providing recreational fishing for the general public the stocked lake also makes it possible for Hume Lake to host our annual Fishermen's Retreats.

Olympics (Portuguese: Jogos Olímpicos de Verão de 2016),officially known as the Games of the XXXI Olympiad and commonly known as Rio 2016, was a major international multi-sport event held in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, from 5 August to 21 August 2016.
More than 11,000 athletes from 207 National Olympic Committees, including first time entrants Kosovo, South Sudan, and the Refugee Olympic Team, took part. With 306 sets of medals, the games featured 28 Olympic sports, including rugby sevens and golf, which were added to the Olympic program in 2009. These sporting events took place at 33 venues in the host city, and at five in São Paulo, Belo Horizonte, Salvador, Brasília, and Manaus.
These were the first Summer Olympic Games under the International Olympic Committee (IOC) presidency of Thomas Bach. The host city Rio de Janeiro was announced at the 121st IOC Session in Copenhagen, Denmark, on 2 October 2009. Rio became the first South American city to host the Summer Olympics. These were the first games to be held in a Portuguese-speaking country, the first to be held entirely in the host country's winter, the first since 1968 to be held in Latin America, and the first since 2000 to be held in the Southern Hemisphere.
The lead-up to these Games was marked by controversies, including the instability of the country's federal government; health and safety concerns surrounding the Zika virus and significant pollution in the Guanabara Bay; and a doping scandal involving Russia, which has affected the participation of its athletes in the Games.
The United States topped the medal table for the fifth time in the past six Summer Olympics, winning the most golds (46) and most medals overall (121), as well as its 1,000th Olympic gold medal overall. Great Britain finished second and became the first country in the history of the modern Olympics to increase its tally of medals in the subsequent games after being the host nation. China finished third. Host country Brazil won seven gold medals, its most at any single Summer Olympics, finishing in thirteenth place. Fiji, Jordan, Kosovo, Puerto Rico, Singapore, Tajikistan, Ivory Coast and Vietnam each won their first gold medals, as did the group of Independent Olympic Athletes (from Kuwait).
ogos Olímpicos de 2016 conhecidos oficialmente como os Jogos da XXXI Olimpíada, mais comumente Rio 2016, foi um evento multiesportivo realizado no segundo semestre de 2016, na cidade do Rio de Janeiro, capital do estado homônimo, no Brasil.
A escolha da sede foi feita durante a 121ª Sessão do Comitê Olímpico Internacional, que aconteceu em Copenhague, Dinamarca, em 2 de outubro de 2009. Foram os primeiros Jogos Olímpicos de Verão sob a presidência de Thomas Bach. e a oitava vez que o Brasil acolheu um grande evento multiesportivo. Foi a primeira edição dos Jogos Olímpicos sediados na América do Sul e a segunda na América Latina e nos trópicos, depois da Cidade do México 1968. Foi ainda a quarta vez que uns Jogos Olímpicos de Verão ocorreram em uma estação climática diferente (Sydney 2000 foi parcialmente no inverno e na primavera australiana, e Tóquio 1964 e Cidade do México 1968 no outono), mas a primeira que decorreram integralmente no inverno local. Pois os Jogos Rio 2016 ocorreram durante o inverno brasileiro, uma vez que a cidade localiza-se no hemisfério sul.
O evento decorreu no período de 5 a 21 de agosto de 2016 e as Paralimpíadas ocorreram entre 7 e 18 de setembro desse ano, na mesma cidade e com organização do mesmo comitê. O local de abertura e encerramento foi no Estádio do Maracanã, sendo a primeira vez, desde os Jogos Olímpicos de Verão de 1900 que a Cerimônia de abertura aconteceu num local diferente de onde foram realizadas as competições de atletismo, e contou com a presença de diversas celebridades como a modelo Gisele Bündchen e os cantores Anitta, Gilberto Gil e Caetano Veloso. Realizaram-se 306 disputas de medalhas em 28 esportes divididos em 42 modalidades, duas a mais em relação aos Jogos Olímpicos de Verão de 2012. O Comitê Executivo do COI sugeriu as inclusões do rugby sevens e do golfe, que foram aprovados durante a 121ª Sessão.
Os Estados Unidos terminaram os Jogos na primeira colocação do quadro de medalhas pela quinta vez consecutiva, tendo a maioria das medalhas de ouro (46) e maior número de medalhas no geral (121). A Grã-Bretanha terminou em segundo e a China em terceiro. O Brasil ganhou 7 medalhas de ouro, e 19 no total, sendo o maior número de medalhas conquistadas pelo país na história das Olimpíadas, terminando em décimo terceiro lugar. Esta edição dos Jogos também premiou com a medalha de ouro pela primeira vez os países de Fiji, Kosovo, Porto Rico, Singapura, Tadjiquistão, Vietnã e para os atletas independentes do Kuwait, além do recorde de 1000 medalhas de ouro olímpicas para os Estados Unidos.

Part of a Set / Slideshow of images of an installation called Dispersing Fashion by Stephanie Lawrence.
Dispersing Fashion
"Witness a time-based process of destruction that explores environmental issues."
An art installation comprising dresses made from a water dissolving material. Water slowly drips from bladders suspend above the dresses, and collects in shallow trays / pools.
By Stephanie Lawrence

Performance and Visual Art: Dance
"My work is a manifestation of environmental politics; an expression of my concerns about deforestation that initiated from an inspirational trip to Malaysia / Borneo. One concern is the reluctance people have to use water efficiently, which
contributes to global warming and other environmental problems such as; the droughts we are experiencing in the UK.
Three dresses within the work act as a metaphor for the gradual destruction of the world we live in. The dripping taps we leave on in everyday life is represented through the three shower heads, which slowly destroy each dress revealing the damaging effects our everyday actions contribute to.
Over the two hour duration of the work you are encourage to revisit this steadily shifting environment.
The water used within this project will be recycled into the university pond after use."
