We must never forget why we have, and why we need our military. Our armed forces exist solely to ensure our nation is safe, so that each and every one of us can sleep soundly at night, knowing we have "guardians at the gate."

People talk of Gwadar as Germans talk about Hitler: an idea paved with danger, an area full with killer men. That's not true. It is one more example of negative publicity gone right by various elements like American CIA, Indian RAW, maybe Dubai people who don't want Gwadar up and running for they fear their port's demise. And off course we all know how many Pakistanis talk about their own country.
Gwadar, and most importantly for a photojournalist like myself, the highway which leads to it (Coastal Highway built by FWO) is a marvel unto itself. It needs to be traversed again and again and only then you can realize its ultimate beauty.

Types of Outdoor Fountains
It is a common mistake to think that there is only one type of yard water fountain. In fact, there are two main outdoor fountain types : seasonal and year round outdoor fountains.
Seasonal Outdoor Fountains. These types of fountains are the most common type of outdoor fountains. These fountains use re-circulated water to keep the fountain working. Seasonal fountains, however, must be shut down in the winter in places that experience freezing temperatures. If left on in the cold winter, the water can freeze, damaging the fountain. The two types of seasonal fountains include the waterfall fountain and the pedestal fountain. The waterfall fountain is just as it sounds, it features the classical cascade of water. Pedestal fountains feature multiple tiers of flat, bird-bath shaped bowls whereby water cascades down into the bowl of the level below it.
Year Round Outdoor Fountains. Unlike seasonal fountains, year round fountains can be used all year, including in the cold of winter due to their built-in heating system. The two types of year round fountains are solar outdoor fountains and electrical wall fountains. Solar outdoor fountains have solar panels mounted to them to capture and utilize the energy from sunlight to heat the water. Electrical outdoor wall fountains heat the water with electricity. These fountains require to be placed near an electrical outlet in the winter time. In the warm months electrical outdoor wall fountains don’t need to be plugged into an outlet as the water doesn’t need to be heated.
How to Select the Right Outdoor Fountain
As not all outdoor fountains are the same, there are some factors to consider when deciding which fountain complements your space and expresses your unique personal style. Below are some of the basic fountain characteristics to consider and look at:
Fountain Style. Do you want a classical-looking fountain or one that is modern in appearance? A classical fountain, like this 4 Tier Fountain by Henri Studio, is more elegant and formal in appearance while a modern fountain can be seen as either more professional or more laid back and unique. Both styles come in a variety of colors, sizes and shapes and both outdoor fountain styles feature water cascading into subsequent tiers, giving off a relaxing sound and an aesthetically interesting water flow action.
Materials and Color. Most outdoor fountains today are made of either cast stone or concrete reinforced glass fiber. The materials the fountain is made of has some bearing on the fountain’s coloring and texture. While the natural stone look is the most popular, the many colors available make it possible to match one’s color preference or to contrast the fountain with nearby structures and features.

Tips for Maintaining Outdoor Fountains
Unlike indoor fountains, outdoor fountains require more frequent care and cleaning. Outdoor fountains are exposed to elements such as sun, dirt and debris from plants and animals. Below are three simple ways to maintain your outdoor fountain so it looks and operates at its best:
Choose the Right Location. Fountains that are placed near the siding of a house or wall, and in the open away from trees and bushes will catch less dirt, leaves, twigs and branches, resulting in less frequent cleaning. When plant debris isn’t promptly cleaned out of the water, they can decay, turning the water brown and possibly clogging the fountain’s pipes.
Add Vinegar. Vinegar may not smell great, but it is a safe and environmentally friendly antibacterial, anti-fungal and antiseptic that not only keeps the fountain water clean, but it also prevents the growth of algae and bacteria, keeping your fountain looking great. The vinegar will only smell for a minute or two after being added to the fountain water.
Avoid Sunlight & Algae. The warmth and light of the sun speeds up the growth of algae. Placing an outdoor fountain in a sunny area will require more frequent cleaning to keep algae growth at bay. For less frequent cleaning, place the fountain in a cool, shaded area. There are also shade coverings for fountains when no natural shade is available.
Planting In and Around Your Outdoor Fountain
If you’re planning on placing your outdoor fountain in a yard or garden, chances are you’ll plant around the fountain. Plants add color and enhance the local ecosystem. Before you plant, here are some things to keep in mind:
Don’t go overboard with too many plants. While plants add color, purify the air and provide shelter for animals and insects, too many plants in and around your outside fountain can accelerate the growth of algae and turn the water in your fountain into an unpleasant bog.
Plant with a purpose. Instead of planting flowers you like the look or smell of, consider plants that add camouflage and fight algae. Ornamental grasses, large shrubs and wildflowers are great tall plants that add depth to the space as well as cover up the unsightly fountain pump and motor. Iris and Sweet Flag are great
