This drawing was done from a photograph, and will hopefully be the start of how this backyard will turn out. This is the initial design for this project, the walkway that is shown starts where the patio space will end.
The wood structure to the left is for privacy screening from the only neighbor that has any type of view of the backyard. I also like the idea of a lot of pots in the one corner-to be used for annual/tropical color and foliage. To the right of walk the idea is now for a large pond to be installed.

Window of Opportunity
This photo of Machu Piccu was sent to me by a colleague who has been there several times. The stone work is jaw-dropping. The Inca put these stones together by using other stones to carve the joints. Harder, smaller stones, 1000's of hours of work to put this wall together. Just beautiful joinery.
Besides discussion on my work I will continue to look at, and share photo's sent to me by others traveling throughout the World

Where have I been?
Time to pick things back up, I have directed myself to other
directions and have put the energies elsewhere. Including
doing some nice design work and really getting involved in
The Stone Foundation go here for more info .
TSF has formed a Board of Trustees, became a formal
non-profit and elceted yours truly to the Board. More on this
group as I get a chance.
