A Still Pond In The Forest

This gorgeous place is a still pond in the forest here in Portland.  I installed it with my merry band working for another company some time ago, but I felt its beauty and timeless peacefulness deserve many looks.   Interestingly, this picture was taken on the day we finally completed it, offering an already-mature scene without all the standard accouterments of the freshly-constructed.

It was a delightful place to work, absolutely stunning in its naturalness.  What was once a forest was now something entirely different. What is most astounding perhaps is the fact that a reasonable busy street is out the front door, offering this ultimately peaceful little scene to the very nice home owners who commissioned the work. I admit we fought with some elements, but the overall products was one of most satisfying ever.
