What is the Best Pool for a Small Yard? Can a small yard accommodate a swimming pool? It’s a great question for the homeowner, or for the person who considers buying a home where the yard is compact. What is the best way to fit a pool into that small yard? Be creative. This is a time to really look at the space, and see what there is to work with. Is there only one place where a pool could fit? That might make the design and installation process a lot easier. But sometimes, things aren’t what they
The tension of proximity/distance in Wylie’s ‘Landscape’ (2007, p.2) is derived from the opposing contentions of the philosophical and the rational. Of his painting of Mont Saint – Victoire, Cezanne wrote “the landscape thinks itself in me ... and I am its consciousness” (Cited in Wylie, 2007, p. 2). Wylie observed “Cezanne is not a detached spectator – his gaze enters the landscape, is entered by landscape” (Wylie, 2007, p. 3). In contrast, Wylie cites the argument of the historian and literary
designed of space, the integration of landscape as a primary feature assisting in flow, and how we approach connecting the public realm to a particular piece/pieces. If all three of these are utilized the public will naturally let their experiences mesh with the experiences of another.

In her book, From Where We Stand, Deborah Tall, tells us the story of coming to Geneva, New York, to begin teaching. It is a personal account of coming to terms with a new and foreign place. It gives us the chance of watching her learn about landscapes, people, and history. It moves through time, through her own life, and especially through motherhood.

his pieces is on their walls. His works are “conversation pieces” done in a style which has been deemed Metamorphic art. Pictured here is Lupe. Metamorphic art is a new innovative style which blends Dali like surrealism with landscape realism. Each picture is a complete landscape in of itself. This technique “superimposes and juxtaposes realistic and figurative” details within images he creates. Only upon closer scrutiny do you actually realize that each facet of the work is something else. In Metamorphic

According to James E. Miller Jr.'s, "My Antonia; A Frontier Drama of Time," Willa Cather's novel, one of her most important and perhaps most popular works, is "defective in structure" (Bloom, 21). He quotes E. K. Brown, who defends that: " 'Everything in the book is there to convey a feeling, not to tell a story, not to establish a social philosophy, not even to animate a group of characters'" (21). The reader undoubtedly feels the impact of the story of Antonia and Jim as Cather intended, but
rape. Early in Book IV of Paradise Lost Milton compares Eden to beautiful landscapes of classical mythology, while insisting that his Christian Garden is "not" like such pagan settings. Milton's negative syntax implies the ineffability of Eden—this unfallen paradise cannot be described by a fallen poet to fallen readers and certainly cannot be evoked by pagan similes. Yet Milton's lush catalogue of classical landscapes forces an analogy, and as we amble through the myths, we conjure an image of

to the harsh natural land scape and the ambition of Aguirre. I will explore the most intriguing theme of this movie, which revolves around the power of natural world and the destruction of mankind. From the opening shot of the movie, the natural landscape dominates the characters who are trying to make their way across. The opening shot of the film shows a long line of people hiking down a steep hill into a valley. The foggy weather, the dim light, and the sad music of this shot set a toned for an
sanctums of our culture; we should treat our national parks with the same deference, for they, too, are holy places” (427). He didn’t want the road, as he believed that people should slow down and take in the scenery while respecting the natural landscape. With a road in, Abbey suspects, everyone would just drive their cars all over the park without getting out to look closely or really see any part of the park. This would also attract more people, which would make the park more like a city than a
alongside Dickinson’s original poetry (Tate 1). She mainly wrote on nature. She also wrote about domestic activity, industry and warfare, economy and law. “Her scenes sometime create natural or social scenes but are more likely to create psychological landscapes, generalized scenes, or allegorical scenes.” She uses real places and actions to convey a certain idea or emotion in her poem. She blends allegory and symbolism, which is the reason for the complication in her poems because allegory and symbolism
The traditional landscape of the 1900’s has undergone many changes over the last century. These changes can be seen in the physical environments as well as the cultural environment. Coherent relations between the physical environment and the local cultural adaption, resulting in typical patterns of settlement, roads, land use and field structures, characterize traditional landscapes, which can be recognized easily on aerial photographs (Van Eetvelde & Antrop, 2004, p. 1). Image analysis, and repeat

A reoccurring theme that arises in cultural geography is social norms and how they affect us. Both readings go into great detail of how these social norms and economic forces influence how we as society design and build new landscapes. The landscape I analyzed was Tim Horton’s field. I will look closely at the stadium as a whole and particularly the actually field. This essay will look at the socio-economic factors that decided everything from the choice of the name to the actual design and build
Ideas and inspirations for modern gardens There is a Chinese saying which, when translated, roughly means “One who plants a garden, plants happiness.” There is no denying of the fact. Avid gardeners among you will fondly remember your first gardening experiences. Perhaps, you were only a toddler then helping the older members of the family in backyard landscaping. Don’t you still feel the same thrill when you see the first signs of buds in your daffodils or dahlias? You most certainly do! In fact
The People and Landscape of the Welsh Hillcountry R.S. Thomas writes about the people and landscape of the Welsh “hillcountry.” By referring closely to at least two of his poems, show how he makes the Welsh countryside and its inhabitants vivid to the reader. RS Thomas was born in Cardiff in 1913. He was a Parish Priest in Wales for more than 20 years.
