Latest Fountain Installed
Posted by Simon
We (The Men of Stone) finally finished the installation of the fountain in the David’s garden
It looks good. This is our fifth permanent installation and both the product and the installation technique are continuing to improve. We now have only two more stones in stock available for experimental installation.

In Santa Fe we bought a garden sculpture/mobile from a very nice young man, Ben Malley at Wiford Gallery.
I finally arrived and I finally installed it. When the wind blows it turns and reminds me of flowers. When the wind doesn’t blow it just looks like a very nice copper sculpture in the garden. The manufacturer is Whitaker Studios in St George, Utah.
Happy New Year!
Sculpture Garden in San Francisco

Here are a few photos of a beautiful Zen garden Nurit took me to see in San Francisco. I wanted to walk along the waterfront but Nurit insisted that we go down along Market Street. Suddenly tucked in between two high rises was this garden with flowing water and rough cut granite.

Installation in Arcadia
Posted by Simon
The Men of Stone just finished a three stone installation in Arcadia. It is in the front yard of Howard R’s house and looks terrific.
This was our best installation to date. It was completed in one day, we solved the basin lip problem and “The Doctor” did all of the mechanical engineering.
Howard was in charge of the logistics I did the design and supervision and two day laborers did all of the heavy lifting.

We will be making three more installations this summer. The sound of running water in the front garden is a great pleasure. It is economical to run, low maintenance, artistic, and attracts birds. Life is good.
