Making water features in Calgary.

We did a take off of the homeshow water features in Calgary. We added copper sheeting on the sides, and put the waterfall on an angle rather than verticle. We wanted to cut out the Hard Rock logo and place it in the middle, but ran out of time.

Even online you need water features.

Upstairs is a lounge and outdoor setting. Way up in the sky is a Skybox where friends can meet and play with their appearance or try out new objects. I’ve a big empty building that I’m hoping will be used as small auditorium for presentations (might have to reduce the number of prims in use on the parcel though). Down the other end of my block is a nice little gazebo and a duck pond. There are a few water features and some plant and animal life. The weather is still unpredictable. A crackling fireplace, some music upstairs, an annoyingly chatty parrot make it seem both more peaceful and chaotic.

If you're in Costa Rica, check out the water features at the Tabacon Resort.

Located in Arenal, Costa Rica, the Tabacon Resort is a must see. You can stay in the resort or else you can just visit the hot springs. It’s one thing to read about but an entirely different thing to experience. It’s like a large well manicured garden with lots of different waterfalls, hot springs, pools, and other water features. As you experience the different hot springs you will notice some are scorching hot while others are quite cool. All of them are heated by the nearby volcano. If you want a visual experience like no other as well as a relaxing soak in a variety of different hot springs then Tabacon Resort is a must see.
