Fountain Friday Series Begins
What is Fountain Friday?
Starting in 2010, every Friday I am going to be blogging about a different historic fountain or water feature. I want to skip around the world and through time to look at how people have used water features as social, economic, environmental and artistic engines. I am kicking off the series this week with pictures from my trip to Villa d’Este in Tivoli, Rome.
Are you on Twitter?
I will be posting links to the articles via Twitter with the hashtag #fountainfriday.
Follow my personal tweets @PattyHume and/or my landscape/urban/water tweets @BREAK_urban
Know someone who would be interested in Fountain Friday? Send them a link to this blog!
Want to blog/tweet about water features too? Feel free to use the #fountainfriday hashtag.
