I love fountains. We have several small ones in our home and then a very large one outside. IT allows for a beautifully zen feeling.
I love water features too. But then I am a bit different because I love rainy days and although I don’t get into the ocean, I can sit and stare at it for hours. It is so relaxing and the sound of the waves truly relax my soul. So I suppose a fountain is the next best thing to hear the rain fall or the sound of the waves.
