The thread was about HenryC's new pond. The pond is VERY nice. The fish are VERY nice. But what struck me about the photo was not the quality of the pond or the fish, but the aesthetic of having a nice large pond with only a few fish in it.




How are you supposed to meditate, contemplate and relax with so much activity going on in the pond? I wanna big pond with just three large fish in it.
