WaterShapes Author Index, 1999-2011
The numbers tell the story: The 13 years and 131 issues of WaterShapes saw publication of nearly 500 articles written by nearly 300 watershaping professionals. The success and value of the magazine extends from the willingness of these experts to give of their time and energy to communicate what they know and what they’ve learned to other watershapers. In testimony to the power of the forum, these contributions have come from the mainstream as well as the farthest-flung corners of the Watershaping Industry – from pool builders and pond installers as well as from fountain designers, Japanese gardeners and a range of talented artists, engineers and suppliers. Note: In this special Index, individual copies of the magazine are referred to using a simple shorthand that calls out the month (or months) of publication and the year, followed after a colon (:) by the number of the item’s opening page.  To see a digital version of the article, click on the date in blue.  To see it as it originally appeared in print, just find the appropriate issue in the eArchive (either through the whole eArchive or by clicking on the desired year in the pulldown menu) and click on it to reach a .pdf version of the edition that includes the article you seek.

It was a merry crew, and one of my most pleasant tasks each year was

Spanish Rhapsody
I’ve had the good fortune to visit Barcelona twice in my lifetime – once in 1977, when I was 22 and about three months into half a year’s traveling all over Europe; and again in 1994, when I was there for a European pool show as editor of Pool & Spa News. On both occasions, I was in the city for six days – but the two adventures could not have been more
