I you like 'em shiny, then add another layer of varnish glue.

Very graceful fountains...

Most beautiful garden shop I have ever seen. It's romantic and enchanting with a very old world feel. Even though the shop runs parallel with the TransCanada Highway I immediately felt a calmness as I walked around the statutes listening to the water flowing through all the fountains.
