1.  Buckminster Fuller started working in 1926 with his father-in-law and he had many ideas. This is a well crafted geodesic dome.

The Montreal Biosphère by Buckminster Fuller, 1967

2. Ha-has are found in country houses and estates.

The Washington Monument is protected by a low ha-ha wall

I have been to this monument many times because my uncle lived in Maryland so I thought this was pretty interesting.

3.  La tartaruga, la donna e la balena in Italy, 1560

one of the reasons I love this piece so much is because my favorite animal is a turtle and I love the patterns.

4. Roman Forum's function was to have a place for the people and to commemorate the City's great men. They held elections, public speeches, trials, gladiator matches, which is pretty cool and commercial affairs. It is amazing how they have statues and monuments who commemorate the city's great men. This place is the perfect size for its function.

The Forum Romanum

5. Boboli Gardens Amphitheatre, Palazzo Pitti in Tuscany, Florence; 16th century 

6.  The Pantheon, Paris, Luxembourg Palace, 1865

This is so beautiful and graceful

7.  The Villa and gardens in 1560–1575

This floor plan to me is very detailed and I loved that about it, I can clearly see everything.

8.  Fountain of the Four Rivers, 1651

9. Jean Dubuffet's Jardin d'Emaille,1974 in the Netherlands 

I love how it doesn't look so big but if you pay attention to it closely you can see its huge and life size.

10. Stowe Garden, 16th century, England

11. Stourhead Garden, England, 1725

This picture actually reminds me of a painting, its beautiful.

12. Washington DC parks: This is the The Korean War Veterans Memorial at the National mall and memorial parks of Washington DC. These monuments were dedicated to these men; The founding fathers, civil rights leaders and fallen soldiers.

This piece is very emotional and sentimental not only to me but, to many people. I happen to be one of the lucky families, my uncle is safe and a retired veteran of course not of that time.

13. The Vizcaya Museum. It was built in 1914 and 1922. It was know as the Villa Vizcaya because of James Deering. Due to environmental and hurricane damage Miami decided on restoring it. I actually took my 15's pictures here. 

14. Fairchild Tropical Garden at Metropolitan Miami in 1936. This was named after David Fairchild Montgomery's friend. The garden was established by Robert H. Montgomery who loved anything that had to do with plants and gardening. Montgomery had a dream of creating a botanical garden in Miami and thats why he made it in Miami.

I love the natural essence it has and the colors really pop out to me.
