Water at the Getty

Water plays a large part of the Getty experience. There are numerous water features, including some at the lower tram station. I have some video and will try to get it edited and shown here as well. One end of the main plaza has the fountain, the natural rock blended in with the cut stone of the plaza.



The feature below is like being inside a large clay jar. The water trickles over the edge in a pond above. Some of it falls down like rain, and some of it trickles down the sides of the edge, feeding a thick lush layer of moss.



A stream cascades down through the center of the garden, flowing through a variety of stone patterns and types of stone work, the most natural which is shown below.
