An older house with a damaged roof (a tree is still lying on the roof). You can hear the water from a distance. If you listen closely, it seems as if the water is running right through the house. This is what drew us in. Right in front of the house, you can see the artwork: the water is diverted through pipes into ponds and fish tanks.
