Further insight was provided by some of the  more experienced layout \u201cartistes\u201d in the club.<a href=\"http:\/\/www.guitarfish.org\/2010\/04\/06\/gwapa-hardscaping-workshop\"> Kris has a recap on his  blog, Guitarfish. <\/a> Around a dozen 10-gallon aquariums with sand  substrate were placed around the hall and club members were invited to  create a hardscape using a variety of rocks collected locally as well as  some Manzanita wood purchased by the club for this exercise.  The  atmosphere was collegial and collaborative, as members freely shared  their opinions, expertise, and eye for the golden ratio.<\/p>\n<p>After the workshop, the club held its monthly auction.  Along with a  wide variety of plants, the Manzanita was auctioned off, so that  members could take the wood they\u2019d just used home, to use in real life.   Even the aquariums were sold.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Photos from the Meeting<\/strong> (photos by Kris Weinhold)<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_788\" style=\"width: 510px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-788\" class=\"size-full wp-image-788\" title=\"March 2010: Hardscaping Workshop\" src=\"http:\/\/gwapa.org\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/04\/4497850721_576891f7fd1.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"500\" height=\"416\" \/><p id=\"caption-attachment-788\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">March 2010: Hardscaping Workshop<\/p><\/div>\n<div id=\"attachment_791\" style=\"width: 510px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-791\" class=\"size-full wp-image-791\" title=\"March 2010: Hardscape\" src=\"http:\/\/gwapa.org\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/04\/4497852159_404639299d2.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"500\" height=\"321\" \/><p id=\"caption-attachment-791\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">March 2010: Hardscape<\/p><\/div>\n<div id=\"attachment_790\" style=\"width: 510px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-790\" class=\"size-full wp-image-790\" title=\"March 2010: Hardscape\" src=\"http:\/\/gwapa.org\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/04\/4498488306_3a2c3fe3521.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"500\" height=\"300\" \/><p id=\"caption-attachment-790\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">March 2010: Hardscape<\/p><\/div>\n<div id=\"attachment_789\" style=\"width: 510px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-789\" class=\"size-full wp-image-789\" title=\"March 2010: Manzanita\" src=\"http:\/\/gwapa.org\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/04\/4497850979_c69608e6131.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"500\" height=\"136\" \/><p id=\"caption-attachment-789\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">March 2010: Manzanita<\/p><\/div>\n<div id=\"attachment_787\" style=\"width: 510px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-787\" class=\"size-full wp-image-787\" title=\"March 2010: Hardscape\" src=\"http:\/\/gwapa.org\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/04\/4498486844_0f629b9b041.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"500\" height=\"313\" \/><p id=\"caption-attachment-787\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">March 2010: Hardscape<\/p><\/div>\n<div id=\"attachment_786\" style=\"width: 510px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-786\" class=\"size-full wp-image-786\" title=\"March 2010: Hardscape\" src=\"http:\/\/gwapa.org\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/04\/4497849437_25b485ba6f2.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"500\" height=\"333\" \/><p id=\"caption-attachment-786\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">March 2010: Hardscape<\/p><\/div>\n<div id=\"attachment_785\" style=\"width: 510px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-785\" class=\"size-full wp-image-785\" title=\"March 2010: Hardscape\" src=\"http:\/\/gwapa.org\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/04\/4498485612_db423acdb81.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"500\" height=\"322\" \/><p id=\"caption-attachment-785\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">March 2010: Hardscape<\/p><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Year of the Aquascape forged ahead this month, tackling the linchpin of aquascaping, the hardscape.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[5],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-792","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-meeting-notes"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/gwapa.org\/wordpress\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/792","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/gwapa.org\/wordpress\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/gwapa.org\/wordpress\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/gwapa.org\/wordpress\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/gwapa.org\/wordpress\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=792"}],"version-history":[{"count":3,"href":"https:\/\/gwapa.org\/wordpress\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/792\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":796,"href":"https:\/\/gwapa.org\/wordpress\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/792\/revisions\/796"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/gwapa.org\/wordpress\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=792"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/gwapa.org\/wordpress\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=792"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/gwapa.org\/wordpress\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=792"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
