Decorative dry rock creek

[myfs_145566]

We are doing some landscaping in our front yard in a south-north (front door facing north) facing house. I'm thinking of putting in a decorative rock dry creek (similar to the attached photo). Dry creek symbolize water, but it's made of stone. So in feng shui, is it considered as water or stone/earth? Is it a good idea to have dry creek in the front yard? If so, which direction should the dry creek flow symbolically? Toward the house, away from the house or parallel the house (east-

west)? Thanks for your advice.

1. This "dry creek" kinda of thing is popular with Japan or Japanese landscaping.

2. Thus in general, under Symbolism in Feng Shui; just imagine your rather smaller sized pebbles as water droplets.

3. While you have the huge stones, the size of roughly a bowling ball or smaller. These larger stones can be considered as "earth" element.

4. Thusbased on Yin and Yang concept: para 2 (YIN = smaller stones or rocks) is combined with para 3(Yang = larger bowling ball or larger than ostrich egg sized rocks).

Further to what I had mentioned; attached, please find the "breakdown" of the components of the dry creek.

As mentioned earlier; larger stones (rocks) = Yang; while the smaller pebbles and it's lighter shade shows an imaginary profile of a water course.

While at the outer far reaches of this landscaping should be considered as transparent or not so relevant to this entire dry creek thing. I mean the sandy part of it. In the Japanese Zen garden, they simply use all smilar sized pebble in the entire yard. Thus the yard : only has larger stones and pebbles and some decorate lamp(s).
