AT THE POOL
Happiness was a day at a pool
in the grass ringed round
with trees up to the sky
here I was god’s and my
grandpa’s lad – both died,
happiness is dangerous
in the evening the pool has lain down
so mirror-smooth that sky, trees and grass
repeat themselves below the ground
fear and longing both ask me
to come back
Rutger Kopland

DE HEUL / WIJDEWORMER - Former natural swimming pool (1956-1987) with sunbathing areas, popularly also called the Wormerbad, Wormergat or Wormerplas, located in the southeast corner of the Wijde Wormer, on the spot where a 'whirlpool' had arisen during the flood of 1825. Now surrounded by Golf Course “Zaanse Golf Club”
THE ANIMAL CRUSADE
One day all the sties and burrows opened
And out came the cave-bear the mammoth the seafaring
cormorant, that poetic diving bird, the white-headed vulture
the rock-goat from the mountains, the sea unicorn
You could see by their snouts that they meant business
You could hear by their flapping wings and their burr
They had thrown off their humility, cast down their yoke
once imposed by Adam’s secretive hero
the one with the garden
They were, to cut a long story short, fed up
And the morals of the shotgun had been cast off
the flayed skin of flight had faded
The viper walked tall and the swine wore polaroid glasses
that lent him pleasant looks. The beavers
gnawed down telegraph poles and so cut off any form of communication
Predictably enough, the lion led the way black black
as black gold and gold-coloured as deep black
It was a magnificent procession, blinding to the eye
At the back the unicorn reported as missing, the dodo the passenger pigeon
as well as various viruses and the elated spermatozoids
So the holy animals
travelled the holy world
And do you know how or why?
Oh no, they just went travelling, they didn’t have a flag!
Sometimes ripped up laws out of sheer happiness
or bled a city dry
Now and then trampled on a Jesus
or struck down a prophet or a princess
They were beginning to get tired
Haste no longer necessary
The one day’s deities left the fire

RKO_3082-2. A nice wildebeest at the water meadows in Amboseli National park, Kenya. Despite the water at the meadows, many wildebeest and zebra died as the grasses they eat didn't grow due the lack of rain.

As I had not managed to capture any decent reflections at sunset recently and as there was 10-15mph winds yesterday evening I decide to try a new more protected location and went to Birdham Pool Marina, West Sussex.
A lot of cloud and not a lot of colour in the sky but I managed to capture some decent reflections which resulted I feel in quite a moody image!
6 seconds exposure using a Lee 0.6 ND grad filter.
Thanks for any comments you may wish to leave.
Happiness consists in activity; such as the constitution of our nature; it is a running stream, and not a stagnant pool.

With the sun setting in front of me, I liked this composition and the reflections in the pool water.
Terrace Falls, Salote's Pool.
South Hazelbrook, Blue Mountains NSW Australia.
Six Aboriginal language groups are the traditional owners of the Greater Blue Mountains World Heritage Area:
Darug.
Gundungurra.
Wanaruah.
Wiradjuri.
Darkinjung.
Tharawal.
I acknowledge the Traditional Custodians of the land on which I work and live, and recognise their continuing connection to land, water and community. I pay respect to Elders past, present and emerging.
Walking tracks in the mid mountains are generally not as strenuous as those in the upper mountains. Try the gentle walks of South Hazelbrook where for over a hundred and fifteen years European walkers and nature lovers have been inspired by the majestic scenery of Terrace Falls Reserve. Here you will find a historic and complex layout of walking tracks.
Thoughtful walkers will appreciate the effort that went into creating the beautiful stone steps and gently-sloping paths that give access into this wonderland of tumbling waters, sandy ‘beaches’, still pools, peaceful rainforests, and strange rocks.
The old track layout had eight bridges providing easy access over Terrace Falls and Bedford Creeks at various points. All have been lost through floods or bushfires, but the watchful eye can spot remains at creek crossings.

A natural pool at a cove just south of Sepoc Point and Beach (visible in the right background) in Maricaban Island, Tingloy, Batangas. The 4 coves to the south of the latter is sometimes called Apat na Lagusan.
A favourite location of mine for New Year's Day walkies near Sligachan, Isle of Skye - a dull and dreary morning but it wasn't raining!
Beauty Pool est une source chaude située dans le Upper Geyser Basin dans le parc national de Yellowstone aux États-Unis.
Il est connecté à la source chaude Chromatic Spring. En effet, lorsque l'eau de l'une des deux sources monte et déborde, le niveau de l'eau de l'autre diminue. Ces variations se déroulent sur des périodes allant de quelques semaines à plusieurs années. Au cours de ce changement d'énergie, les températures peuvent varier d'environ 6 °C. Sa température varie entre 73 et 79 °C.
D'après diapositive de juillet 1991.
