Water pool...a sport that never really made it. This was called "Old rules, new rules" and by Australian artist Jean-Marc Rivalland.
First, attach the camera to the end of a pool-cleaning pole with a Gorillapod. I also put a cabletie around the camera strap and through the pole because I really didn't want my DSLR falling 20 feet into the pool.
I checked out of this party-packer hostel three nights early in search of a quieter night's rest, but 9Station did have a nice pool.

2546 Euclid Heights Blvd. Jumping into Grandpa's pool. More than once he threw me in. The immaculately-maintained pool area behind this WWI-era Tudor Revival is long since filled in and a weedy patch of grass grows on this spot.
I was fascinated with the cranking jalousie windows which kept rain out but did not keep the heat in. That entire long and narrow sunroom in background, which had terrazzo floors, was a giant freezer for my grandmother's Christmas cookies. She used to make 30 large batches, each a large variety, which she generously gave to six of her children's families, and her in-laws and friends.
There was a six-foot chain link fence around the pool area, which also enclosed some garden, and honeysuckle covering parts of it up, affording privacy. Some of the garden and much of the pool was overshadowed by a fast-growing weeping willow planted just outside this fence, to the left of this shot. It blocked the sun for almost half the day, keeping the water "refreshing" (i.e., cold), and its roots persistently found their way under and around the pool into the filtration system about 50' feet away. It was the neighbors', the Sullivans, and a sore point with my grandpa. The rule of thumb with most trees is that the roots extend as wide under the soil as the natural canopy. Not so with a weeping willow. They are wonderful for poorly drained soil, but have to be planted smart. More than once the pipes to and from the pool had to be cleared of roots, and not cheaply. There were no pipe cameras, and plumbers of the day had to dig merely to diagnose. Never install a swimming pool within 100' of a weeping willow, or plant one anywhere near a house.
Subsequent owners remodeled the interior, and rear portions of the house extensively in the 2020s to appeal to modern tastes, which destroyed the charm inherent in the original design.
