Rolando was adorable, friendly and very competent. There are a LOT of electrical things to fix around here, and I will have to have him come back again, and again!
Spray paint artwork at the old remnants of the Pool 6 grain elevator in Thunder Bay.
With waterfront development pushing ahead like a drunken bull in a china shop, this site will eventually be destroyed and the concrete slabs supposedly dumped into Lake Superior to reclaim land to build a new marina.
It's almost sad that all of the hard work that has been put into these concrete art pieces by grassroots local artists will be destroyed to make way for more corporate gains, private development and more slips for rich folks' sailboats.
Can't stop progress I suppose.
I made it my mission to wear skanky platforms as much as possible. I don't know why. I just thought it might be fun.
A swimming pool at a hotel in Malaga. I like the contrast of the light and the night and how artificial the scene looks.

Sad to say, this swimming pool was destroyed and leveled and made into something different and not very aesthetic nor fun like this was a little over 40 years ago. It was just off of Franklin Boulevard in Eugene, Lane County, Oregon USA.

Black Pool, northern Lower Group, West Thumb Geyser Basin, Yellowstone Hotspot, northwestern Wyoming, USA in August 2011 (looking ~SE).
Black Pool is a very hot, moderately deep, irregularly-outlined, and intensely blue- to deep turquoise-colored. It was formerly a deep greenish-black color, from the presence of yellowish extremophile bacterial mats on the pool walls and floor. Subsequent natural heating of this feature has knocked out most of the bacterial mats. Abundant, suspended, <0.5µ-sized, colloidal silica particles are responsible for the blue coloration of the water.
In 1991 and 1992, Black Pool had atypical activity, coinciding with activity at nearby Abyss Pool (see above). One explosive eruption here in August 1991 involved the forceful detachment and nearby deposition of geyserite clasts. Boiling water domes up to 3 feet high were present in the pool after that eruption, accompanied by significant overflow.
Small eruptions also occurred at Black Pool in 1992.
The above photo shows the edge of Black Pool in August 2011 - nicely formed, loose and coalesced nodules of grayish-colored geyserite are present in the shallowest portions of the Black Pool. The brownish-black areas are bacterial mats.
This is one of my personal favorite of my photos. It was taken in the Dominican Republic about 2 years ago. My son and I traveled there for a week as a college graduation present to myself, this was before I met my husband. We spent a week flopped by the pool, taking photos, and reading books. This was a little peice of joy I got to bring home and frame quite large. :)
