One, with her hands
Open
"Don't be afraid," she said.
"No one will know it -
just you and me.
And when it's over,
I'll go back...."

Panorama of the Sapphire Pool, Yellowstone National Park. Some info from www.yellowstonenationalpark.com "Temperature 200-202°F Dimensions 18x30 feet. Sapphire Pool, named for its blue, crystal-clear water and for its resemblance to an Oriental sapphire, was once a placid hot pool. It was not until after the 1959 earthquake that major eruptions occurred. For several years following the earthquake powerful eruptions at two hour intervals reached 150 feet. The force of the eruptions caused the crater to double in size, destroying the biscuit-like formations around its edge, and the crystal-clear water became murky. By 1968 Sapphire ceased to function as a true geyser. Today Sapphire still retains its crystal-clear, blue water, and still violently boils and surges occasionally.
Crazywell Pool on Dartmoor is surrounded by superstition. It was thought that it was bottomless and that the water level rose and fell with the tides at Plymouth. This was believed to have been confirmed when the parishioners of nearby Walkhampton brought up the bell ropes from the parish church to test its depth. They tied the ropes together, weighted the end and lowered them into the water, but were unable to reach the bottom of the pool.
Another superstition is that, during the middle-ages, the pool was haunted by the Witch of Sheepstor who used to give her clients a lot of bad advice. One such instance was Piers Galveston who was a favourite of Edward II. She advised him to return to the Court at Warwick where ‘his humbled head shall soon be high’. Taking her advice, he returned to Warwick and was promptly executed. There was, however, some truth in the prophecy in that his severed head was set up on the battlements of the castle.
Other superstitions include the waters calling out at dusk the name of the next Walkhampton parishioner to die. Also, that at midnight on Midsummer’s Eve you can see the face of the next parishioner to die in the still waters of the pool.
In reality the pool was excavated by tinners and may well have been used by them as a reservoir. Certainly it is fine spot to sit awhile and ponder during a walk on a fine summer’s day.
In the distance to the right you can see Leather Tor and Sharpitor.
A sunlit area of bedrock beside a shadowed pool of water in which there is a suggestion of a very distinct pareidokia face (located where the sunlit extension is pointing).
Thanks for all the feedback on my last shot and info on how to balance exposures when shooting at night.
This one was taken a few months back when we had some better weather. Using the B&W ten stop filter and Lee 0.9 nd grad.
This big pool is west of Yellowcraigs Beach and will need to pay this spot another visit.

I've composed a short slideshow of me and Amy V. at a public swimming pool in Florida USA. See youtu.be/OAul-nPxcYs
In between endless teleconferences, I've found bits of time to cobble shows like this together.
Please understand, I'm not a pro, but also be assured I'm not a con either.
Enjoy!

This is my first attempt using my recently purchased Altura External flashgun. As you can see, definitely not the best composition or lighting. But this is my first attempt and decided to utilize a shallow depth of field.
