This fireplace is located outside on the pool patio area. The patio does have a roof, however it faces towards this ocean and has been exposed to the elements since the 30's. I was surprised at how lovely the mural over the fireplace still is.
n 1926, in an effort to avoid selling land to stave off insolvency, Rhoda May Rindge created a small ceramic tile factory. At its height, the Malibu Potteries employed over 100 workers, and produced decorative tiles which furnish many Los Angeles-area public buildings and Beverly Hills residences. The factory, located one-half mile east of the pier, was ravaged by a fire in 1931. Although the factory partially reopened in 1932, it could not recover from the effects of the Great Depression and a steep downturn in Southern California construction projects. A distinct hybrid of Moorish and Arts and crafts designs, Malibu tile is considered highly collectible. Fine examples of the tiles may be seen at the Adamson House and Serra Retreat, a fifty-room mansion that was started in the 1920s as the main Rindge home on a hill overlooking the lagoon. The unfinished building was sold to the Franciscan Order in 1942] and is operated as a retreat facility, Serra Retreat. It burned in the 1970 fire and was rebuilt using many of the original tiles.
first time playing pool for at least two years. Glad to see I haven't forgotten completely how to play, still nowhere near as good as I have been.
Damn American tables and balls.
It was good to be playing a familiar game. We were actually better than our Indian friends for once!
Thought this was a cool shot. Made my buddy look like a pro. Look at the intensity in his eyes. Not a guy you'd want to mince words with. He'd beat you over the head with a pool stick and toss you over the balcony or something.

A large rock pool at the back of Laig beach on Eigg.
The light was tough tonight, really harsh as there weren't many clouds in the sky to soften it. That meant a lot of sitting around waiting for the sun to dip below the mountains on the Isle of Rum, then a furious race to get an image before the light went altogether.
