Recent rains filled all the depressions in the sandstone with water. The Sun has almost set, illuminating the white rocks in the distance which reflect off the foreground pool.
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

Rare to have both sons home over the Thanksgiving holiday, so we spent a pleasant hour at the billiard parlor. . .Lynn snapped this image on her cellphone.

Backyard Pool it has been a wet week, several inches in the last 3-4 days, I hope the birds clean it out, shot in North Carolina.
Happiness consists in activity; such as the constitution of our nature; it is a running stream, and not a stagnant pool.

The Champagne Pool is a prominent geothermal feature within the Waiotapu geothermal area in the North Island of New Zealand. The terrestrial hot spring is located about 30 km southeast of Rotorua and about 50 km northeast of Taupo. The name Champagne Pool is derived from the abundant efflux of carbon dioxide (CO2), similar to a glass of bubbling champagne. The hot spring was formed 900 years ago by a hydrothermal eruption. Its crater is around 65 m (213 ft) in diameter with a maximum depth of approximately 62 m (203 ft) and is filled with an estimated volume of 50,000 m3 (1,800,000 cu ft) of geothermal fluid.
The rear DPU on B65111 crosses over the trestle at Pool Point. In a couple miles, they'll hold for a work window at Towers.

……. A shot from a small village not to far from our village, there is a small Fishing pool that is quite popular there. I’m standing on the road and behind me is the Mill House - the mill back in the day being driven from the pools outlet. So that’s #083 shot of the day taken on my phone in Apple RAW and edited in Lightroom. Alan:-)

It is early morning. This pool remains regardless of tide, in exactly the same place for more than twenty years in my direct experience.
Image taken at the Christian Science Plaza in Boston, MA. The grounds along side the building are adorned by gardens, a fountain and a stunning 670 foot long reflecting pool.
The reflecting pool, designed by the firm of renowned architect I.M. Pei, is so large that the curvature of the Earth had to be taken into account to keep water from spilling over the sides.
The fountain design includes a cast-iron gate with 2-inch opening that allows 180 water jets to shoot directly out of the ground.
Thank you for your comments.

A hot spring in the Upper Geyser Basin at Yellowstone National Park. The distinct color of the pool is due to bacteria which inhabit the water. On a few occasions, Morning Glory Pool has erupted as a geyser, usually following an earthquake or other nearby seismic activity. Several entryways have been clogged due to objects being thrown in by tourists, reducing the hot water supply, and in turn altering the overall appearance of the pool. Several attempts by park officials to artificially induce eruptions to clear the pool of debris and clear blocked entryways have been met with mixed results. Due to the damage caused by ignorance and vandalism, it has been suggested that Morning Glory is becoming a "Faded Glory".
This was our first trip with digital cameras, almost 10 years ago. I am slowly adding photos to this album as time allows.
Please do not throw things into these pools. Morning Glory Pool has been almost ruined with all the coins the garbage us humans have tossed into it. This is not Morning Glory Pool but I thought it might be appropriate to mention the problem.
I have always loved the colors in the geyser pools.

The mysterious Doxey Pool on The Roaches escarpment. The pool has several stories linked to it, one being that it is bottomless and linked by a subterranean tunnel to Blake Mere which is approx 2.5 miles away. Another is that its the home to a malignant mermaid called Jenny Greenteeth, who lured people into the water to their deaths. Maybe that's why the pool has been fenced off since my last visit a few yeara ago.
