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.
Rock pool swimmers.
It is an iconic location that draws locals and visitors daily.
The ocean rock pool which is flushed by the incoming tides provide an ideal sanctuary for the early morning swimmers.
Kiama, New South Wales, Australia.
This is my final shot from the beach at Crayfish Creek. You can see the creek running into the ocean in the background. In the foreground is a shallow rock pool which reflects the stormy skies.
The pool at the front of the image even has a seat in it, you would think this would be a perfect place to sit on a hot summers day, if it wasn't for the midges!
The back story
Eastern Box Turtle (Terrapene Carolina Carolina). Found this little girl in the pool trap. I took her out to the woods by stream where she didn’t have to be in chlorine.
I’m feeling a bit out off sorts with photography at the moment. My last two outings with the camera have been with my OM camera’s, great for travelling light but I feel my photography suffers, maybe not in it’s imagery but definitely in my empathy for that image. This may be just my imagination or just the winter blues but being in the woods on Sunday primary using my Canon R5 with Benro tripod and geared head started the healing process again. While processing this photo of this quiet little pool I have experienced that inner peace I have with my work I’ve not felt in months. It’s not just the processing the image, I know when I took the photo I had it right, down to the correct polarisation of the pools reflection. I feel my light OM camera’s are great to take a photograph, ideal when the location, conditions and light briefly appear, but to make a photograph I have to slow down and it’s only when I’m purposely out with my FF Canon I do that.
Doublet Pool est une source chaude située dans le Upper Geyser Basin dans le parc national de Yellowstone aux États-Unis.
Doublet Pool fait 25 pieds (7,6 m) de long, 9 pieds (2,7 m) de large et 8 pieds (2,4 m) de profondeur et sa température est de 84,4 °C. Son bord festonné est fait de geyserite. Des éruptions peuvent se produire mais ne durent pas plus de 8 minutes. La source, sur la droite, entre en éruption environ toutes les 2 heures. Il y a parfois des vibrations, des mouvements d'onde à la surface, des bruits sourds ; ces effets sont causés par l'effondrement de bulles de gaz et de vapeur profondément dans la terre. On n'a pu observer que deux ou trois éruptions de Doublet Pool.

Here’s a Vertorama that I captured at the Camps Bay tidal pool on Sunday afternoon… about half an hour before sunset.
Although the sky was completely overcast with rain the whole day on Sunday… I was really hoping that the clouds would clear up a bit by sunset… just enough to allow some sweet light through. As luck would have it… that’s exactly what happened!!
So there I was at the tidal pool… admiring the amazing cloud reflections in the calm water… and looking around for the most interesting compositions. I really liked the way that the rocks on the right of this composition all seemed to be pointing towards the sun… and how the heavy right-hand side of the composition was balanced out by the bright sun in the upper left-hand corner. All I needed was for someone to walk along the rim of the tidal pool… not only would that improve the composition… but it would also add a human element to the photo (which is something that I’ve been consciously trying to do). I looked around me to see if there was anyone whom I could kindly ask to walk around the tidal pool for me… but as I turned around… I noticed this smartly-dressed guy was already walking along the wall… without me even asking! I waited till he was in my frame and directly below the sun… and snap… got him!! :)

6 vertical shots combined panorama taken at Porteau Cove Provincial Park near Squamish, BC. It was a low tide night revealing this night pool near the campground. walking along this night pool and take photos was a great experience.
The lights behind the mountain on the left is from Gibson, BC. And the lights on the right side is from Squamish.
PThat body stretch from the warm comfy bed to peep through the curtains at a red glow in the sky was all I needed to entice me on to a bitter cold Dartmoor.
Madness I hear you cry!
I sensed the dramatic clouds were going to light up but realised that I was at least 1/2 late to drive, park up and walk up the nearest Tor.
So, I stopped beneath Sharpitor by the drinking pool for the ponies, sheep and cattle. It was like an mini ice rink and great to reflect the colours of the sky. The ice was thick so the animals couldn’t get to the water.
After rushing like a crazy man to set up the camera and get my warm gear on I decided not to hike up the Tor. Instead I stayed by the car to photograph the frozen pool. Luckily I saw the best of the sunrise within 5 minutes.
The vibrant sunrise display soon faded but I was happy to get a few shots. I headed up to Sharpitor then onto Leather Tor just for the exercise and maybe a few more photos.
An hour and half later I was back in the car warming up drinking hot steaming tea and munching on a chocolate bar. Someone had broken the ice in one area of the pool so the animals could get a drink😄

A monster lives in my pool. I don’t know how it got there. It only comes out at night.
I first saw it when I went for a swim one night. There it was, lurking in the corner. I was scared witless. I ran away screaming. I did not call the police. Who would believe me?
One morning, I awoke to find my glasses on the back porch. The glasses I had lost in the swimming pool. Somebody had placed a flower beside my glasses.
Later that same day, I left some biscuits by the poolside. Nobody touched them during the day. In the morning, they were gone.
This all happened some weeks ago.
Now I lie awake at night, listening. Waiting and listening in the dark. I like listening in the dark. It’s wonderfully relaxing, to listen in the dark. Waiting for the monster.
I hear the garden door open, gently. I hear naked, wet feet tiptoe towards the kitchen. I hear the fridge door open. I hear the satisfying sound of munching. Isn’t it wonderful?
At night, I don’t bother locking my front door anymore. You’d have to be crazy to break into my house. I have a monster living in my pool. It's in the kitchen right now.

The monster in the pool: Kangsom
(Kangsom is not a monster in real life, let me assure you, she is a very nice person. We’re just versatile).

This was taken a few days after a 10 inch snow fall. The pool had the best color I have every seen. The colors come from algae and lichen. Different areas of pools and geysers maintain near constant temperatures. Different color algae and lichen grow at these different temperatures.
Taken in Yellowstone National Park, Wyoming, U.S.A. Made from 2 photos. (CRW05936-37)

A shot of a pool 200-metres downstream from my usual pool (in the previous 2 photos). This photo was taken in December 2023 - during the hight of the annual wet-season, so the water is flowing pretty rapidly here. This was a live-photo taken with my iPhone at wide-angle and converted to long-exposure.
