The Silent Pool is a small tree-lined, spring-fed lake between Dorking and Guildford in Surrey.
Legend has it that a woodcutter who lived in the forest had a son and a beautiful daughter named Emma. One day she was bathing in the lake when she heard a horse and rider approaching and, having no time to get out and dress, she waded deeper to cover herself. The rider tried to get her to leave the water but she refused. He rode in after her and her cries for help brought her brother to her aid. Brother and sister drowned and their ghosts are said to haunt the lake and Emma is said to be seen floating on the water. Legend further has it that the rider was the future King John who succeeded his brother Richard to the throne in 1199.
No sign of any ghosts or floating damsels during my visit but it is a most beautiful and serene place.
My next building is getting an indoor water feature with lights. There's not a ton of room to work with. The floor of this room is only 4 bricks off the water level outside, so it starts as low as I can go.
My fisrt flickr photo with me actually in it (in the pool !) Does my bum look big in those Speedo's ?

Been too work busy to post on flickr... almost cleared the decks so I can get back to posting again... as ever starting with a 7DOS shot... a real oldie but it gets me back at the table... not had a holiday this year so if I was thinking dolce vita it might be lying by a pool getting some vitamin D... and a cold beer. Maybe next year.
