There is always that person that likes to splash those people that are chillin' in a controlled manner...people floating somewhere between half wet and half dry. I am the chillin' type. So if I get splashed, be prepared to be submarined.

The installation, created by PLAYLAB Inc., Family New York and Friends of +POOL and funded by Heineken, The Howard Hughes Corporation and the National Endowment for the Arts, is a 50 x 50-foot plus sign composed of a series of LED lights that change color based on the water quality. They glow blue when the water is safe to swim in, and pink when it’s not. The direction with which the lights illuminate is based on the movement of the water’s current, and the speed with which the lights move is determined by the water’s velocity.

Champagne Pool is a hot spring located within the Waiotapu geothermal area in the North Island of New Zealand. The name Champagne Pool is derived from the constant efflux of carbon dioxide gas, similar to a glass of bubbling champagne. The vibrant colors come from a rich deposition of minerals and silicate. The silicate structures around the edge of the pool is teeming with microbial life.

Detailed viewing with the magnifier is kind of cool, or if so inclined, HERE is a larger size.
Light trails reflection in some water in an (almost) empty swimming pool. Trails created using Denis Smith made lightflutes CH48 and HH815. Connected via LPB Universal Connectors to a @ryuslightworks V2 flashlight (4th brightness, 52Hz strobe) and Thorfire TK15S flashlight (50% output) respectively. f/8, 34secs, ISO200. Post processed from RAW exposure in Skylum Luminar 1.3.0 which I'm currently trialling as a Lightroom alternative.
Tried a different perspective for this shot of the Washington Monument from the Capitol Reflecting Pool.

I found a hidden pool in a slot canyon at the back of Hidden Wash, in Arrow Canyon Wilderness, Nevada.
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.
