Yep....the pool isn't straight in the background but unfortunately....it isn't in real life either. The only way I could capture the ladder rungs.

2546 Euclid Heights Blvd. Jumping into Grandpa's pool. More than once he threw me in. The immaculately-maintained pool area behind this WWI-era Tudor Revival is long since filled in and a weedy patch of grass grows on this spot.
I was fascinated with the cranking jalousie windows which kept rain out but did not keep the heat in. That entire long and narrow sunroom in background, which had terrazzo floors, was a giant freezer for my grandmother's Christmas cookies. She used to make 30 large batches, each a large variety, which she generously gave to six of her children's families, and her in-laws and friends.
There was a six-foot chain link fence around the pool area, which also enclosed some garden, and honeysuckle covering parts of it up, affording privacy. Some of the garden and much of the pool was overshadowed by a fast-growing weeping willow planted just outside this fence, to the left of this shot. It blocked the sun for almost half the day, keeping the water "refreshing" (i.e., cold), and its roots persistently found their way under and around the pool into the filtration system about 50' feet away. It was the neighbors', the Sullivans, and a sore point with my grandpa. The rule of thumb with most trees is that the roots extend as wide under the soil as the natural canopy. Not so with a weeping willow. They are wonderful for poorly drained soil, but have to be planted smart. More than once the pipes to and from the pool had to be cleared of roots, and not cheaply. There were no pipe cameras, and plumbers of the day had to dig merely to diagnose. Never install a swimming pool within 100' of a weeping willow, or plant one anywhere near a house.
Subsequent owners remodeled the interior, and rear portions of the house extensively in the 2020s to appeal to modern tastes, which destroyed the charm inherent in the original design.
Seems that the water has slowly eroded the rocks and got into this nice small pool. Near Finikas at the island of Pano Koufonisi.
Tide Pool, Punta Norte, Peninsula Valdes, Patagonia, Argentina.
Tide pools (also tidal pools or rock pools) are rocky pools by oceans that are filled with seawater. Tide pools can either be small and shallow or large and deep. The small ones are usually found far back on the shore and the large ones are found nearer to the ocean. Tide pools are formed as a high tide comes in over a rocky shore. Water fills depressions in the ground, which turn into isolated pools as the tide retreats. This process, repeated twice a day, replenishes the seawater in what otherwise might be a stagnant pool. The area that is covered by high tide and exposed by low tide is called the intertidal zone, or foreshore. This area is often further divided into different zones based on the life forms that live there. (Wikipedia)
