Upper Geyser Basin, Yellowstone National Park, Wyoming Beauty Pool is a hot spring in the Upper Geyser Basin of Yellowstone National Park in the United States. It is connected to the nearby Chromatic Spring. When the water level in one of the two pools rises and overflows, the water level in the other decreases. These fluctuations in water level take place over periods ranging from a few weeks to several years. (Wikipedia) Scanned from a Kodachrome slide.
Maybe there's just something about our pool that attracts these creatures. Every night, something new and different. This one seemed quite content to simply hover over the pool. (shrug)
SOOC...didn't need to tweak anything for this beauty.
Comments and feedback welcome.
I read something once about being a pool of peace and this leaf brought the memory back to me. It was raining and the wind was blowing hard as I took this image. I noticed that as the wind subsided, the ripples would settle in the leaf. Some days feel that way to me. Out of the blue a wind of anger or sadness might blow over my life but I know the storm will pass. The peace that follows a storm is always a welcome friend.
A dream come true with Aqua Wonder Woman shots in the pool at the Easter Fetish meet in Essen. I never thought I'd get to do water photos like this. Thanks to Joachim from Fetigraf for taking the shots
A breathtaking walk around a limestone coastline carved into dramatic caves and platforms by millions of years of erosion by the sea, and hundreds of years of human quarrying. From prehistoric times humans have lived here and exploited the cliffs and coves for a wide variety of purposes, ranging from prehistoric tools and burials through mediaeval farming to nineteenth century smuggling. Chapman's Pool itself is a wonderfully wild beach where the stream joins the sea from a plunging ravine carved through high cliffs.
The SLSNSW Pool Rescue Championships is fast gaining reputation as one of the biggest and best pool rescue events on the Surf Sports calendar. Each year, the event grows in numbers and each year NSW are developing more elite athletes that are going on to represent their country in International pool rescue events.
Beautiful Image of Ender Falls. I was around this location for a different shoot and when that didn't pay out I turned to this location. I'm glad I did ...
The falls weren't as fierce, but nonetheless, they were still beautiful.
Roman Swimming Pool
Hearst Castle
Hearst San Simeon State Historical Monument
San Simeon, California
This indoor swimming pool holds "only" 205,000 gallons of water; the outdoor Neptune Pool holds 345,000 gallons (Hearst Castle fact sheet). This was taken at ISO 8,000, 1/10-second, and f/14. The pool is in a separate building, below the tennis courts on the NE side of Casa Grande.
Although work on William Randolph Hearst's "Enchanted Hill" (formally, La Cuesta Encantada) spanned more than a quarter-century (1919-47), parts of the plans he and architect Julia Morgan made for it were never completed, including the Recreation Building, which was to include more than the Roman Pool and the tennis courts above it. The pool is 81 feet long and 10 feet deep (alcove on the far side is four feet deep). Over 1,000,000 Murano glass tiles (some with encased gold leaf) were used here; the statues are 20th century copies of ancient Roman sculptures.
Hearst ceased living at the estate in 1947 due to ill health and died in 1951 at age 88. The estate was donated to California and since 1958 has been a unit of the state park system, Hearst San Simeon State Historical Monument. It was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1972 (72000253) and named a National Historic Landmark in 1976.
