Like my prior stay in 2015, I/we spent a lot of time in the pool. However, the weather wasn't as sunny as my last visit and today's clouds were evidence of that.

Kits pool with city backdrop. Tried out my new ND filter that I bought for a buck. f11 @ 1 full second. Shot with my new Ricohflex VII TLR on Optima 100.
We were meant to travel to Siem Reap, home of Angkor Wat, on a 5 hour speedboat trip down the Mekong. But the water was so low that we were switched to a local flight, giving us time to sample the lovely rooftop saltwater pool.
We bought an eighteen-foot aboveground pool at Costco today. We're going to surprise his brother when he comes home from camp.
First, we had to fill in the holes that the dogs have dug in the lawn over the years. I ran it by the landlord, and he's fine with me killing the lawn in the middle of the yard; after all, when I moved in, the whole thing was two-feet high and dead.
Images from the now closed swimming pool in Harpurhey Manchester.
Here's a little history.
The decline and closure of Harpurhey Baths
It was not really until after the First World War that bathing became a habit. By that time most of the houses being built had their own bathrooms where baths could be taken in ease and comfort. This improvement in housing meant that public facilities were no longer required for sanitary purposes. Similarly, relative cheapness and availability of domestic appliances meant that laundries also fell into decline. Manchester City Council closed all its laundries in the early 1980s.
Harpurhey Baths finally closed completely in 2001 after serious defects were discovered in the building’s walls and machinery. Cracks in the baths’ walls that had previously been repaired had widened beyond repair and some of the walls were bowing. There were also problems with the baths’ steam boilers and the drainage system. The North City Family and Fitness Centre, incorporating a 25 metre swimming pool, was due to open 18 months later nearby on Moston Lane, making running repairs to the baths, which would have cost £3m, unfeasible.
