This location is one of the eight ecozones making up the Earth’s land surface.  Two of the most beautiful distractions in this neotropical environment are the luscious cool water and warm, soft sand.

It was natural to make an image emphasizing transparency in color, light and form.  The design of this pool is something to appreciate.  The palms and 3 water falls constitute an inviting landscape.  But does it function as a place to swim and enjoy the water?  Yes, fantastico!

I walked down wide, gradual and easy tile steps to shoulder high water and glided to the base of the palm which was the perfect height for sitting submerged under about 6 inches of water.  The perimeter of the pool covered by smooth, square tiles provided a useful places to walk or sit.  Refreshed and back to my workflow of image downloads.  More to follow…
