Poolside

An inviting blue Spanish pool. Your instinct isn’t to dive into the cool waters, but to observe its ripples, glints of sunshine, textures and colours. Click first image to view the gallery

You also feel compelled to capture the top arch of the steps that take you gently into the water – but never set a foot in yourself. It’s almost a crying shame that the searingly bright metal is dappled with watermarks.

  Thanks Tomaz! All thanks to some sub-tropical light. I didn’t feel the need to jump in – would have ruined the shot!

  Thank you. I’d rather look at those than take a swim!

      Oh! Stick with your camera, then. I’m rubbish at swimming too – don’t like getting my face wet!
