Thank you Joseph not only for your congratulations but for you placement and this wonderful contest - and its prompts! I could just feel the soothing coolness of the water on a humid summer day. And, I loved visualizing the energy of the ladder leading to the water along with the excitement of the anticipation of a dip in the pool! All the best!

Wow! Even in the dry heat that's HOT! So glad you have a place to cool off in the heat. Also so happy you love this - the picture of that sunken pool of water was so cooling and pretty inspiring! Thank you.

Nice place to cool off on hot summer days and yes need to tip toe on those steps. Nicely done, Sam.

Looks like we're going to need it this weekend - another scorcher on the way! Even Hayward is going to be toasty for a couple of days. Hope you have a cool place to hide out in the heat. So glad you enjoyed the trip to this refreshing place! Thank you!
