Description
Though this olympic open air swimming pool was abandoned over thirty years ago and is now filled with rainwater,the tiles on the floor are still surprisingly intact.Related content

The clarity of the water and the lines of the tiles are amazing. Fine shot!
Kudos to the model too!

This is a really "magical moment" picture. The light is perfectly shaping around the beautiful shape of this actress, well lining things that lies deep in the secrets of rainy water Thanks for showing this great art.

Thanks a lot, but in this case it is the model who deserves all the honour. She was brave enough to get in the water which was only just above the freezing point!

Ze had het behoorlijk koud ja... En helaas viel op het einde van de shoot haar gsm ook nog in het water Maar ben wel blij met de resultaten,men heeft recentelijk het zwembad leegepompt waardoor het water dat er nu weer inzit kristalhelder is zodat de vloer tot zijn recht komt.

Inderdaad, nu je het zegt. Toen ik er was, was dat water zo donker.

Bij mijn eerste bezoeken was het ook zo donker,vandaar dat ik behoorlijk verwonderd was nu de vloer te zien. Het heeft de plaats een volledig andere indruk vind ik,je hebt meer het gevoel van een zwembad.

Defenitely brave fromher, cause it is late autumn over here so the water was very cold indeed.

Het zwembad was recent leeggepomt waardoor het water dat er intussen is in geregend kristalhelder is. Daardoor had ik het geluk dat de tegels zo goed te zien waren.
