Closed for Winter

Closed for Winter

Nothing shows the difference in the changing seasons like a recently closed pool. Something about the still water where children so recently played shows the winding down of the year.

You've captured the cold desolation of a place that normally sparkles with splashes of joy. Well done.

Nice idea and image. It is so true, things do just get "still" at the end of summer.

I can feel the temperatures going down. Really a cool shot and great interpretation.
