Great, watery reflections for the day!! Once again, I wish you and your beautiful family a most joyful and Merry Christmas!

Those diving platforms look a little shaky.
Great reflections of a time fading into the past. Those towers look unsafe. Hope the water is deep enough for a fall so no one gets hurt.
Thank you for joining my photo blog. Feel free to come back and leave comments any time.
This isn’t where the whale used to reside, is it?
Not a very welcome-looking swimming hole. Probably much better in the height of the summer.
Is that where the big blue whale guards the swimming hole?
Ah, this photo brings back happy childhood memories.
Yes, to those of you asking this is the place where the Blue Whale resides.
An no this is not an active swimming hole for many decades now. They allow catch and release fishing though.
Santa Rosa has some nice water holes if those are no longer usable.
I always wonder how places like this become neglected. It seems to me someone must have said, “Ah, never mind,” about the place, and that was the end of that. I always wonder about those moments that seem to stop time for a given place.
What a striking photo! Well done.
