Cool Pool Reflections (Weekend Reflections # 151)

Santa Barbara, California
Last October Vicki and I drove to Santa Barbara for a little anniversary getaway. We stayed at this motel. It was built in the 50's or 60's but it was nice and walking distance to the beach. 

I hope your weekend is cool and relaxing!

Please only link posts that have picture/s of reflections.

I'd like to disturb the calm surface of that pool too—or just walk to the beach. Nice choice to have!

Anyplace with a pool is a good place to stay. At least I think so. I like the way the buildings frame the canvas. Happy weekend James.

Interesting to see how we can only see the reality of the building in the reflection!

The pool looks fantastic. Although maybe a little cold for a swim first thing in the morning. :)

Hope you had a wonderful anniversary.

Extraordinary reflection, James, of a subject

Wow, that water is so still. Perfect choice!

I love that shot. Looks like a great pool to canon ball into.

The 50s style motel and pool are beautifully preserved here. I do love that fringe of lime green grass, reflected!

Bises,
