Carnival Pools

Early morning photo walk around a Carnival cruise ship resulted in this series of pool photos.  My problem is I don’t remember what ship or what trip these are from.

Confidante Pools

How is your weekend going so far?  I hope it is amazing…..if not here is a photo of the Confidante Hotel pools on Miami Beach Florida.  I took this photo right after sunrise, when the pools were empty.  Otherwise, I’d never get a photo of this spot without tons of humans in and around the pools.

Where I Should Be Now...

Here is another holiday photo for you.  I took this last year at this time and if not for COVID, I’d probably be there again….  I miss you @seafireresort.  Someday I’ll be back to visit you and the rest of Grand Cayman.

Cayman Pool

This photo and almost everyone I’ve posted in the last few months are from a better time…. We’ll get back to better times at some point.  Until then, I’ll keep posting images that remind us of happier days and amazing places.

Post Cayman Sunset

This is the beautiful sky about 20 minutes after sunset in Grand Cayman.  The amazing pool and resort are pretty good as well.  Good times……right now I’d love to be back at this spot.  But like everyone else I’m doing my part to limit the spread of COVID-19….so no travel for a while….

Seafire's Fire

At the Kimpton Seafire Resort in Grand Cayman, they have this outdoor fire pit that they have going every night.  It seems weird to me to have a fire going at a spot that is over 80 degrees year-round.  I suppose, it looks nice.  Regardless, I captured this photo of it with the resort, pool and Caribbean Sea in the background.

Seafire Pool

MJ and I spent some time recently at a Seafire Resort in the Cayman Islands. That trip and my crazy work schedule have been the cause of my online absence. I’m sorry about that.

I took this photo at sunset with the ocean and the sunset in the background. This resort had an amazing pool, which we took full advantage of during our time at the resort.

Chernobyl Cultural Center Pool

Short post tonight…..  I took this photo of the pool inside the Pripyat Cultural Center.  Pripyat was a large city next to the Chernobyl Power Plant built to support the employees and their families.  All of this is now within the Chernobyl Exclusion Zone.  As I was exploring the Cultural Center, I happened upon it at the back of the building.  I loved the reflections.

Early Morning

As I’ve said before, I often get up very early on vacation to photograph the location (resort, beach, ship, hotel, etc…) before the rest of the tourist wake up.  That was the case with this spot as well.  I wanted to capture this spot without anyone in the way. 

This is from a resort north of Cancun Mexico from last February.
