20140103_1031995 Poised For Entry (Fri 03 Jan)

Bulli Rock Pool, Illawarra, NSW

A greyer start to the day than yesterday, but the sun would soon burn the cloud off. One person is already in the Bulli rock pool doing laps on our left, and another is poised for entry on the right.

As part of cost saving plans the local council wanted to either bulldoze some of these rock pools, or "run (them) to fail", meaning that they wouldn't maintain them and just bulldoze them when they became unsafe. That proposal copped the strongest number of objections from local residents, who consider the rock pools which appear every couple of suburbs an essential part of the area's character.

Ok- if that was here, I'd be thinking it was a bit cold for swimming, but I guess it's pleasantly warm before the heat of the day,

Same thing happens herein the US. It's easier and cheaper to demolish something rather than maintain it. Very interesting composition.

I gather these are seawater filled pools
Interesting shot. Whats more interesting is they would let them go to pot to ultimately get their way. Government….. can't live with then, can't live with them.
