| [Notas - Normas] Nota do Artista |
| The Roman Pool at Hearst Castlle is styled after an ancient Roman bath such as the Baths of Caracalla in Rome c. 211-17 AD. The mosaic tiled patterns were inspired by mosaics found in the 5th Century Mausoleum of Galla Placidia in Ravenna, Italy. They are also representative of traditional marine monster themes that can be found in ancient Roman baths. The statues are rough copies of ancient Greek and Roman statues.The pool and surrounding room, which were built from 1927-1934, can be compared to an ancient Roman bath. The pool, like the baths, is located indoors. The Roman Pool complex was designed to contain an exercise room, sweat baths, a handball court and dressing rooms |

This picture is absolutely magical. The bright colours, the symmetrical reflection in the water. The blue contrasts the yellow ofcourse, being complementary colours. A real fairy tale place... I like your point of view and the parting of your photo in two almost exact halfs: the upper part and its lower reflection in the water.
