Photographer's Note
This diving board structure (trampolino) was built in the 50s or 60s (I initally thought it might have dated from the Fascist era, which had both a traditionalist and a Modernist school of architecture, but it seems not).
This Kursaal Trampolino was a real landmark for Lido di Ostia in the 50's and 60's, yet at its peak! It's interesting that the diving-board that's there today is a 1997 reconstruction of the 50s original by Attilio Lapadula which was demolished at the beginning of the '70s. Instead of armed cement, this was recreated in lamelled wood ( legno lamellare in italian). The diving boards are respectively 3,5 and 10 meters high.
This reconstruction project in 1997 also marked the beginning of the complex rehabilitation of the Lido di Ostia.
Unfortunately, the Kursaal sea resort is closed during the winter months and I had to almost climb on the fence to get you some shots!...:-)
I played with photoshop and am posting some trials as ws. tell me what you think

hello Eric,
very graphic photo, i like the combination of the circle and the steps. Great reflection in the pool. Strange construction for a swimmingpool. I like this photo more than the ws. Fresher colours.
best regards, inn

Can't believe this great shot hasn't received more attention, Eric. It is simply beautiful. The design, the harmony inherent in your pov of these desolate shapes of the trampolino are first-class... a pleasure to look at, with a great note.
Hope you are well, dear friend...
Take care,
sasa

bonsoir Eric, encore une autre façon de prendre cette immense roue, j aime bien aussi, meme je crois mieux car elle est décentrée davantage jusqu à n envoir que la moitié, j aime beaucoup ces couleurs très douces et les reflets dans l eau, moi non plus je ne comprends pas trop ce manque d intérêt qui envahit les membres TE depuis quelques mois...à moins que nous postions de "cartes postales" bon, mais nous sommes tjs là, allez bises
et au 25?

Bonjour Eric
elle me plait bien cette photo avec son graphisme et son côté abandonné : les teintes froides apportées par le PP y sont pour beaucoup dans cette sensation. Joli cadrage.
amicalement

une belle série avec ce plongeoir... et il est en effet très inspirant et intéressant. Graphique avec tellement de combinaison. Belle lumière également.
