A kaleidoscope of colours at Annette's pool


When I was at the new Annette Kellermann Aquatic Centre 10 days ago I captured some amazing reflections in the water.


There were so many beautiful colours, patterns and shimmery shapes it reminded me of looking through a kaleidoscope.



The vibrant greens, yellows, oranges and reds of the newly opened aquatic centre took on new shades  reflected in the water.


The pool became a dreamy world of purple, mauve, soft greens, pale pink, faded red, light yellows and blue.

Just the sort of seductive space Marrickville-born Annette Kellermann would have enjoyed diving into during her days performing across Europe and the United States as the Australian Mermaid and Diving Venus in the early 1900s.

  2. Great you have become a follower Carol - welcome to swimming pool stories. Not sure what I will do with these photos but a friend wants to have a go at turning them into paintings. Will continue to look for reflections in pools and all sorts of interesting angles. Happy New Year. Therese
