Perhaps swimming pools are too much a luxury for the current economic climate?  Maybe it was just time for an upgrade, or an expansion?  Whatever the reason, this place has been closed for a little while now.

It’s nice to find a place that hasn’t yet been ravaged by vandals!  The saving grace here is location – it’s very exposed, and the neighbours probably wouldn’t put up with too much.  I imagine it’s only a matter of time before it’s either reclaimed and demolished, however – it’s prime real estate.

I’m fairly sure that last time I passed by here, the pools were full of water, so either someone’s doing basic maintenance to prevent mosquito breeding colonies forming, or all the pools have cracked and drained.  Let’s hope it’s the former.  At least the pools were always fenced for safety, even if the water was kind of green by the end.

I notice these people love palm trees!  And why not?  They certainly add something to the feel of the place, even when it’s falling into decrepitude.

So, it was a different sight for me, if nothing else.  I’m not sure it was that inspiring, photographically, but it was a worthy place to spend some time by the light of an almost-full moon.
