Named after a famous Aussie swimmer Andrew 'Boy' Charlton this pool is on Wooloomooloo Bay and has a great cafe.
Wiki says "Andrew Murray Charlton (12 August 1907 – 10 December 1975), known popularly as Boy Charlton, was an Australian freestyle swimmer of the 1920s and 1930s who won a gold medal in the 1500 m freestyle at the 1924 Summer Olympics in Paris. He set five world records and also won a further three silver and one bronze medal in his Olympic career."

You could shoot this a bit differently I think (if you don't mind me saying do). I'd take two or even three photos in the portrait ode and stitch them together.
ReplyDeleteI've not tried that cafe. Must do it some time.

ReplyDeleteWatery Wednesday
Not only is it outdoors and cantilevered over harbour, it is salt water and heated ... paradise in eight lanes. We can actually thank Frank Sartor (for something) who after a public campaign against its demolition oversaw a complete refit.
