The strange bridge overhead felt like a nod to Camus — a concrete cell with open ceiling and a bed that allows you look up at the stars…

In this case I find chromatic fringe a nice detail. Look at that red line on the shade triangle and then even stronger descending to the pool. Here you might want to enhance those. Also, the tilt and lens distort both suggest a bit of tipsy on the poolside. Some tilt and shift can make it more interesting – like you are about to fall into the pool – which may well have been the case. Not like you would be the first guy to do that taking shots by the pool – so to speak.

thanks Peter, and John – I try to stay tipsy. I am standing on a series of steps built into the pool, so yeah, I was on the edge. The 16-35mm f/2.8 Canon lens is still my favorite. Oh and here is another domestic scene on the walk back to the room:

Steve — on your next trip to Tucson, try to stay at Ventana, designed by the same architect, and turned out very nicely. And be sure to walk the Ventana Canyon trail, just behind the hotel — one of my favorites in the Catalina foothills.
And thanks again for all your cool CC photo posts here!

As a person who wanted to be an architect, I absolutely love architecture that intergrates with nature. When, as in this example, the elements of a house discreetly blend with those of the environment, the result is harmonious perfection. I also always wanted a lookout to the heavens. So this is just wonderful!

This is like a design I did for a roof terrace for a London home in 1994 for Gardens Illustrated competition, it was runner up, and the winner’s design was much more conventional and got built at Chelsea Flower Show
