This location is very close to my home. I had never been here before, while the complex was in operation, although I passed it many times. Now that they are abandoned we couldn’t resist jumping inside the pool for a photoshoot.
Both pools, still with their blue tiles, had dirt inside them mainly from the winter floodings. There was a dense green vegetation around it and we were the only ones there, dressed in red.
That day we did a tribute to Hitchcock, who was so enthusiastic about extolling the three RGB colors. Joking, but we really liked the effect of the three colors together.
​
We started taking pictures quite late. Something that tends to happen to us... When we ran out of good light to photograph we went exploring the surroundings and, at the bottom of the property, there was a house that we think it was an old disco or a bar. We went inside. It was very, very dark and there were many bats that got a little disoriented when they heard us, so they almost went against us. It was scary and funny at the same time and gave us an awesome video that will never be seen (and more importantly, heard) by anybody beyond ourselves.
We promised that we would return. It's been over a year now and everything is still abandoned. The pools have even more dirt and espontaneous life growing in them, and we look forward to photographing there again.
