Swimming Pool for One

an experience of city and town

Every year near Sydney's Bondi Beach is the annual Sculpture By The Sea exhibit.
 
Now, most of these 'sculptures' are pretty quirky. Mostly curious shapes or interesting installations dotted about the sandstone foreshore from Bondi to Bronte.
 
Occasionally you get some truly inspired reflection on the Aussie experience. In this case, our built environment and people's lives.
 
Here we have an industrial skip as backyard pool, complete with ladder and tiles. Built for one. And right near the sand. Lifeguard not required. The backyard experience for Aussie homes with no backyard.
