There Was Always a Seat by the Water

Water options: Swimming pool and seaside beach Pool area: Lounge chairs and a yellow water slide Beach setup: Lounge chairs and umbrellas

The common thread in these photos is the way the landscape invites you to stop moving and just watch the water.

Everything is arranged

The pool offers two versions of the same afternoon: the yellow slide for activity, and the surrounding loungers for opting out of it. [1] At the beach, chairs and umbrellas face a calm sea; the setting is already prepared for staying put. [2]

Then the view gets quieter

At the harbor, the water is no longer somewhere to swim. Docked boats replace the slide, and benches on the paved waterfront turn the scene into one for watching rather than joining in. [3]

Across the pool, beach and harbor, there was always somewhere to sit beside the water.

A good rest and recharging by the sea although very hot sometimes.
