sculpture: Jason deCaires Taylor
It was a very beautiful and safe way to teach families to snorkel. Selma Trask had
collected several of her sculpture scenes; and arranged them inside a lovely round pool.
It was close enough to the tidal basin that fresh water spilled in, twice on a daily basis;
Keeping everything bright. She installed selective lights so evening lessons were possible-
or those who just wanted to enjoy her art work under a full moon - could enjoy a
special occasion.If a few beautiful fish arrived they were allowed to stay for
twenty four hours and then returned carefully, to their natural rightful home.

Great creative take on the prompt. Love the detail of returning the fish to their home.

that would truly be a very cool sight to see....
Very nice...I want to go!
I wish there were actually such a place to visit. My husband and I would be there in a second.
=)
A 24 hour "vacation" for the fish. This would be something.
Snorkeling among the statues might be fun. I always wanted to try snorkeling. But if I bumped into her I'd probably die of fright!
What a luscious place you have conjured up!
Cool! I never would have thought of that!
What a wonderful resort....love this! :-)
Delightfully real, and yet otherworldly!
