outdoor bathing. maybe later

one day, when we have that great little house by the water..there will be the outdoor shower. there is nothing like bathing in the open air (summer of course, unless you live in palm springs a bit more year round).
i took this shot recently at the ace hotel, palm springs. they converted an old howard johnson motel, into this modern, casual and welcoming trendy hotel (a bit too trendy for my grandma pace).
props to their design team....they actually made this cinder block wall a bit softer by painting it white, and functional with a shower next to the pool. you would think a practical option, but the pool was not chlorinated, so the whole weekend i did not see one person partake. at least it was nice to look at.
