Original notes

Originally part of a series on the isolation felt during the COVID pandemic, this picture also evokes a feeling of impermanence at summer’s end

Enhanced description

The pool, drained and lifeless, reflects the end of summer. The bright blue slide stands stark against the muted backdrop, symbolizing the fleeting nature of joy and the inevitable change of seasons.

Description for the visually challenged

An empty swimming pool sits under a gray sky. The slide looms above, a reminder of summer’s joy now faded, leaving a sense of stillness and loss.
