Here is a view of the Biltmore Hotel's famous 700,000-gallon swimming pool, and is the largest hotel pool in the continental United States. ---- Here is a story from the following web site about the pool: http://www.palmbeachpost.com/getaways/content/entertainment/getaways/bandb/south_biltmore.html ---- Before he was Tarzan, Johnny Weissmuller was a swimming teacher and broke a world record at the Biltmore pool. Weissmuller was fired for running naked through the hotel one night. His female fans put up such a fuss, the hotel management hired him back.

That looks like a cement lake. What a pool!! Gorgeous shot of it, too, Jelly. Nice angle, composition, and colors. Good work.
