Kuler

Cloud based colour. Been using this a lot since I discovered it and so many people I tell know very little about it, check it out for Adobe CS integration of colour magic!

If only we could still stay in the 'La Concha'. Designed by Paul Revere Williams and complete in 1961 it has a charm unlikely to be seen on the strip ever again.

Tidal salt-water open air swimming pools

Whilst planning some bank holiday camping trips I came across this little gem of a site listing all the Tidal salt-water open air swimming pools in the UK. As facinating as the Lido's of the 1930's I've always wanted to visit as many as possible. A resource like this is handy, thanks.
