This is the training pool at the London Aquatics Centre in the Queen Elizabeth Olympic Park. The whole building was designed by Zaha Hadid. One of two buildings designed by her in London. The other is a school in Brixton.

I have been there on the Metro's busiest day ever (at the time). I went to the Jon Stewart/Stephen Colbert's Rally to Restore Sanity and/or Fear in 2010. We wandered around the National Mall for 3 hours, rather than waiting in line for the train. Resized_10...1-jpeg.jpg

Those are some fancy urinals. But I think the collection lip should be closer to the bottom. It's going to be very difficult to hit it accurately when it's on top like that. Make a hell of a mess.

Kubrick started out as a still photographer. And he never stopped. Each frame in any of his films can stand alone as a spectacular still photo.
