This woman said, “Excuse me,” as she walked in front of my camera toward the pool. In her haste to reach it she probably didn't realize that my camera was already trained at where she was headed.

Upon reaching the pool she stood a few moments fixated at it and seemingly trying to decide what to do. It was as if she felt compelled to interact with it somehow as if it were a living thing.

Finally she gently sat down and reached for the pool's surface. She probably wasn't thinking that touching the water's surface would ease all her worries away but that's just what I see on her face looking at her photograph. Her thoughts and expression may well be what others go through when visiting the garden.
