rose bowl aquatic center at night

while walking back to my car after the recent arroyo verde awards, i noticed that there were bright lights and noise coming from the aquatic center.

i thought, "seriously?"

it was december after all - cold enough that i could see my breath - and yet the pool was packed.  many seemed to be playing or practicing water polo, while others were just swimming laps.  the pool was creating a good amount of steam in the air, and it made for quite a sight.
