Instructive photography

This is a picture of the pool area at the Boat Club, the site of both our Christmas-Day lunch and the reception being held in Nick's and my honor. I'm posting it because:

(a) it's gorgeous;

(b) male and female members are allowed to swim there; nonmember female guests are allowed to swim there; nonmember male guests are forbidden from swimming there; and

(c) Nick got in trouble for snapping this -- no photos allowed!

In sum: beautiful, but the rules give you an idea of some typical Islam-influenced restrictions.
