HELPFUL TIP:

Settings should always be chosen with care. Consider the emotion you want your viewpoint character to feel and how setting choices, weather elements, and symbolism might build a specific mood in the scene, create tension and conflict, or even raise the stakes.

Lazy heat trails drifting up from the water
Rock slabs and wet stone ledges around the pool
Rising heat causing bubbles to ripple up through the water
Hazy air
Pink-faced visitors swimming and relaxing at the edge
Clear water
A sandy or smooth rock bottom
Towels sitting near the edge of the springs
Discarded flip-flops
Leafy branches and palm fronds curling out over the water
Birds flitting through the trees
Rocks and ledges poking up through the water in places
A crust of white or yellow minerals along the waterline
Sunlight flickering over the water's surface
Water bottles sitting near the edge
