An interesting trend in the new hotels that are propping up these days is having rooftop pools surrounded by cabanas and sun chairs (I think that's what they're called?).
Many of the newer hotels in Los Angeles have them and I'm not really one to frequent such places so this was the first time I've ever been to one, and to this date, my only experience of the rooftop pool.
I was invited to my friend Melissa's birthday party to what was then the SLS Hotel. She's seen here (pictured middle) surrounded by her friends Jessica and Lee Ann. I took a great deal of photos on this day and even went in the water with my camera in hand to take a couple of shots as seen here. The water was ankle deep in this pool but I have other photos where I'm pretty much submerged and tried my best not to drop my camera under water. Anything to get the shot.
