Whitney Hayes – Solemn August

Whitney Hayes spent her summer working with The Highlands Natural Pool in Ringwood, New Jersey to paint a picture of what is truly a magical place. Unexpected, it is an oasis in the middle of a forrest. A  place that is welcoming to all, and full of untouched natural beauty.

A non-profit, the pool is largely maintained by a dedicated group of board members who volunteer their time. True to the pool’s origins, the board members maintain a chemical free pool that is open to the public and kind to the environment.
