"Lady in the Water" photographed by Toni Frissell and first published in Harper’s Bazaar in December 1947, is one of my all-time favorite. I can't help but stop every time I see it. It was shot at Weeki Wachee Spring, Florida, which has a tourist attraction called the Weeki Wachee mermaids, where young women swim around in the lake. People can watch from an underwater viewing area, where the photo was taken.
It also served as the cover of Bill Evans and Jim Hall's 1962 great Undercurrent album on Blue Note Records.
