    False or Faux Negative Edge/Infinity Pool - does anyone have photos?

    Hi again - still trying to figure out a clever way to create the illusion of an infinity edge when remodeling an existing pool. We have the perfect setting for a real infinity pool, but being on the desert side of an island with constant trade winds makes it very impractical, not to mention...
