At any given time, there are 15 to 20 IDEO teams in the field doing research for projects. We are a naturally curious bunch, and tend to collect quite a few artifacts from our trips. In addition to interesting foods, new turns of phrase, and the occasional non-contagious skin disease, we take photos of interesting things in the places we are.

When we see something remarkable, we capture it to show our fellow IDEOers at home in the studio. Now we are sharing some of our blink-worthy images with you. Enjoy!

This outdoor swimming pool is naturally sustainable and filled with spring water sans chlorine. Currently a work in progress, the pool is expected to open in May 2009. By then, the water should flow from natural, nearby springs into the pool and then, after filtering, into a river.
