These photos were taken in 2007, when the pool was undergoing maintenance. Today, the pool is still drained because of the ongoing drought conditions. This was the private pool of William Hearst when he resided here in the 1900s.

Taken from Wikipedia, "The Neptune Pool is the name of the outdoor swimming pool ensemble at Hearst Castle, in San Simeon, California. Featuring the significant swimming pool, it also includes: fountains, ornamental pools, sculptures, marble pavilions, alabaster lanterns, dressing rooms, and an ancient temple facade (mainly reconstructed).
The Neptune Terrace, including its huge pool shell, are raised up behind massive retaining walls on the Hearst Castle ridge-line in the Santa Lucia Mountains. It is to the north and lower than the main Casa Grande and the guest house terrace, with vistas of the ranch, Point San Simeon coastline, and Pacific Ocean.
In 2014, the pool was drained due to severe drought conditions in Southern California. The pool had been leaking and evaporating 5,000 gallons of water per day. "
