10Figure 8 Pool
The Figure 8 Pool lies near Burning Palms Beach in Royal National Park, about an hour outside of Sydney.
There are many natural rock pools around this area, and one just happens to be perfectly shaped like a figure eight. It’s a difficult, slippery, rocky, and steep three- to four-hour walk to reach the swimming hole. NSW National Parks advises people to only visit at low tide when the waves are small.
Painting is an ancient medium and even with the introduction of photography, film and digital technology, it still has remained a persistent mode of expression. So many paintings have been limned over dozens of millennia that only a relatively small percentage of them could be construed as "timeless classics" that have become familiar to the public—and not coincidentally produced by some of the most famous artists of all time. We, of course, have our opinion of what makes the grade and we present them here in our list of the best paintings of all time.
