They say that Space Mountain is the highest point in Florida. What about an infinity pool at the top of that!

Or, you know, just at the top of a tall building. Any tall building.

True, Anais -- you're more imaginative than Khell. Top of a building is fine -- and there must be hundreds of Miami condos with a pool on top.

I'm not sure if Space Mountain is taller than their "Everest" now, but it IS a widely told Florida joke. (Not the highest point in FL, however: there's a hilly region north of the DIsney domains, and they presumably qualify for highest elevation in the state.)

But I was writing about places where hills are close to the seaside so that one gets a decent view off the infinity-edge.

Why not just tilt the pool? Or build up some land with some fill dirt?

Tilting -- nope; there's a dictum: water seeks its own level.

Using fill (as it's called) is damned expensive -- thousands per cubic yard -- and you'd have to elevate the whole house. (You'd hardly want to go up a flight of steps to swim...) Also -- UGLY!
