Belvedere viewing terrace and reflection pools. Tanguá Park, Curitiba, PR, Brazil.
This park was inaugurated in 1996, the Tanguá Park surprises with its beauty as an example of urban space being re-utilized - on one old complex of disactivated quarries -, and it is part of the Barigüi river preservation project joining Tingüi and Barigüi parks. This park with an area of 450 thousand square meters has two quarries connected by a 45 meter tunnel that may be crossed on foot by a path over the water. It can be visited by boat or on foot (hiking). The park has a cooper and bicycle track, snack bar, belvedere and Poty Lazzarotto garden.

Hope you are enjoying your Saturday and thanks so much for stopping by.
My dream is of a place and a time where America will once again be seen as the last best hope of earth.

Here is a bird's eye view that overlooks the Lincoln Memorial in the far distance. The round National World War II monument is in the foreground. When tourists like me make it to the top of the Washington Monument, this is what they can see.

The photo is part of a 9/11 Memorial at the Town of Oyster Bay beach (TOBAY) in Long Island, New York.
Many Oyster Bay residents were victims or 1st Responders.
Their names are listed on another part of this wall.
Many of them are gone years later and to this day due to illnesses caused by the toxic exposure around Ground Zero.
The Memorial overlays one of the two Reflecting Pools at the World Trade Center in NYC.

Alleys are awesome. This splash of color caught my eye after a rainstorm in New Orleans. A man stands in quiet phone conversation with the load roar of color echoing around him.
Constitution Gardens on the National Mall is a surprisingly good place to spot ducks in winter. I visited early morning and didn't see nearly as many as usual so I walked over to the Lincoln Memorial Reflecting Pool to see if I could change my luck. In addition to several Mallards, there were a couple dozen Buffleheads!
The reflecting pool is located between the Lincoln Memorial and the WWII Memorial, about 2,030-ft long and 167-ft wide. The ducks stayed in the center for the most part (I hoped they'd come closer) but still a better look than I find anywhere else for these lesser-seen ducks.

From www.millenniumpark.org:
Designed by Spanish artist Jaume Plensa and inspired by the people of Chicago, The Crown Fountain is a major addition to the city's world-renowned public art collection.
The fountain consists of two 50-foot glass block towers at each end of a shallow reflecting pool. The towers project video images from a broad social spectrum of Chicago citizens, a reference to the traditional use of gargoyles in fountains, where faces of mythological beings were sculpted with open mouths to allow water, a symbol of life, to flow out.
A fountain is the memory of nature, this marvelous sound of a little river in the mountains translated to the city. For me, a fountain doesn't mean a big jet of water. It means humidity, the origin of life.

The National Capitol Columns
architectural style: Corinthian columns
The monument consists of twenty-two Corinthian columns, centered in the 20 acres known as the Ellipse Meadow. They were originally part of the U.S. Capitol building's east portico.The Columns now stand on a foundation of stones, constructed from the old east portico's steps. The reflecting pool is fed by small stream which runs down a channel in the steps.
