According to the 911memorial.org, the nearly 3,000 names of the men, women, and children killed in the attacks of September 11, 2001 and February 26, 1993 are inscribed on bronze parapets surrounding the twin Memorial pools. The display of these names is the very heart of the Memorial. The design of the names parapet provides a direct relationship between the visitor, the names, and the water, allowing for a feeling of quiet reverence between the visitor and the Memorial. Names are stencil-cut into the parapets, allowing visitors to look through the names at the water, and to create paper impressions or rubbings of individual names. At night, light shines up through the voids created by each letter of a name.
Have a great Friday....thanks for all your visits and comments!!!!

Don't Touch my Birdie by Parokya Ni Edgar
Kapag ako'y nababato
Pinaglalaruan ko ang birdie ko
Ang cute cute naman kasi
Kaya ko siya binili
My birdie is my bestfriend
Ang dami naming maliligayang sandali
Madalas ko siyang pinapakain ng birdseed
Mahal kita o birdie ko, 'wag kang lalayo
Chorus:
Don't touch my birdie
Resist temptation please
You don't have to grab my birdie
Just call it, and it will come
Adlib:
Ang birdie ko ay nakakatuwa
Parang cobra na mahilig manuka
Kapag nilabas na mula sa kulungan
Tuloy-ttuloy na ang aming kasiyahan
Di naman ako madamot talaga
Ayaw ko lang na hinahawakan s'ya ng iba
Ang birdie ko ay medyo masungit
Konting hawak lang siguradong magagalit
Repeat Chorus:
Interlude:
It will come
Bridge:
Huwag ka sanang magalit sa akin
Tuwing ang birdie ko ay aking hihimasin
Sana'y maunawaan mo
Mahal na mahal ko ang birdie ko
Pati mga itlog nito
Repeat Chorus: (2x)
Coda:
It will come
It will come

a chamber orchestra had a concert at sunset in a park scented with magnolia and little pockets of light peeking through trees
a crowd of people sat on a lawn, separated from the violins and violists and celloists by a rippling pond painted with distorted greens and blacks
the musicians were playing songs i'd played with my high school orchestra
it was one of those assignments where you wish people you love could be there to soak in all the goodness with you.
for all of two frames i noticed this girl, kneeling in one of those pockets of light, peering into the pond just before the music began
then she ran back to her seat
I was truly surprised that this past weekend's Easter trip to DC produced such great weather.

Of course, I am always looking out for great private rooftops or unique public locations and if anyone knows of any please contact me via flickrmail or rbudhuphotos [at] gmail.com.

Dawn sky behind theWashington Memorial and Capitol from Lincoln Memorial. The wind from the night's storm kept the water in the reflecting pool choppy.
Black-bellied Whistling Duck by the Capitol Reflecting Pool. Usually found much further south, but may have been blown north by storm Arthur.
[en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Washington_Monument]:
The Washington Monument is an obelisk on the National Mall in Washington, D.C., built to commemorate George Washington, once commander-in-chief of the Continental Army and the first President of the United States. Located almost due east of the Reflecting Pool and the Lincoln Memorial, the monument, made of marble, granite, and bluestone gneiss, is both the world's tallest predominantly stone structure and the world's tallest obelisk, standing 554 feet 7 11⁄32 inches (169.046 m) tall according to the National Geodetic Survey (measured 2013–14) or 555 feet 5 1⁄8 inches (169.294 m) tall according to the National Park Service (measured 1884).
An oldie that I've temporarily bumped up to the top of my photostream: "Rainbow Lake", a reflecting pool inside Shenandoah Caverns.
A reflection of a tree in a shallow pool on the Columbus Convention and Trade Center campus in Columbus, Ga. This pool is part of a fantastically long water feature on the grounds.
