The Washington Monument in Washington, DC.
The view of the Washington Monument from the steps of the Lincoln Memorial with the Reflecting Pool.
Taken in 2006.
The three people walking beside the reflecting pool at the Christian Science Center look like they should be getting wet, but they're not. The pool is an "infinity pool" so it seems to have no "edge." By the way, it's 686 feet (209m) long and 98 feet (30m) wide.

So that's why they call it the Reflecting Pool!
Seriously, this is a picture of the Reflecting Pool more than the Washington Monument. To demonstrate that, I flipped the photo (top is on the bottom and bottom is on the top). You can barely tell!
This is a spectacular sunrise as seen from inside the Lincoln Memorial. It is the same viewpoint that the statue of President Lincoln has for eternity.
Brave ice walkers stop for their selfie on the frozen Reflecting Pool of the Lincoln Memorial in Washington, DC.
This shot was taken at the Lincoln Memorial but not from “in front” of Lincoln. This shot is from the side of the monument. You can walk all the way around the monument and there are nice views of Virginia from the side. There is a very nice view of the Memorial Bridge and Arlington Cemetery beyond, that I will post later if I have a decent shot of it. Walking around the corner, I saw this shot of someone capturing the beautiful vista of the monuments. For some reason, the Lincoln Memorial was not lit up tonight, or at least it wasn’t when I was there taking this shot. Shot with a 70-200 telephoto lens, 2.8 hand held, on a Canon 5D body.

The reflecting pool at the foot of Capitol Hill is always popular with seagulls--and tourists. For the first time, my work in Picasa to texture and edit a photo resulted in the destruction of the photo. I liked the lost version of this photo better (isn't that always the case) but could not recreate it completely. I'm in recovery mode from Thanksgiving--lots of clean-up still to do.

There is a rectangular pool in front of the church. When I see the church from the low angle, looks like it's floating on the water.

Before opening to the public, 9/11 Memorial Museum staff place a white rose at the name of each victim who has a birthday that day.
The names of every person who died in the 2001 and 1993 attacks are inscribed into bronze panels edging the Memorial pools, a powerful reminder of the largest loss of life resulting from a foreign attack on American soil and the greatest single loss of rescue personnel in American history.
This is a redo of a picture I had posted earlier. I got a bit carried away before and oversaturated the colors. I posted it in haste and it had been bothering me ever since, so I went back to the original and reprocessed, this time in HDR Pro with 3 exposures. I also removed an ugly chain link fence that ran through the middle of the picture, as they had it cordoned off for maintenance.

The pool is drained before winter sets in and freezes it solid - this was taken back in September.
We can lift ourselves out of ignorance, we can find ourselves as creatures of excellence and intelligence and skill.

Leo Friedlander is best known for his colossal public monuments, including the equestrian statues Valor and Sacrifice at Washington’s Memorial Bridge, and the thirty-three-foot figures representing the “four freedoms” (speech, press, religion, and assembly) created for the 1939 New York World’s Fair.
Together with my Canadian friend David, we went on an early morning shoot on the Washington Mall. As we both shared the crisp air at sunrise and walked among the life-like statues of soldiers slogging through the battlefield, he remarked to me that Americans seemed to show their patriotism in symbols and memorials far more frequently than most Canadians.
I don't know if that's true, but I certainly don't feel the need to keep this image waiting for Memorial Day or Armed Forces Day when I can proudly display it on Any Day. Like today.
Dedicated to my dad, who proudly wore the uniform and to all my flickr friends who have served or who have been spouses or kids of those who have served. You need to be remembered all year 'round.
I think I'll keep this one up through 9/11 as a tribute to the fallen on that tragic day.
