These are the original columns from the Capitol building, installed in 1828 and replaced about 130 years later.
My first ducklings of the season! I found them swimming in the newly rebuilt Reflecting Pool.

Lincoln Memorial Reflecting Pool, Washington, DC
Marchers cool their feet in the Reflecting Pool at the Lincoln Memorial during the March on Washington for Jobs and Freedom. August 28, 1963, Washington, DC, USA.
The National September 11 Memorial is a tribute of remembrance and honour to the nearly 3,000 people killed in the terror attacks of September 11, 2001 at the World Trade Center site and at the Pentagon, as well as the six people killed in the World Trade Center bombing in February 1993.
The Memorial’s twin reflecting pools are each nearly an acre in size and feature the largest manmade waterfalls in the North America. The pools sit within the footprints where the Twin Towers once stood. Architect Michael Arad and landscape architect Peter Walker created the Memorial design selected from a global design competition that included more than 5,200 entries from 63 nations.
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.
The main chamber of the Reed Flute Cave, outside Guilin in the Guangxi province, has a large, shallow pool of water which for obvious reasons is called the Reflecting Pool.
Was disappointed at first that it was foggy, but then realized that it could still be an interesting picture. At such an early hour, my only companion was a rather large and very friendly red fox. f/7.1, ISO 100, 2.5 seconds.
I spent some time last Sunday watching these gulls enjoy the water in the U.S. Capitol Reflecting Pool. The "castle" building on the left is an administration building for the Smithsonian museums and the Washington Monument is on the right. The wind was too brisk for good reflections but the sun was warm and it was good to be outside after so many cold and snowy days. The last mounds of snow in my front yard disappeared yesterday, March 8. (Sorry for the tilt: just replaced the earlier one to straighten it but this is one of those photos that just does not want to look straight; I took it at an angle--oops!)
The reflecting pool at Cal Anderson Park in Seattle. This same shot is processed differently below. I could not decide which to use....
