The Endless Pool can make a dramatic showpiece for any home. With its modular construction, it can be installed indoors or out and adapted to any aesthetic. While it functions here as a reflecting pond, it's also the industry-leading swim-in-place pool, renowned for its smooth, adjustable current.
robyn and i enjoyed taking photos of the ducks and ducklings swimming in the lincoln memorial reflecting pool...
Gates of Time
These monumental twin gates frame the moment of destruction – 9:02 a.m. – and mark the formal entrances to the Memorial. The East Gate represents 9:01 a.m. on April 19, and the innocence of the city before the attack. The West Gate represents 9:03 a.m., the moment we were changed forever, and the hope that came from the horror in the moments and days following the bombing.
Reflecting Pool
The pool occupies what was once N.W. Fifth Street. Here, a shallow depth of gently flowing water helps soothe wounds, with calming sounds providing a peaceful setting for quiet thoughts. The placid surface shows the reflection of someone changed forever by their visit to the Memorial.

"Bee Drinking Water Reflection" by Patti Deters. A tiny little bee is seen drinking water from a reflecting pool in the golden early morning light. A row of pebbles and rocks create the perfect landing spot to allow this little pollinator insect to easily quench his thirst.

NYC: Lincoln Center / Reflecting Pool
The temporary white tent houses paparazzi snapping luminaries and stars arriving for the Chaplin Award Gala honoring Barbra Streisand
(At far left, down some steps, they arrive by limo. I exited there, between rows of paparazzi, just as Pierce Brosnan arrived)

Looking northeast at the reflecting pool and plaza wall with inscriptions at the Robert F. Kennedy grave site at Arlington National Cemetery in Arlington County, Virginia, in the United States.
Robert F. Kennedy was the third son of Joseph Kennedy, a multimillionaire cinema and movie studio owner and former U.S. ambassador to Great Britain. An attorney, he helped uncover graft and mafia influence in the labor movement while working for the U.S. Senate in the 1950s. When his elder brother, John F. Kennedy, became president in 1961, Robert F. Kennedy was made Attorney General. He resigned in 1964 and successfully ran for the U.S. Senate from New York. During his run for President, he was assassinated on June 6, 1968, at the Ambassador Hotel in Los Angeles by Sirhan Sirhan, a 24-year-old Palestinian.
Kennedy was buried just south of JFK's massive grave site a few days later.
An expansion to the John F. Kennedy grave site was dedicated in 1971 to accommodate Robert Kennedy's grave. Robert F. Kennedy's resting place is only about 50 feet (15 m) southwest from the terrace at the John F. Kennedy site. Robert Kennedy is buried on the upslope side of the walkway, his burial vault marked by a white cross and a slate headstone set flush with the earth. Opposite his grave is a granite plaza designed by architect I. M. Pei and dedicated on December 6, 1971. A low granite wall similar to the one at the John F. Kennedy terrace contains quotations from famous Robert F. Kennedy speeches, and a small reflecting pool. As with his brother, Robert Kennedy's first grave was a temporary one, about 10 feet (3.0 m) upslope from its current location.
The Lincoln Memorial, looking west from the Washington Monument. The Potomac River and Arlington, Virginia are in the background. The Arlington Memorial Bridge goes off to the left. The Reflecting Pool, which runs between the Lincoln Memorial and Washington Monument on the Mall, is in the foreground.
You can see the Netherlands Carillon on the Virginia side. The Iwo Jima Memorial is near the carillon, but I can't make it out. On the left edge is "Resurrection City," a shanty town that was built in the Mall for a few weeks, as part of a political demonstration. Remember, this was 1968.
Washington, DC
I decided to go back to the Lincoln Monument to reshoot photos that I have shot before just to see if I had a different perspective. Not so much. After a long winter shooting eagles, and a trip to Florida shooting all types of wildlife, it was nice to use the tilt-shifts (and shoot architecture). Canon 5D III, Canon TS-E 17mm f/4L II.

There are many sculptures around the reflecting pool at the Getty Villa. This young man sleeping on a rock is the only one in it.
Lewis Ginter Botanical Garden Is a private botanical garden in Henrico County at the north edge of Richmond, Vriginia. Lewis Ginter bought the property in 1884 and through a variety of transformations
the garden today is a wonderful place to enjoy nature, both outside and in their conservatory. I caught
this nice lighting after a brief rain shower.
This tour of the Ginter Botanical Garden was part of a visit with my flickr contact John H. Bowman and
his wife Ruth Ann in late-April, 2012.
