The King tomb is adjacent to the original Ebenezer Baptist Church. The tomb is surrounded by a reflecting pool. In 2007, Dr. King's wife Coretta Scott King was buried alongside him.
I have a few other photos I am going to keep uploading from the weekend as I find them. This was quickly shot across the reflecting pool. Even thought the wind had the pool less than perfect, I still liked the final result of the scene.
This weekend reminded me how much I enjoy just getting in crowded situations like this and looking for things that interest me to take photos of. There is a real fun to it all.
The fountain/reflecting pool at what was the entrance to the Getty Villa. It is not the main entrance to the museum, but rather was the front courtyard when this was J Paul Getty's home.
The National September 11 Memorial & Museum, located on 6-acres of the World Trade Center site, is a tribute of remembrance and honor to the 2,983 men, women and children killed in the terror attacks of September 11, 2001 at the World Trade Center site, near Shanksville, Pa., and at the Pentagon, as well as the six people killed in the World Trade Center bombing in February 1993
The National September 11 Memorial, designed by American architect Michael Arad of Handel Architects in conjunction with landscape architecture firm Peter Walker and Partners, was formally dedicated on September 11, 2011, commemorating the tenth anniversary of the attacks. Arad and Walker's design was selected from 5,201 entries in an open, international memorial contest, initiated by the Lower Manhattan Development Corporation (LMDC), as per the specifications of architect Daniel Libeskind.
Two reflecting pools, each about an acre in size with 30-foot waterfalls--the largest manmade in waterfalls in North America--cascading down their sides, are set within the footprints of the original Twin Towers. The names of 2,983 victims are in inscribed on 76 bronze plates attached to the parapet walls that form the edges of the memorial pools, arranged based on "meaningful adjacencies"--an algorithm developed by Local Projects which includes proximity at the time of the attacks, company or organization affiliations for those who worked at the World Trade Center or Pentagon, and approximately 1,200 requests from family members.
The Memorial Plaza surrounding the pools provides a contemplative escape, with a grove of more than 400 swamp white oak trees, each selected from nurseries within a 500-mile radius of the three attack sites. A small clearing in the grove, known as the Memorial Glade, designates a space for gatherings and special ceremonies.
The National September 11 Memorial Museum Pavilion, designed by Craig Dykers and Kjetil Thorsen of Snøhetta, is scheduled to open on or around September 11, 2012. The museum will feature over 110,000 square feet of exhibition space telling the story of the 9/11 through multimedia displays, archives, narratives and a collection of monumental and authentic artifacts.
Two "Gates of Time," marked 9:01 and 9:03 respectively, frame the moments the explosion occurred on April 19, 1995.

Algae blooms in the Lincoln Memorial Reflecting Pool on September 13, 2012.
The pool, which underwent a $34 million renovation in 2011 and 2012 to repair leaks and to install a freshwater system that would prevent algae from forming in the pool. It failed. The National Park Service now believes it will need to spend hundreds of thousands of dollars a year pumping ozone into the pool to prevent algae formation.

The wall reads 9:01. A matching wall at the near end of the pool reads 9:03. The bomb exploded outside the Murrah Federal Building at 9:02 a.m. on April 19, 1995, ending the lives of 168 people. The memorial stands at the site of the destroyed building.
The reflecting pool is only a couple of inches deep: I think several of the white dots are coins.
free association: the coins you need for that bait machine are just under the surface of the water.
