Every time we go to see the lights at Temple Square I want to take this picture, but I never have a tripod with. This year, I did.

WASHINGTON - AUGUST 28: Hundreds of thousands of people gather at a rally aptly named 'Restoring Honor,' to show support of the US military, organized by conservative US radio and television commentator Glenn Beck, one of the de facto leaders of the Tea Party movement, at the Lincoln Memorial in Washington, DC, on Saturday, August 28, 2010. The rally takes place controversially at the spot where civil rights leader Martin Luther King Jr. made his legendary 'I Have a Dream' speech 47 years ago.

Canopus is actually a city in Egypt with a temple dedicated to Serapis, an ancient Egyptian god. It is also named the Serapeum, like the monument behind the Canopus (and behind me in this photo).

This picture has been flipped upside-down to draw more attention to the reflection.

Looking at the Monument from the reflecting pool

I dream about your seductive call,

But when I answer your courage thus grows small,

Can my love for you be all too strong,

When days are black and nights are long.

You are the moon that eclipsed my light,

So that in darkness I live out my plight,

To sing of the past and heroes great,

For whose deeds I cannot compensate...

Pool is fed by a warm spring so it doesn't freeze over. You should be able to see the steam rising off the surface.

Over 24 million people visit the Reflecting Pool every year, however at dawn you may only find a hand full of photographers awaiting the sunrise.
