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.

indeed (for those who had no idea), the emperor (ShahJahan) built this tomb in memory of his wife, Mumtaz.
I notice I didn't get a closer shot of this. While the nickel thing didn't work, Eden was impressed that we were seeing the building on the back of the penny.
La Lincoln Memorial Reflecting Pool (o Piscina Reflectante del Monumento a Lincoln) es quizás la piscina reflectante más conocida de Washington D.C. Se encuentra al este del Monumento a Lincoln y es un piscina larga y rectangular que sale en muchas de las fotos del Monumento a Washington.
Su ubicación está al oeste del National Mall, y tiene alrededor de 618 metros (2.029 pies) de largo por 51 metros (167 pies) de ancho. Tiene una profundidad de alrededor de 46 centímetros (18 pulgadas) en los lados y de 76 cm (30 pulgadas) en el centro. Contiene unos 25 millones y medio de litros de agua (6.750.000 galones).
La Capitol Reflection Pool (o Piscina Reflectante del Capitolio) se encuentra al oeste del Capitolio de los Estados Unidos, en el extremo oriental del National Mall. A su lado se encuentra el Memorial a Ulysses S. Grant, que representa la victoria de la Unión que consiguió el General Grant durante la Guerra Civil Estadounidense.
La piscina puede ser vista en un episodio de South Park ("Super Best Friends") y en una escena de la película Forrest Gump. En el episodio 19 de la octava temporada de la serie de animación Padre de Familia (Family Dad), el protagonista Peter Griffin se pelea contra su mismo reflejo.

The Lincoln Memorial Reflecting Pool is the largest of the many reflecting pools in Washington, D.C., U.S.. It is a long and large rectangular pool located on the National Mall, directly east of the Lincoln Memorial, with the Washington Monument to the east of the reflecting pool. Part of the iconic image of Washington, the reflecting pool hosts many of the 24 million visitors a year who visit the National Mall. It is lined by walking paths and shade trees on both sides. Depending on the viewer's vantage point, it dramatically reflects the Washington Monument, the Lincoln Memorial, the Mall's trees, and/or the expansive sky.

On a calm night, the reflecting pool certainly does produce some nice reflections.

I could go on for days about my trip back in March to Washington, DC with my good buddy, Dave Vernon, to shoot and decompress plus get some great education from the instructors at Photoshop World. It was truly a once-in-a-lifetime experience and I'm currently working on a photo book, complete with copy about my observations of our nation's capital and many of the images you see here; let's just say it ain't the photos that are taking me a while to lay out.
I won't bore you with all the details of our excursion as you can head over here and read them on my photo blog, but suffice it to say, vacations like this one are unforgettable and I'm glad I can share that with all of you as well as my good friend and mentor, Dave.
About This Shot
When we got within sight of the Lincoln Memorial, I looked all over for the Reflecting Pool, but couldn't find it; reflections are one of the photographers favorite tools after all. Well, it was there... it just didn't have water in it; they were conducting repairs on the basin.
As we left the Lincoln Memorial and headed down those massive steps looking out across the empty pool, I was inspired. I saw this cyclist and figured that I could capture your not-so-average American postcard from Washington, DC. Why not layer on a little irony over my art? It's more fun that way anyhow.
We visited Thomas Jefferson's Monticello, one of America's most famous
homes, on Sunday, November 1. Thomas Jefferson lived from 1743-1826.
Beginning in 1768, he spent 40 years designing, constructing and
remodelling this home to his liking.
This little reflecting pool is a very popular spot for photos of the house.
My reflection contribution to the Monticello group is quite pathetic compared
to what DavenPhx has posted immediately prior.
Visiting Jason in Boston for the 4th of July in 2010.
-----------------
Second day on my own in Boston.
Had lunch with Jason and then went up to the skydeck on the top of the Prudential Building. Boston isn't laid out on a grid or with much of a north/sound orientation so I was having trouble figuring out where I was. Being above it all and looking down helped get that sorted out.
Looking more south/southwest at the Christian Science Plaza, the Mother Church of the Christian Science religion, the Christian Science reflecting pool and Symphony Hall.
