This placid pool belies the chaos that occurred on this site between 9:01 a.m., represented by the gate in the distance, and 9:03 a.m. on that same morning, April 19, 1995, represented by another gate behind the photographer ... at 9:02 a terrorist bomb killed 168 innocent, unsuspecting citizens in the Alfred P. Murragh Federal Building. Dec. 28, 2006
The Singing Tower is the centerpiece of the gardens. The tower was built at the highest elevation of the site, south of a reflection pool that allows the water to reflect its full image. A 60-bell carillon set within the 205-foot (62 m) tall, Late Gothic Revival tower that was designed by architect Milton B. Medary. Construction on the tower began in 1927 and was completed for the dedication of the gardens in 1929, when it was dedicated by President Calvin Coolidge. The tower is 51 feet (16 m) square at its base, changing form at 150 feet (46 m) high to an octagon with 37 feet (11 m) sides that include sculptures designed by Lee Lawrie. The tower is surrounded by a 15-foot (4.6 m) moat that serves as a Koi pond. It is built of pink Etowah marble and gray Creole marble, mined in Tate, Georgia, and Florida native coquina stone, from Daytona Beach, Florida. (reference: Wikipedia)

Always monitor the wind. If it is not too windy, head for the Capital Mall. But watch out for the ducks in the water.:-)
Wandering the Mall on Saturday. The place was a little trashed, from a rally, and somewhat under construction.

Slightly off the beaten path is the the memorial to Law Enforcement Officers killed in the line of duty. Two walls on either side of a reflecting pool are carved with the names of the officers. At the head of each outer wall is a statue of a lion or lioness, and on the inner wall are the lion cubs they are protecting. It is a very moving place.
