REFLECTING POOL

:''This page is about the general memorial; for the one in Washington, D.C. see Reflecting Pool.''
One famous reflecting pool lies between the Lincoln Memorial and the Washington Monument in Washington, D.C..

A 'reflecting pool' is a structure often used in memorials. It generally consists of a shallow pool of water, usually quite calm. It is designed to inspire solemnity and, as its name implies, reflection. Notable reflecting pools include:

The King Center in Atlanta, Georgia commemorating Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.

★ The Oklahoma City National Memorial, site of the Oklahoma City bombing

★ Between the Lincoln Memorial and the Washington Monument in Washington, D.C.

★ At the University of Notre Dame, below the Hesburgh Library mosaic of Christ the Teacher.

Additional reflection pools are shown in the gallery below.
