The Reflecting Pool with Washington Monument View

Splendid daytime view of the Reflecting Pool with the Washington Monument mirrored in its tranquil waters. Visitors stroll along the edges of this 618-meter-long water mirror ideally connecting the Lincoln Memorial to the monument dedicated to George Washington. The obelisk, 169 meters tall, is the tallest stone structure in the world and undisputed symbol of the American capital. Daylight enhances the contrast between white marble and blue sky reflected in the water, creating one of Washington most iconic images.
