reflecting pool

A Reflecting Pool is a shallow body of water designed to create a mirror-like surface, often found in parks, gardens, or memorials. Its main purpose is to reflect the surrounding landscape or architecture, enhancing both aesthetic beauty and tranquility. A famous example is the Reflecting Pool in Washington, D.C., which lies between the Lincoln Memorial and the Washington Monument. Reflecting pools often evoke feelings of peace and contemplation, making them popular in design for public spaces and memorials. They serve as a place for quiet reflection and connection with nature or historical significance.
