"The Lincoln Memorial Reflecting Pool is the largest of the many reflecting
pools in Washington, D.C., United States. 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."

My first home in Washington D.C. when I came to live in the USA was here
in this beautiful city.
The view from my bedroom window included the tip of the Washington
Monument - at night the blinking lights were like a beacon in an
unfamiliar sky.
The first time I ever laced up white leather boots - attached to shiny
blades, and stepped gingerly onto ice - was on the rather
rough frozen Reflecting Pool. That was the severe winter of 1962, the
year when my life was about to change in many ways as I adventured
forth headfirst!
All photos taken with iPhone 11 Pro from the plane.
Great to be home again - lots on that never ending 'to do' list.
Heat index here today will reach 105F! Needless to say I will be
staying inside.
