reflection pools
Shallow mirroring waters
Reflection pools are shallow ornamental bodies of water designed to create mirror-like surfaces that reflect surrounding architecture, monuments, or landscape.
The still water doubles the visual impact of what it reflects: The Lincoln Memorial's reflection pool stretches toward the Washington Monument.
They appear in formal gardens, memorials, and public spaces where architects want to amplify a sense of grandeur or contemplation.
