Washington, DC
The Capitol.
At the legislative office buildings.
Doorways and flags at the offices.
The Washington Monument. There is a reflecting pool, dry for the winter but you can see some of it.
The Vietnam War Memorial - The Wall. A place to reflect.
The Vietnam War Memorial: The Patrol sculpture.
The World War II Memorial: A ring of wreaths, and special places for the Pacific and Atlantic war areas. Never at war unbidden, never when unattacked.
The Lincoln Memorial.
Martin Luther's speech at the Lincoln Memorial - I have a dream.
Lincoln's speech at Gettysburg - "Four score and seven years ago...."
The Korean War memorial - with many reflections. There is the big Patrol sculpture. There are etched outlines and figures of the people who died. And then you see yourself, a living person, also reflected there.
The White House. At its distance. Nothing reflected.
