Thanks, Ann, Bob and Alan. The reflecting pool is a mess. Yes, Bob, there is some pollen there, but most of it is algae and pond scum/ The situation is disgraceful.
It's bad enough that this national treasure is in such a sorry state. The worst part is that we -- the American taxpayers -- paid $34,000,000.00 less than three years ago to rebuild the pool, change the source of the water, and prevent the accumulation of algae and scum: http://www.nps.gov/nama/planyourvisit/lincoln-memorial-reflecting-pool.htm http://photoblog.nbcnews.com/_news/2012/09/26/14113586-dcs-not-so-reflecting-pool-is-full-of-algae-after-34-million-renovation?lite Dan Dan Matyola http://www.pentaxphotogallery.com/danieljmatyola On Mon, Jun 22, 2015 at 1:33 PM, Alan C <c...@lantic.net> wrote: > You have got to be kidding.
