 I remember being fascinated by Edward T Hall's The Hidden Dimension in the 60s in which he describes cultural differences in "spatial dimensions" and how these vary in different contexts.

This capture of individuals gathered at the Lincoln memorial reflecting pond brought that work to mind. I find the groups in this space, bounded as it is by water, fascinating, both the intra- and inter- group dynamics captured.

I was racing against the clock to submit this, having only decided at the last minute to submit anything at all. I wish I had come up with a more interesting title!

I also like the half-presence of the Washington monument. There as the partial reflection, but not dominating the scene.

I like the title. I love the photo. I marked it 9 and since I did not have time to bump it i'll add it to my favorites.

A sort of modern Canaletto!
Totally absorbing - I already looked at it several times
