A reflecting pool is a geometrically proportional, shallow pond characterized by an exceptionally calm and tranquil surface. It is typically built near a manmade structure or landscape element so that its mirror-like surface can reflect and magnify adjacent forms. It can be constructed in the middle of a garden, in the center of a courtyard, at the end of a yard, or as the focal point of a seating area in a plaza or urban park. Some of the more famous reflecting ponds found throughout the world are located near the Washington Monument, The University of Western Australia, Planalto Palace in Brasilia, and Hermann Park in Houston, Texas.
