    The reflecting pool, designed by the firm of renowned architect I.M. Pei, is so large that the curvature of the Earth had to be taken into account to keep water from spilling over the sides!

    A breathtakingly serene and beautiful spot in the middle of the city. Soak in all the architectural beauty Boston has to offer.

    My favourite spot in all of Boston. Hint: for a great foto, just sit down on the side walk and get a neat angle on the water in the reflecting pool

    Beautiful. I know it's a church, but it has a very romantic energy.

    Keep your hands, feet, children or pets out of the reflection pool... It's recycled sewage water. Just saying.

    It's not recycled sewage water. It used to be the air conditioning for the Church.
