The Reflecting Pool Is Cleaner, But Paint Is Peeling

Ducks swim in the Lincoln Memorial Reflecting Pool as cleanup workers and equipment operate along the far bank on the National Mall in Washington, DC, on June 23, 2026. The pool is cleaned following a significant algae bloom, which uncovers widespread peeling of its multi-million dollar blue paint coating. (Photo by Zach D Roberts/NurPhoto)
