National Harbor in MD, 10-1-08

One of the streets with some unusual posts.

Metal eagle sculptures!!
View from Hotel shows the Wilson Bridge in the background. The green mound of trees at the right end of the bridge (behind the NH banner) is where George and the late Martha had their nest for a few years.
This unusual sculpture is called "The Awakening". It had been at Hains Point in D.C. for several years and was just relocated to Nat'l Harbor.
