Fort Washington Park, in Fort Washington, Maryland. Historic defensive fort protecting Washington D.C., overlooking Potomac River. National Park Service, National Capital Parks-East.
Interesting sculpture with the Capital Wheel in the background.
The fort is part of the National Park system and is definitely worth a visit if find yourself in the area of DC. The history is interesting but the setting is stunning.
