Maryland Daily PhotoEvery Week Day a New Picture from MD

There’s so much to say about Fort Washington, that its time to write again about it.   The park surrounding the Fort is open to the public and I’d certainly recommend going to check it out.   Here’s a great shot that shows just a taste of the view that this fort commands along the Potomac.  If you were standing at the location where this photo was taken and you looked to the left, you’d see Mt. Vernon in Virginia, home of George washington.  The flag that flew over Fort Washington during the Civil War was another one of those comically large flags desinged to taunt the enemy like that which flew over Ft. McHenry. You can tell how close Virginia is in this photo.  It’s said that the citizens of Alexandria could see the flag for 10 miles.
