"Lock the doors and close the blinds -- we're going for a ride..."

We (av, socKs and myself) have posted several pictures over the past few years of one of our favorite art installments in the DC area -- as well as the planet.  It's an interesting statue called "The Awakening" which, until today, resided at Hains Point, the park which divides the Potomac River from the Washington Channel.

It was at the base of Hains Point since 1980. It was one of those statues you could easily see from an airplane landing at National Airport right across the river.  We took pictures there. Climbed on it. Had picnics there.

We'll miss you, big submerged giant bearded man.  Good luck in your new home across the Anacostia...
