Several people easily recognized the last mystery photo, many with stories. First in was Susan McBurney of Sugar Hill: “This is The Awakening in National Harbor, Md.” She was right. The photo came from Chuck Warbington of Auburn.
Karen Burnette Garner of Dacula says of the photo: “When I worked in DC years ago, it was in the park at Hains Point along the Potomac, so I was surprised to see it had been moved to National Harbor when I was there two weeks ago.”
Ruthy Lachman Paul of Norcross writes of the photo: “The Awakening was created by Seward Johnson in 1980 as part of Sculpture Conference, and the sculpture was originally installed at Hains Point in East Potomac, Washington, D.C. The Sculpture Foundation of Milton Peterson purchased the sculpture for $750,000 in 2007 and installed it at his National Harbor in Maryland.”
Catherine Coleman of Washington writes: “It’s a statue called “The Awakening” and now resides at national harbor, just outside of DC, across the Potomac on the Maryland side at National Harbor. It used the be at the tip of West Potomac park just south of the Lincoln and FDR memorials until about five years ago, when it was moved.”
Brenda Kukla of Suwanee recognized it, saying: “I take road trips every summer, finding unusual sites. This one is called The Awakening and is in Oxion Hill, Md. at The National Harbor. I believe it was at one time located in Washington, D.C.”
Ann Sechrist of Snellville writes: “My son saw this on his 5th grade focus trip. We had to return as a family to see it.” Also recognizing it was Bob Foreman of Grayson.
