An Eye On The Battery

Description
This view of one of the batteries of Battery Mount Vernon, located at Fort Hunt Park, Virginia, stood out for its resemblance to an eye when viewed from above. I stood atop the wall at the bottom of the photo, which faces the Potomac River. Below is the battery, a circular concrete platform used to support a large gun. Battery Mount Vernon, completed in early 1898, was home to 3 heavy guns designed to protect Washington, D.C. from naval attack. One of the guns, which could be raised to reach over the wall and lowered below the wall to protect the gun, was located atop the battery that is the iris of the eye. In 1933 Fort Hunt became part of the George Washington Memorial Parkway, a national park. Now we can visit these ruins, an eye to the past, pondering how different this area is today from what it once was.

An interesting perspective in what looks like an abstract.
Todd Henson replied:
Thanks, Joe. I don't often create abstracts, but I had a lot of fun working on this one.
