I went there in 1981. I have a few pics of Vrindavan taken in 1981. It must have chaged now. I always think of stopping there, but somehow, it doesn't happen. Thanks for sharing the lovely pics.

Oh yes, lot has changed in last 4-5 years. If you have not been there, you should. It's only 30 mins off i70. Not too far from wheeling.

To tell you truth, I have no idea. I did not find any info there. This sculpture depicted man buried, rather half buried and crying for help

Marcilo,

Thanks for sharing some beautiful travel pictures. Some of these scenes appear familiar. Please keep posting more pictures.
I found a short description of the Awakening sculpture:

Just about a mile from the National Mall along the beautiful Potomac Haines Point - Washington DC - The Awakening - Reaching Arm.
The highlight is at the end of the park, on a peninsula called Hains Point. There you will find a most interesting sculpture called The Awakening. It is giant 5-part cast aluminum statue that looks like a 100 foot tall bearded man. Head mostly buried and appears to be struggling to free himself, with only his face contorted in a scream, a single hand, arm, one bent knee and a foot exposed above ground. I believe the face looks Neptune-ish.
Haines Point - Washington DC - The Awakening - HandCreated by American sculptor J. Seward Johnson, Jr., and installed in the park in 1980 for the International Sculpture Conference Exhibition; it has arguably become one of the most popular non-monument sculptures in DC.

Here is one more description from the net

The Awakening is a 100-foot-long aluminum sculpture in five separate parts depicting an anguished bearded giant either being swallowed by the earth, emerging from it, or being trapped in it (that’s how you know it’s art…because it’s vague), all in such a way that it implies that the rest of the statue is underground. You can’t see his knee or foot in these pictures, mostly because I don’t have those kind of fetishes. You can find much more descriptive pictures of it elsewhere on the Internet.

Washington DC airport sits right across the water body. I was planning to snap a picture of plane taking off in between his hands but could not find right spot. Just so to have a different perspective to sculpture, agony of something slipping through the fingers

here is the Map view
