The hidden Anacostia River

I had always heard that there was a view of the Anacostia River from the Arboretum, but we had never been able to find it, that is, until we went to a more remote area of the park last summer. After wading through a lot of brush, we finally saw it in the distance, or at least a sliver of it.

Best to view in "Original" because other versions resized by PBase are decidedly
unsharp.

Great effort to get there. It seems a rather large river at that.
