"The Awakening" used to be located at Hains Point, in Washington D.C., but was sold in 2007 and moved in 2008 to National Harbor in Prince George's County in MD.
it's a statue of a sleeping giant that has awakened and is rising up out of the earth.
Are you surprised they sold it and moved it out of D.C. -- when George W. Bush was president? I'm not.
I can’t find a good aerial shot! Help! 😆
Scroll through this, fren. There's at least one aerial shot here:

To give you an idea of scale, an averaged-size person can sit in the giant's mouth.
Cool! Thanks!
There are also pictures of Al Gore watching a Melissa Etheridge concert, as well as pictures of bags of trash! Awesome! 😃
How were you able to tell the difference? Kek.
I am NOT zooming in....😆
