The Point, Harpers Ferry

This is a scenic image of the meeting point of the Potomac and Shenandoah. A massive river runs through mountain ranges on either side of it. The mountains are lush and green and stretch off into the distance. A metal bar crosses the front of the river to protect people from falling in.
