The Pentagon, looking northeast with the Potomac River and Washington Monument in the distance.
The Tidal Basin is seen just below the Washington Monument. The marina which is visible is in Pentagon Lagoon, which is part of the Boundary Channel of the Potomac River. Trees border the Boundary Channel and exist both on the Virginia shoreline and on Columbia Island (an island in the Potomac River).

The United States Department of Defense (DoD, USDOD, or DOD) is an executive department of the U.S. federal government charged with coordinating and supervising the six U.S. armed services: the Army, Navy, Marines, Air Force, Space Force, the Coast Guard for some purposes, and related functions and agencies. As of November 2022, the department has over 1.4 million active-duty uniformed personnel in the six armed services. It also supervises over 778,000 National Guard and reservist personnel, and over 747,000 civilians, bringing the total to over 2.91 million employees. Headquartered at the Pentagon in Arlington County, Virginia, just outside Washington, D.C., the Department of Defense's stated mission is "to provide the military forces needed to deter war and ensure our nation's security". The current secretary of defense is Pete Hegseth. (From Wikipedia)
