This photograph, taken in April 1938, showcases an observation station and river gauge installed by the U. S. Weather Bureau on the serene Potomac River in Washington D. C. The image transports us to a time when technology was simpler yet equally effective. In this early depiction of weather monitoring, a man stands proudly beside the observation station, showcasing his dedication to understanding and predicting atmospheric conditions. The exterior of the station exudes a sense of reliability with its sturdy construction and functional design. The river gauge, situated nearby, serves as a crucial tool for measuring water levels in the Potomac River. Its presence reminds us of how vital it is to monitor natural phenomena such as rivers for both safety and scientific purposes. A rowboat gently floats on the calm waters behind them, emphasizing the tranquility that can be found amidst even our most rigorous scientific endeavors.
