Small, cast-iron John Brown's Fort sits atop Harpers Ferry overlooking the Potomac and Shenandoah confluence — a compact subject rich in historical context and dramatic vistas. Photograph close architectural details (riveted plates, weathering) and wider scenes that include the river, railroad bridge, and steep town streets. Best light is golden hour from the east bank at sunrise or late afternoon for warm side-light; weekday mornings have fewer tourists. Located inside Harpers Ferry National H.
