This is the Morgantown Generating Station, located on the banks of the Potomac River in Newburg, Maryland. It is a coal-fired power station that supplies large amounts of electrical power to the Washington DC metropolitan area. It is capable of powering 1.2 million homes.
These pictures were taken from the Harry W. Nice Memorial Bridge which is part of U.S. Route 301. The bridge is located at a dramatic bend in the river and marks the line between the Lower and Upper Potomac River Estuary. It's the only Potomac crossing below Washington DC and was opened in 1940.

The ferry was part of the shortest route between the capitals of Maryland and Virginia and served as a principal link in the journeys of many early Americans including George Washington, George Mason, and other founding fathers. Nearby is also the site of one of the river crossings by John Wilkes Booth after his assassination of Abraham Lincoln.
