Baltimore
Baltimore, MD is a pretty cool city after all. I was only out there for a very short time, but managed to snag a few photos in the process.
According to Google Earth, this church is St. Casimiris. I spotted it while walking along the harbor area downtown near Boston Street. I was intrigued by the symmetrical bell towers. Baltimore seems to have an old culture with lots of churches defining different stages of architecture and living. I’m looking forward to finding more gems in future trips.
I’m sure this is probably an advertisement of sorts but something about this lighthouse caught my eye. There was always somewhere to walk along areas of the harbor and tons of people jogging on through. I remember nearly colliding with one after I stopped to take this picture, unaware she was coming up on me.
Tide Point. We never ventured over, but Domino Sugars has the sign obscured by smoke stacks. I think I’d like to get back and give this another go, as I was really caught by the buildings style and industrial nature.
The sun sets on a nice looking boat in Baltimore. I’ve never been one to be drawn to sailing, but I think it could be a fun experience. I’ve heard that it is a lot of work, but worth it.
My friend pointed out that these are “Sea Rats” but I was enjoying watching them dance around each other trying to get the best scraps from some kids that were tossing them a few bits of bread.
One of the great things about Baltimore was the eats. We spent a lot of time in the Fells Point and Little Italy areas and caught a few good bars and restaurants. I highly recommend the Brewers Art, which is along Charles street (1100 block if memory serves) and has an upper, classier dining area with a great bar below. The best part is that they have a smattering of strong microbrews, mm.
Hopefully I get chances to go back and expand a bit on the photography and the experience. Let me just summarize to say this trip was all about the realization that you “can’t eat your way out of Baltimore.”
But watch out for the Maryland Police! :0
Winter in Minnesota
The very first snow of the year is always an interesting moment. A sort of realization that this state does in fact get cold, cover itself in snow, and prevent the sun from being shown for a few months. For all of it’s natural beauty and awesomeness, Minnesota does have this one special drawback usually known as winter.
I managed to catch a quick snap of the wet and heavy snow that was covering my backyard. I was enjoying the snow-covered evergreens blowing back and forth and providing the winter landscape that I’ll have to appreciate for the next few months.
