stormdogI just edited and posted 46 pictures from my first day in Baltimore. Included in the set are such fun things as:
*A large fiberglass version of "His Master's Voice" (the old RCA logo with Nipper the dog and his phonograph) that once stood on the RCA building. I've had a soft spot in my heart for Nipper for years, so it was neat to see him!
*The 1930 Patterson Theatre.
*Some old Navy ships on the east side of the inner harbor that seem to have been there for a long time. The light makes really pretty stripes and waves on their hulls where it bounces up from the water.
*Several pictures of commercial shipping going on.
*A Mississippi-style riverboat called "The Black-Eyed Susan."
*Cobblestone Streets in Fell's Point with old streetcar rails left in them for, I assume, reasons of aesthetics and feelings of authenticity. They are in Fell's Point, a highly gentrified area that was once a rough sailors' hangout.
*Some shots of a sailing ship called "The Lady Baltimore," including a closeup of her golden eagle figurehead.
*A view of the city from the top of Federal Hill, a high point of land on the south side of the harbor.
Hopefully I can keep up my pace and post more Baltimore soon, as well as start on Chiapas! Anyway, I hope you enjoy them. Please let me know if you think they're neat!

More behind the cut.
A picture of one of the Navy ships I mentioned, the Gordon, with reflected light playing on its hull.
And here's good ol' Nipper.
A view of the Inner Harbor, with a Domino Sugar factory in the background.
I could see living in these waterfront condos along the Inner Harbor. I don't know how well I'd get along with my neighbors though. (That's my bike there, by the way. I just loved being able to get around the city by bike through the course of the week!)
