New Contest
Since the last contest was so easy, I’m starting another one with a completely arbitrary answer that will be determined by me. Please welcome today’s corresponding photographer, Royela. Who offers us these dragon boats sitting out the winter in the beautiful Inner Harbor.
Today’s contest is to name the dragons.
Go to it.

What’s a bad thing to do when driving over a bridge? Take a picture? I disagree. What if its a really high two lane bridge and you are 1 mile out from land? I say its still not a problem.
Special thanks to corresponding photographer Shelly for today’s photo. (Though let it be known that I […]

There’s so much to say about Fort Washington, that its time to write again about it. The park surrounding the Fort is open to the public and I’d certainly recommend going to check it out. Here’s a great shot that shows just a taste of the view that this fort commands along the Potomac. If […]

In case you are wondering why there was no President’s Day issue of MDDP, its becasue even though some people don’t feel like you should take off in honor of the Presidents of the United States, MDDP does feel like you should. What I did on President’s day (during my lunch hour) was visit this […]

Well congratulations to everyone who figured out that this is the sculpture by the Southwest wing of BWI. To be as accurate as possible, it’s actually the sculpture right outside the ramp from the parking garage to terminal B. That ramp is also where this picture was taken.
Some more fun things about the airport.
It […]

Jericho Covered Bridge

Here we see the Jericho Covered Bridge in Harford County, just outside Gunpowder Falls State Park HQ near Rt. 1. (Some people say it crosses into Baltimore County, but my map firmly drops in Harford. You can discuss.) The bridge skillfully crosses the little gunpowder falls. It was built just a bit after 1860 and […]

This photo is brought to us by our corresponding photographer, Bryan. Please welcome him to the community.
What you see here is not part of Bryan’s correspondence from the jungle, but rather from south eastern Baltimore County. The history of this site links back quite a ways.
While the British navy was bombarding Fort McHenry, their army […]

There are so many things to say about Fort McHenry that it will have to be covered in more than one photo post. In the mean time I think that this picture says a lot. I love this photo becasue it combines so many facets of the fort’s history into one scene. The cannons in […]
