Today’s contest is to name the dragons.  
 
Go to it.

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.

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 […]
