Though, I now have many new things to post as I’ve been busy taking photos for a while. I’m tempted to keep posting a picture from Camden Yards as long as the O’s keep this winning streak alive. Today’s shot comes from yesterday’s opening day, courtesy of Bryan.
At the end of Sunday’s game I heard an announcer say that this was the first time the O’s started a season 3-0 since 1997 and it was the first time they had done it on the road since the 70′s.
Just two more days until Camden Yards opens for the year. Thanks to Bryan for allowing me to photograph his opening day tickets.
As spring training is well under way, it will soon be time for another group of pictures from the ballpark.
I apologize for the lack of a post yesterday which was caused by unexpected travel.
Here we have Seven Foot Knoll lighthouse. It was built in 1855 and stationed in the Chesapeake, not too far from it’s current home. The lighthouse is a “screw pile” lighthouse, which means that the supports were literally built to turn into the bottom of the bay like screws would fasten to wood. Like most of the others of it’s kind, Seven Foot Knoll was autmated in the middle of the last century. In the 80′s it was moved to it’s current location in downtown Baltimore.
As the Ravens head to their playoff game this weekend, we have a shot from the halftime show earlier this year that celebrated the anniversary of the Raven’s superbowl win.
The holidays are here and people are thinking of travel. A discussion with co-workers made me wonder how the average person traveling to Maryland would fare in today’s traffic vs. that of the past. So, naturally, I wondered how a person travelling to Maryland today would fare vs. someone riding the rails in 1890.
It turns out that not much has changed. In the late 1800′s the B&O’s Royal Blue service could have brought my coworker’s college aged child and my other coworker’s elderly parent from New York to Baltimore in 4 hours. On the way they’d enjoy the lovely accommodations pictured above.
By the 1900′s the Royal Blue’s time would be reduced even further. Today the bus that the child is taking and the car that the parent is taking will be lucky to match that time.
