My second full week in Baltimore was probably defined by exploring and finding my feet in the city. We took a walk to see City Hall, which amazingly I hadn't managed to find by myself. On the way we came across this unusual door:
And had a pretty good view of the Shot Tower:
Reminds me of Cardiff City Hall for some reason, maybe the dome?
War Memorial:
Funky horse:
Another day I took myself back up to Mount Vernon for some more exploring. Love this view of the Washington Monument through the trees:
And treeless:
Also in this week N took me up to Johns Hopkins Hospital to see where he works. Not many pictures because it was raining, but this is the view of downtown from the top:
Come back next time to read about ice cream and pirates!
I think those doors might have been modeled after the baptistry doors in Florence. Not sure I've seen those ones in Baltimore before! Mel Edden xxx
ReplyDeleteooo that's interesting Mel! I can't actually remember where we saw it now, but it was somewhere between our apartment and City Hall!
