CHRISTMAS in my NEIGHBORHOOD


Walking toward Baltimore's Washington Monument, with holiday lighting, 
the Walters Art Museum is on my left.


Looking up at the monument from the base.


Looking down at the monument from the 18th floor community room
 in the building where I live.  
The monument is in the center of Mount Vernon Square and 
is surrounded by four parks and historic buildings.

  7. When we lived in Northern Virginia we visited Baltimore often. Never at night though and not at holiday time. Beautiful photos. I could certainly be happy with the stunning view you have!

  16. To say you have an apartment with a view is quite an understatement. No wonder June likes looking out the window so much.
    Xena: No, Mommy, June is watching the birds. And other stuff flying in the sky.
