VANISHING POINT: CITY DAILY PHOTO, Baltimore, MD

Today, we are taking part in a new blog, CITY DAILY PHOTO, 
and also one we have enjoyed for some time now, IMAGE-IN-ING.

  
Direct links to both of these can be found under the image below and on our sidebar.  
They afford bloggers, we pet bloggers, an opportunity ~ to spread our paws, so to speak ~ 
and show a little different side of our photography, choosing photos from our home towns, our other lives.  
You may want to visit these blog hops, take part from time to time, share a new adventure.

Driving on our way to somewhere, a friend paused long enough for me to snap a picture of The Emerson Tower, now best known as the Bromo Seltzer Arts Tower, in downtown Baltimore, on the West side.  We're featuring it here, for our first time to take part in the City Daily Photo blog hop, the September photo theme being "vanishing point".

Built between 1907-1911, until 1923 the tower held claim to being the tallest building in Baltimore, vanishing up toward the cloud filled sky, and even today stands tall in our city.  The Seth Thomas clock at its top has four faces looking East, West, North and South.

The tower was abandoned in 2002 until early 2007 when philanthropists began fundraising and worked to transform it into the Arts Tower it is today.  In 1973, the tower was added to the National Register of Historic Places.
