A day in Washington, DC

The National Mall is one of my favorite places to visit in spring.  Take a stroll to see Smithsonian institution office, Hirshhorn museum and sculpture garden, with Washington Monument and United States Capitol in the view.  Take a break at the Capitol Dome reflection pool and visit the garden behind the capitol dome then to China town for dinner….

A day in Baltimore (2) -Fells Point

The waterside of Fells Point is known for its hip pub and taverns.  Many of them provide music as well as seafood joints serving Chesapeake Bay crab and oysters.  Small galleries, record stores, fashion boutiques and eclectic restaurants line the cobblestone streets along the harbor and main square.

This waterfront community is a tourist destination.  Fells Point is one of several areas in and around Baltimore that are listed on the National Register of Historic Places (maintained by the National Park Service), the first designated from Maryland.

A day in Baltimore (1) _ Inner Harbor

Inner Harbor is undoubtably the most visited place in Baltimore.  It is also one of my favorite place to visit year around. With a collection of historic warships  docked in the harbor, many boutique stores and restaurants with a beautiful harbor view,  wide and comfortable walkways, historical buildings and museums, this place offers a photographer plenty of sites and senaries to shoot.  Note that USS Constellation (1854), USS TORSK Submarine and Lightship No. 116 "CHESPEAKE" are considered national landmarks).

Here are some photos taken on a sunny day in May.  Enjoy!

2019 Cherry Blossom Kite Festival in Washington DC

This is the first time when I came to see the cherry blossoms that I also get to enjoy the kite festival that occurred around the mall annually.  What a sense!! That was even better than go down there to watch the fire work at July 4th.  Because it is day light and you can walk around and enjoy the site and the good weather.
