Federal Hill (Part 1)

Later on Friday the 29th (after we taxied past the Domino Sugars sign), Laura and I wound up on Federal Hill, where I sketched this little confection:

Baltimore. Pigment liner pen and watercolor pencil in Moleskine notebook, 3.5 x 5.5.The view is down Montgomery Street, with M & T Bank Stadium (aka Ravens Stadium) on the left, in southwest Baltimore. You can sort of see one raindrop in the ink of the last townhouse and adjacent tree on the left side of the street. I was standing and sketching in the rain while Laura walked around taking pictures ...

Federal Hill is the site of a fort constructed to keep an eye, and a lot of cannon, trained on the pro-Southern populace of Baltimore in the Civil War. More about this when we get to the Westminster, Md., sunset of May 30th.
