Camden Yards: Condiment Race

This week the attention on big ballpark races (let Teddy Win) will be at Nationals Parks in DC, however up I-95 in Baltimore there is another race that gets a lot of attention during Orioles game... It's the digital Condiment Race..  I taped last night's race.

Hyattsville Arts Festival

A nice afternoon for Arts Festival.. This one was in Hyattsville, which is trying to building a "arts district" and has added a lot of nice new places to eat on Route 1 (Baltimore Avenue) in the past year or two.

We Remember, 11 Years Later...

Photos taken last year, a day before the 10th Anniversary of the 9/11 Attacks

Camden Yards after the Storm...

The storms weren't as severe up in Baltimore, as they were down here in the DMV.   This was shot in the second inning of the Yanks-O's game..  The Yanks lost, and now are tied with the O's (again) for first place in the AL East.   It's going to be in interesting couple of weeks for Yanks and O's fans!

A few more photos from my Portland OR Trip

Photos from Multnomah Falls (the second tallest waterfall in US) and the Columbia River Gorge.

Mount Hood & Lost Lake, Oregon

I'm back in the DMV, after five amazing days in Oregon.  These photos are my favorite.   The first three are from Lost Lake.. a place where cell phones don't work but who needs it when you have a lake with this amazing view of Mount Hood.  The other four photos are from about 6,000 feet up near Ski Lodge.   Tomorrow night I will post some more photos from Portland, and then it will back to taking pictures closer to DMV.  Can't wait for my next trip (where ever that is). 

Portland OR Rose Garden

Greetings from Portland Oregon

Spending five days in Portland Oregon, and of course taking lots of photographs (almost 200 so far) and I'm here thru Labor Day!  Today's photos are from downtown Portland.  Future blog posts will be from Chinese and Rose Test Garden, Columbia River Gorge, Mount Hood (some really cool photos from there) and the second largest water fall in USA!
