Baltimore

[mrdreamjeans]

I just wrote a post about spending an afternoon with bearchitect in downtown Baltimore. It was a treat to see Charm City through his eyes. Here are a few snapshots from our visit and walking tour. Thanks to gotmoof for posting pictures for me from this wonderful afternoon!


Fernando bearchitect at the Inner Harbor in Baltimore.


Aztec Deco Gates to the Vault in the Bank of America Building.


"Brutalist" Mechanic Theater. "Evita" played here in 1999.

Stunning Shots of the architecture and the leaves turning color(I'm still a farmboy from Indiana). Fernando is very good looking too.

You don't have to convince me... Fernando's a class act:) Thanks for the compliments on the photos. I was surprised to see how much detail came out in the photo of the vault gates. You can clearly see the vault behind the gold deco gates.

Neil, I'm glad I was able to dispel some of the horror stories about Charm City, but most of all I soooo glad you were not mugged!
Walking around the east side, taking pictures while talking on your cellphone, you were asking for it! :>

[mrdreamjeans.livejournal.com]

Thanks, Tim, for posting the photos so quickly for me. I really appreciate it! Hugs!

[mrdreamjeans.livejournal.com]

No need to ungrowl:) Everyone thinks you look very handsome and sexy in the photo including the photgrapher:)

Thanks, Jon! i was pleased that the picture are so sharply in focus!

[bearchitect.livejournal.com]

hee hee!

bear #1: Do these chaps make my ass look fat?
husbear: "Oh, go GGGRRRR yourself!"

[mrdreamjeans.livejournal.com]

Hehehe ...I agree. Two things ... Fernando told me the technical name for the design style of The Mechanic is "brutalism"; that's right after I described it as plug ugly. However, I do think that capturing it with the afternoon sunlight dappling the concrete perhaps made it a little less ugly:)

[mrdreamjeans.livejournal.com]

Thanks, Bob! I so seldom get to see any Fall colors, so the trees on Federal Hill were a treat ...as was Fernando! :)HUGS!

[mrdreamjeans.livejournal.com]

So, you think Fernando belongs in a cathedral too? I'm sure there are people who think he's a saint! *grin*

[bearchitect.livejournal.com]

*blushes*
gee, thanks!

But don't let pagerbear read that, he gets very, very jealous!

[mrdreamjeans.livejournal.com]

Well, I didn't do that too often:) And trust me - I was very aware of my surroundings because of what happened to me in the past. I enjoyed your stories; but more importantly, I enjoyed your company! Hugs!

[mrdreamjeans.livejournal.com]

Thanks! A pager-compliment means a lot! :)

[bearchitect.livejournal.com]

Well, you definitely brought the sunny, warm weather. It hasn't been the same since you left...

[mikeybill.livejournal.com]

Why? Are people often on their knees in front of him? *grin*

[ciddyguy.livejournal.com]

Very lovely indeed Neil and I have to chime in with the rest. That Fernando is mighty yummy looking. Grrr! :-)

I also love the fall color shot. Such intense colors there.

The bank vault shot is also wonderful and I bet a site to behold while inside.

For the term plug ugly, I simply say, butt ugly. :-P

[mrdreamjeans.livejournal.com]

Hmmmm.... butt ugly doesn't work for me .... *grin* .....I'm an ass man:)

Thanks for the compliments on the photos ....

[ciddyguy.livejournal.com]

Well, as for the "real" thing, butts are wonderful, especially if of the bubble butt variety ;-)

But the word ass works for me too. :-)
