Fort Armistead #110



Sadly, we also saw a similar scene at Fort Howard. These are the forts that helped protect the Chesapeake Bay. They do have a degree of historical significance and yet they are in a state of disgrace. It seems shameful. . especially for Fort Armistead - which boasts amazing views of the Key Bridge as well as being the namesake of a very distinguished Maryland military figure. I would be more than happy to pay a small admittance fee or become a member if that would help alleviate some of the obvious issues that seem to plague this park.

I like how these ring billed gulls seem to be plotting. . .

Yesterday C and I ventured to Fort Armistead Park. We had a tip some red throated loons were spotted in the area recently. No loons. . .Nothing really but some gulls. The fort is a graffiti covered mess but the views of the Key Bridge and Sparrows Point across the river are pretty fantastic.
