The Ducks hit Westminster Hall #41

I guess you know you're hitting all the tourist attractions when you fell as if you're being tailed by the Ducks.

Apparently there is a tradition of putting pennies on the grave markers of people you admire. Poe collects a lot of pennies. At some point ages ago, there was an initiative for school children to collect "Pennies for Poe" to help purchase a more elaborate monument to him. I like the original marker with the raven just a well. C and I each left a penny here.

Speaking of ravens, Baltimore's newest Ravens made their debut at the Baltimore Zoo today.

More "shadow study" in Westminster Cemetery.

Thought a lot about light and shadow while I was taking pics on Saturday. I've noticed I have problems capturing a complete picture. I'll notice foreground but the background will be sloppy or similar. Is that why this is so challenging?

Another good photo showing how the Church was built over the cemetery. Clearly, great pains were taken to not disturb existing graves.
