Clouds at Twilight 3, 2018, Dragon_DSC9709-copy-1-A-1
This was taken at the end of a pier at the bottom of Fells Point, well within a stone's throw of the building that housed the precinct offices in the old TV show Homicide: Life on the Streets (1993-1999). In another direction, across the harbor, lies the home offices of UnderArmour, and a major site of Domino Sugar, and just a little beyond those is the Fort McHenry National Monument and Historical Shrine.
However, for this image the camera is pointed in a third direction, toward the sky above Baltimore's Inner Harbor and the USS Constellation. Like the earlier images in this series, this one profits from Baltimore's considerable air pollution, as well as a fortuitous cloud formation as the sun was about to set for the evening, around 7:08 pm, with so-called "civil twilight" running from 6:48 to 7:15.
I can't explain this obsession with location and time, but I can share in your hope that it won't come again soon. The interesting part for me is the swirling cloud formations, looking to me like some sort of dragon, perhaps preparing to scuttle the Constitution.
This could be the third of many, as I'm enrolled in a course in Johns Hopkins Odyssey program, aimed at old folks like me, although there's some younger folks in this group. The course is focused on photography in the twilight hour.
