Baltimmore. The Shot Tower was a lead shot manufacturing facility in operation from 1828 to 1892. Molten lead was dropped from a platform at the top of the tower through a sieve-like device and into a vat of cold water. When hardened, dried and polished, the shot was sorted into 25-pound bags, producing a total of 1,000,000 bags of shot a year--a number that could be doubled if necessary.
Known originally as the Phoenix Shot, then the Merchants' Shot Tower and now the old Baltimore Shot Tower, the red brick tower was erected in 1828. Charles Carroll of Carrollton, a signer of the Declaration of Independence, laid its cornerstone. Over 234 feet high, the Shot Tower was the tallest structure in the United States until the Washington Monument in Washington, DC was completed after the Civil War. This type of building was rare even during the 19th century and today only eleven shot towers remain in existence. Of these four, the Shot Tower is the most outstanding example.
The perspective of various 4 and 5 year olds cracks me up! One of my boys lost his sneaker this last week, and it became a topic of conversation at preschool. This board was posted outside their classroom when I picked up my kids on Thursday.
(This is the first week I couldn't decide which picture to use - so this is #2!)

Yes, I know that I've probably titled 20+ photos "Perspective", but this one shows the relative size of the Furtwangler Glacier.
The students and teachers of Perspectives Middle Academy (located in Auburn Gresham) are making tremendous academic and social emotional learning growth. Just this past year SY 2013-2014, they made almost two (2) grade levels of growth in both math and reading.

Under the prow. As you can see, the perspective is still one of looking up. You have a choice of how to progress through the museum (up or down), and the top floor is a little above the level of the deck. So obviously there's still all the rigging and masts above you. I liked the design of the building because it focused all your attention on the ship -- there was no funny business like there was with the Museum of Modern Art in Frankfurt, what with dead-end hallways and strangely designed rooms with multiple entrances.
