Crisp Baltimore

Baltimore is a city of contrasts. This set of images reflects this fact.

Somewhere in downtown.


The Baltimore Correctional Institutions.


Same as Venice, Baltimore has its own Ponte dei Sospiri... a bridge where the delinquents have a last chance to see the daylight. However, Baltimore's version has no real windows.


A nondescript parking lot.


The Inner Harbor area. This place had been completely desolate thirty years ago, a crime-infested slum dump. Then the remaining inhabitants got relocated, the area razed to the ground, and new development was started. Nowadays, it is a nice tourist spot, although not really enticing to visit regularly.
