Last month, I worked in Baltimore. Here's the view of the Inner Harbor from a conference room on the 10th floor:

Baltimore 4-13
Here are the Harbor Pavilion Shops, The USS Constellation, and Federal Hill Park. Nope, I did not have such a view from my office, which had no window, but was still very nice and quiet to work in.



As you can see, it was lovely to work so close to the Inner Harbor and be able to walk by the water at lunch most every day. It's not as pretty to me as the lake near my apartment, as I guess I'm not a city person anymore, but it was nice for a change of pace, and with the long commute, I was glad to have places to get long lunch time walks in.

This is the view northward from the 26th floor by the elevators. There was a different company up there, so I didn't bother them to ask to see more of the views.

Some days I walked around this side of the Inner Harbor past Federal Hill Park, and this is the view of the Baltimore skyline from there, with my building leftmost. I will post more pics that won't center around my work building in other posts.

What a wonderful view. I always enjoy seeing pictures of skyscrapers. With the view like you had in the first photo, I would have a hard time concentrating because I would constantly be distracted, wanting to know what's going on out there.

Lovely photos. I like the varied architecture. It's very easy on the eye. I also approve of you scaling the heights for a view, obv. Thank you for sharing! :-)

That *does* look like a nice place to walk, especially since it's a new type of place for you.

I've been down to the Inner Harbor many times before--even for a meet-up with some of the hobbit posse a year or two ago. (-: But I did get to explore some more of the area around it than I had before, and now have a better feel for Baltimore's downtown. It's a good city--it's just missing something in the downtown to make it a great city. But since I don't like cities as much as I used to, I may not be a good judge.

Those are lovely pics for sure. I don't get downtown often but whenever I've had jury duty about every 2 yrs or so, I walk to the harbor (1 mi away() at lunch. A couple of yrs ago I was on a jury and got to walk there everyday for lunch.

I kept thinking I should nudge you to come down and meet me for lunch while I was down there, but the time went so quick.

Lovely pictures. I'm glad you had such a nice place to stretch your legs during your lunch break.

I really wanted to keep my daily exercise going, and it really does help for renewing focus for the rest of the afternoon shift.

Cute icon! Yes, it was. There will be more pics of places you'll recognize. (-:

Sure helps to work in a lovely place to walk! My school is SO not in a good place to walk or I would more often at lunch! Lovely pics!

I'm sorry you don't have a good place to walk at lunch. It does help, especially when you're working too far from home to get a good walk in when you get back. Thank you!

Awesome pics. I'll have to visit there some time. It reminds me a bit of courthouse in Boston, which is on the harbor (which I always want to spell harbour) too.
