A MINI ROAD TRIP TO FREDERICK IN MARYLAND

On Wednesday we took a drive to Frederick, Maryland.  It took us about an-hour-and-a-half.  First of all we stopped in the visitor center.  A gentleman directed us to the multi-story car park.  From there it was only a short walk to the riverwalk.  Here are a few photos taken and I will share more in the next post I do on Frederick.



There were several people out walking their dogs. 




There were two bridges we saw to cross the canal.  There is a story about them, which I will share next time.



Isn't this a beautiful, whimsical clock?  It is decorated with zodiak signs and is created by artist Nikolai Pakhomov.  He is also the owner of a firm called Iron Masters.  There is one on either side of the bridge, which individually weighs about a ton.  According to the company's interpretation, "the theme of the design was reconnecting time, universe and humanity."


Looking one way....



and then in the opposite direction.


We saw a few ducks....



and crossed over another bridge.



On this one people had placed some love locks, like I saw in Paris a couple of years ago.  



The ones in Paris have since been removed. There were so many, the weight of them was damaging the bridges.



It hasn't gotten too bad.... 


yet.



I think these are apartments.  



One last shot of the ducks to end this post.
