The backside of the announcer's tower at abandoned "75 & 80 Dragway" ... (a family-run community drag racing track that eventually closed down when the owners got too old and/or disinterested to operate it anymore.)

The tidal portion of the Patuxent River, which drains the central portion of Maryland (and which provided access to the British military enroute to burning Washington DC during the War of 1812). This little pier was destroyed by Hurricane Isaias, August 2020.

Crisfield -- historically renowned as Maryland's "Seafood Capital" ... Once the home port to nearly 500 "watermen" (crabbers, oysterers, fishermen), only about 100 remain working out of Crisfield now.

McCutcheons Apple Products, Frederick Maryland. Local apples, fresh-pressed cider, jellies & jams ... (Before some new Federal regulations, McCutcheons used to sell unpasturized, unfiltered cider: "bring-your-own-jug" for refills ... every batch was a little different, depending the apples being crushed ... wonderful, tangy, and cloudy; but one sometimes wondered what else might have accidently been pressed in there besides apples.)

Black Vulture Drying Out After Thunderstorm

nobody@ipernity.com (L. L. Wall) — Thu, 04 Oct 2018 04:12:14 +0000

L. L. Wall has posted:

Only recently have Black Vultures become prominent in the Piedmont Region of Maryland. Previously only Turkey Vultures were seen. Both species are carrion eaters. With their large, black feathered bodies and naked red heads and necks, Turkey Vultures are singularly unattractive; but a docile species. Black Vultures are smaller and more aggressive, reportedly even chasing live lambs. (Perhaps this aggressiveness is enabling Black Vultures to push Turkey Vultures out of the local ecological niche.)
