Since I was the only one in our group working today, I had to go to the bank.  Went to our usual branch but the fire alarm was going off and they would not let anyone in the building.  So I decided to walk to the other branch.  The other branch is located in the B&O building that was built in 1906.  It is now the Hotel Monaco.  The lobby is very ornate and has two stone staircases, lots of stained glass and other ornate details.  Took a whole bunch of pictures and it was hard to decide which ones to post.  I thought the table lamp was too bright so I tried to turn the light off – only to have the knob on the lamp fall off.  I quickly looked around but luckily no one saw me – so I put it back on the table right by the base.

What a nice surprise.  One of my friends in our office wanted to show me something outside our office window.  When I looked out the window I spotted this tall ship.  So of course I had to head over to the harbor after work. Took a lot of pictures and it was hard to decide on the best one.  

The Statsraad Lehmkuhl is a three-masted barque rigged sail training vessel owned and operated by the Statsraad Lehmkuhl Foundation. It is based in Bergen, Norway and contracted out for various purposes, including serving as a school ship for the Royal Norwegian Navy

Blue Sky at last but how long is it going to last.  Weather forecasters are calling for a possible Nor’easter on Wednesday.  Took this picture from the office conference room – there is a bit of a reflection.  It’s going to be hard to get a good picture during the week since I am going to work in the dark and it’s almost dark when I get home.
