Field trip to Annapolis Harbor and Historic District
Sunday, March 16th
On Sunday, March 16th we will visit Annapolis Harbor and the Historic District. Annapolis is a great seaport town on the Chesapeake Bay that offers many wonderful photographic opportunities. The harbor area offers ships, sails, and scenic harbor image opportunities, while the town contains many historic and architecturally significant buildings such as the Maryland State House and St. Anne’s Church. There are countless opportunities for images highlighting the streets lined with homes, taverns and shops that date back the 18thcentury. And nearby, the U.S. Naval Academy continues a more than 160-year tradition of educating and commissioning Navy and Marine Corps officers.
Directions
We’ll meet at the Starbucks located at 124 Dock Street, Annapolis, MD
I’d recommend using a GPS as the downtown area has lots of turns.
On a nice Sunday morning, the drive will take approximately one hour.
Carpooling is recommended. The main carpooling location will be the Dunn Loring Fire Station.
Meeting Time
Sunrise that day is 7:16am. If you want to capture the morning light, I’ll meet you at the Starbucks at 6:45am (they open at 6:00am). Otherwise, we plan to meet at the Starbucks at 8:30am
Parking
Parking is available along City Dock in front of Starbucks with coin-operated parking meters. More parking is available in a lot a block further on Dock Street using Pay to Park machines that issue tickets that you place inside your vehicle. Those meters accept credit cards as well as cash.
