world's worst goth

#Baltimore! You can tour inside the Bromo Seltzer arts tower every Saturday! The view from the 15th floor glass museum is pretty fun on an #Orioles home game day.

$8, take the working elevator up, then the ship ladder to the clock room and terrify yourself watching the elevator electronics click and clack, then walk all the way back down to view art along the stairwell past studio spaces. Not this 1911 elevator. The other one.

View inside what has at some points been the world's largest gravity clock. Two faces are visible, as are their shared gears, the motion mechanism updated in 2017, stairs to the roof, and random detritus.
View out a chicken wire reinforced window, 15th floor of a tower looking over Camden Yards. Many people can be seen entering the stadium complex.

FEATHRUARY 2025

Prompt 16: Backyard
-> Baltimore Oriole

The 4th and final week of #feathruary has started! And the first prompt I tackled was "backyard".

Granted, I will never see one of these beauties in my backyard, but since I have already drawn every German backyard birb at least once, I looked on and eventually landed (ha!) on this one.

Baltimore orioles are quite common in North America, where they live in the Nearctic during summer and migrate to winter in the Neotropics.

Because of their beautiful colour and song, people grew very fond of them and arranged special oriole feeders in their backyards; orioles discovered those and lead their young ones there, resulting in them becoming popular backyard birbs.

They mainly feed on fruit and nectar, but unlike other fruit-eating birbs, they prefer very ripe fruit, picking only the darkest and juciest berries for example. They also like to mlem on halved oranges and have been observed to be fond of grape jelly. So, if you live near them and want to attract them, you know what to do. :D

FUN FACT
The Baltimore oriole gets its name from 17th century Lord Baltimore. Their colours match those of Lord Baltimore's coat-of-arms, hence the name. Today, it is the state birb of Maryland and namesake and mascot for the Maryland Baltimores, a baseball team.
