Baltimore 365: The summer of 2012

Nick Tann 0 Comment Maryland, The Baltimore Sun

The brainchild of The Sun’s Entertainment Content Editor Amanda Krotki, Baltimore 365* sprang forth in 2012 as a visual chronicle of a year in the life of our city. With our keen collective eye on local news, we began posting visually stimulating photos that best exemplified that day in Baltimore.

Here are 12 photos selected to represent Baltimore 365 during the months of July, August and September. Topics include the Caribbean Parade, the Chincoteague Pony Swim, Otakon cosplay, Fluid Movement ballet, Maryland State Fair, Oriole Hall of Famers and more.
