Plungefest 2014 was an event held on March 8, 2014 at Sandy Point State Park near Annapolis, Maryland, sponsored by the Maryland Special Olympics and the Maryland State Police.
This event had originally been scheduled to occur on January 25, however, high winds at the event site that morning made it unsafe to hold the event due to high waves on the Chesapeake Bay and the collapse of several tents. The event was cancelled, and was later rescheduled for March 8, which had temperatures above freezing, minor cloud cover, and only a slight breeze.

Abandoned bridge piers in the Potomac River at Harpers Ferry, viewed from the current Winchester and Potomac Railroad Bridge. The piers shown here are part of an earlier bridge that was built and destroyed several times during the American Civil War before being abandoned before the war's end.
The unusual lighting comes from a set of floodlights, which were aimed at the bridge to aid CSX work crews conducting track maintenance in the area.

A day of photography, mostly around Brighton Dam at the border between Montgomery and Howard Counties in Maryland, using a borrowed Nikon Coolpix P510 digital camera. This shoot was intended to test out the camera, in order to see whether this sort of camera was a good fit for me for a future equipment upgrade.

My visit to the National Cherry Blossom Festival, on April 13, 2014. Due to the frustration caused by tons of tourists at every turn, I ended up moving quickly through the cherry blossoms, and focused more on other things in less crowded areas.

Giant Food #2304, built in a former Super Fresh location, is being used by Giant (Maryland) to test new store design and marketing concepts. As such, this store has a very different interior design and layout from most Giant-Landover stores, including a bare concrete floor, an open ceiling and different signage. This tends to make the store more closely resemble a Giant-Carlisle or Martin's store than a Giant-Landover store.
