Before the Latest Flood


About 16 years ago I visited a friend I had worked with in St. Louis at her home in Ellicott City Maryland.  While I was there I took this picture of the very quaint city center and I noticed how the city sat in beautiful rolling hills.  A few weeks ago I heard a news story that Ellicott City had been hit with a devastating flood.  It's hard for me to think of such a beautiful and historic place being ravaged by flood waters.  When I saw this photo in my files, it reminded me of what a pretty place this was all those years ago.

Very pretty and quaint ... it looks like a lovely place to live. I certainly hope that the damage was not too bad.

It is a pretty area! My sister lived in Bel Air MD for over 30 years, so I visited often. Last year she picked up and moved to Texas, so I don't know when I'll get back to Maryland now!

Those who choose to live near water must sometimes have to contend with the water.

Hello Sharon! I came over to see your picture of Ellicott City & this is a very pretty view down that steep hill!
We drove this way but it was too dark for a decent shot :(
Sorry to hear that a flood has hit this quaint city.
