Shot Tower / Baltimore, Maryland
In days of old, shot for rifles was made in the "Shot Tower." Molten lead was dropped from the top of the tower into a vat of water at the bottom. The lead droplets, like raindrops, would form into perfect spheres, cool and solidify as they fell into the cooling water vat below.
The shot tower seems to "stand sentry" near the entrance to Little Italy and directly in front of the Post Office building. In the distance can be seen Memorial Stadium, former "home" of the Baltimore Orioles and the Baltimore Colts & Ravens
