I took these pictures during a run through downtown Richmond and near Canal Walk. I originally set out to find the Triple Crossing, billed as the only place in the world where three Class I railroads intersect in the same spot. After finding it, I made my way toward Richmond Riverfront Plaza, where two identical […]
These are photos from a trip to Washington, D.C., and Historic Jamestowne. This trip to Washington included stops at the Jefferson Memorial, the Newseum, and the Basilica of the National Shrine of the Immaculate Conception. These were places I had not seen in previous visits to the capital. The below map includes the several stops […]
These pictures are from a tour through the Virginia State Capitol and a few points of interest in Downtown Richmond. In the slideshow, you’ll see photos of the inside of the chamber where the House of Delegates meets. There’s also a photo of the inside of the old City Hall building. I also visited St. […]
I took these pictures during a trail run that began along Canal Walk. I found a pathway leading to the Pipeline Rapids Walkway near the Pipeline Overlook — the path led to a ladder, leading to the actual walkway. It’s a little hidden, but once you find it, it’s a very neat discovery. The walkway […]
During this trip, I ventured to the top of Richmond’s City Hall, which stands out as one of downtown’s tallest buildings. The observation deck is at the very top of the building, on its 19th floor. From there, you can get a full 360 degree view of the city — as you’ll see in the […]
These are pictures from a day’s trip around the city. It began at Metro Richmond Zoo, located in Chesterfield County — that’s south of Richmond. Apart from the several interesting animals there (some of which you’ll see in the gallery) the zoo had a lot of picturesque areas that were very neat, too. You’ll see […]
Richmond is no stranger to history — you’ll find historical markers on many city streets of major events that have shaped the Commonwealth and the country. For a few weeks in May, though, there was another kind of history in town — the history of the exploration era. It sailed-in taking the form of modern […]
The James River Park System includes land surrounding the James up and down Richmond, and one of the neat things about it (there are many) is the elaborate trail system along the river. You can really get lost in the wilderness while you’re on those trails, which is incredible when you consider that you’re in […]
This was a trip that began in Shockoe Slip near downtown Richmond, crossed into Manchester and toward the Richmond Floodwall, and ended by crossing the Manchester Bridge back into downtown Richmond. I took these while on a run on a very nice Sunday in February — there were clear skies and temps in the 50s!
These are some pictures from a trip to The Landing at Fountain Lake, a part of Byrd Park. They were taken in about February 2015, when much of the cold of the winter had passed. Just a few weeks before, I had visited Fountain Lake and the water was almost completely frozen over. Quite a […]
