Snapshots of RVA: Grand Illumination Night and Jefferson Park
I took these photos on the night of the Grand Illumination in Richmond: this is the ceremony in which the Christmas Tree in downtown’s James Center is lit up. In addition, decorative lights placed on several downtown buildings are lit. All the lights remain up for the duration of the Christmas season. I took several […]
Snapshots of RVA: Tredegar, Richmond at Night
I took these pictures on a rainy day while visiting several points of interest in Richmond. First, I visited Tredegar, which was a major arms factory during the Civil War. It is now a Civil War museum. I also visited the Virginia War Memorial, which honors the lives of Virginians killed in action. Finally, I […]
Snapshots of RVA: Forest Hill Park
I began this trip at Dogwood Dell and headed south along the Boulevard Bridge. I ran along Riverside Drive until I reached where it meets Forest Hill Park. I circled the park a few times before returning back. This was still early in the fall season so most of the trees still looked green, but […]
Special ‘Snapshots’ Post: UCI Road World Champsionships
In September 2015, The Union Cycliste Internationale had its championship race in Richmond. The week-long event included several races leading up to the men’s and women’s championship races that weekend. I was able to catch the racers along the course in several spots. Those included the starting line on Broad Street in Downtown, at the […]
Snapshots of RVA: Dogwood Dell and Pumphouse Park

After walking along it for a while, I discovered Pumphouse Park, which is another separate park. That’s where the Pumphouse is, and the building was […]
Snapshots of RVA: Belle Isle East
Having walked the western part of the south Belle Isle before, I decided to head east this time. I began at the pedestrian footbridge and found a trail on the eastern part of the island that I didn’t realize existed and from there, I saw some cool views of the downtown skyline, framed by trees and […]
Snapshots of RVA: Monroe Building and Triple Cross
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 […]
Snapshots of RVA: Virginia State Capitol
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. […]
Snapshots of RVA: Floodwall Park, Manchester Bridge and Downtown
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!
