This trip began with plans to see Dogwood Dell, but I soon discovered there was more to the area than that. Hidden behind the Carillon is the Dogwood Dell trail. 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 […]
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 […]
These are pictures I took during a trip to Pocahontas State Park in Chesterfield County. The park is one of the biggest in the area. I went at around midday so I caught the sun at its peak, and though it was a hot day, it didn’t feel like it at the park since there […]
Having already seen the west side of the Manchester Floodwall, I decided to check out the east side for this trip. I began at Brown’s Island as the sun rose. I then headed toward Hull Street, crossed into Manchester, and headed east along the outside of the wall, facing the James River. The walk provided […]
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 […]
