Walking in Bryan Park in Richmond is very relaxing. Not crowded usually and there are plenty of trails through the woods and have some ponds. When I took this picture I had just gotten a Fujica G690bl Medium format camera with the 100mm f3.5 lens. This image was captured using that on Holga 400 120 film. So far really like the camera but I need to get a strap for it and one that can handle thee weight because this rangefinder is large indeed.
Was out with the group recently again to grab some great pictures of Monument Avenue in the city of Richmond. There are some great houses down there and they also do a great job at decorating and lighting them up for the holidays. It was a great time and there were plenty others walking down the avenue enjoying the lights with coco. I used my Canon 60D and EF-S 17-55mm f2.8 lens for all these shots with a tripod of course.
Thanks for looking!
This past Christmas Holiday I went down to the flood wall on the Manchester side of the city to capture the lights of the city skyline. The edges of the buildings get festive and you can capture some great reflections on the James River. It go cool that night but the sky was clear and I had a great time with others out there.

I enjoy walking downtown after work if I can. Usually though I get out of work around 4-4:30pm and doesn’t allow me enough time to go home get changed and get to the city before it is already dark. There are a few days though I get out early and the summer is always nice as I have plenty of time after work before the sun sets. I was walking with my Konica Hexar AF this day with some Fuji Pro400h loaded in. Occasionally I see some old cars and some old rusty cars still being used parked downtown. I captured this in mid fall.
Great little place up along the Higashiyama mountains that is off the philosophers path in eastern Kyoto. The temple is small but a pleasure to stop at. There are stairs to raise up into deep shade and the thatched gated entrance is nice. There are two mounds that sit right before you as you enter. They are supposedly to purify you as you enter. I was there in the afternoon and had to wait a long while before I could take this without anyone in the picture.

Love this place and so peacful to walk up to this temple to off the philosophers path.
