Setting Sun at Libby Hill

August 24, 2016 — Leave a comment

Libby Hill is a great park that isn’t too far from the city center of Richmond. There is hardly ever a lot of people there and you can get a good seat as the sun sets if you just want to read a book or picnic. I took the photography club up there to catch the sun set but there were a lot of lower clouds that blocked it. There were still pink and red clouds to be had as the sun dropped even more. Plus you have Main Street coming right at you with lights and sounds.

Hike up to Cascade’s

So I managed to get in some time and drive 3.5 hours to Cascade falls that were a lovely falls but for some reason I didn’t get any good pictures of the falls so I might try again some day. The hike was great and cool, a nice breath from the summer. The trail travels right along the stream the entire time so there is always a photo opportunity. I even stopped by Mountain Lake right after this where the filmed Dirty Dancing.

The Lee Bridge is right in the city of Richmond. It is route 301/1 and there is awalking bridge underneath that is meant for pedestrian use. Taking that leads you to Bell Island in the city which is a great park to get away. The Lee Bridhge travels right on over the island and you can some interesting angles from in.

Storm over the Sunflower’s

Hello, it has been awhile since I last uploaded a photograph. I have had a busy summer. So much in fact I have not go to the beach to go swimming or relax. I did get to go to Washington and Oregon State which was really exciting. The summer has been hot here but still doesn’t keep me from going outside. Recently, the photography group took a trip to a brewery that had a field of sunflowers that were blooming. A storm was rolling in and added some interesting skies that day.

Looking over the Hill

My girlfriend and I occasionally go up to Libby Hill Park in the City where you can sit on the grass or bench and get a great view of the setting sun over the city. We will brings books to read while we sit there or I will walk around with my camera seeing whats going on. It sometimes can be crowded but this night was actually really relaxed. These guys came by for a stop to look before they kept walking down the street.
