Old Building at Harpers Ferry

June 25, 2016 — Leave a comment

Harper’s Ferry West Virginia is really a neat place to check out. It is where three states join at the intersection of the Potomac and Shenandoah River. West Virginia, Virginia and Maryland. The old part of the town is part of the National Park system and has two active train lines running through. It also is the headquarters and the unofficial half way point of the Appalachian Trail. I took my girlfriend here on a whim after Gettysburg since I had not been in a long time and she never had. It was a gorgeous day to go too. In this old building that was part of an exhibit I noticed that the wall to the left in the photo that the outline with the brick showing through sort of looked like the United States.

Reds at Maymont

June 21, 2016 — Leave a comment

Maymont park is really a great place a lot of people go to in the city. When the weather opens up on the weekend recently there has been some large crowds. During the summer some concerts take place there as there is a large open grassy area. The Japanese gardens located down the hill near the canal and river is really nice. The Japanese Maples have some nice red leaves in the sea of green that is bamboo and other trees there. Definitely worth a stop.

Norfolk Southern Passing by

I was down at the Great Shiplock Park in Richmond the other day with the girlfriend enjoying some nice weather before a hard downpour. The rail that cuts through the side of the park and cross the road is active and this train was passing by. The bridge right behind it is also an active line that has Amtrak and freight trains come through on either coming in at the Main Street Station or heading on up the river. The canal there and the lock at the end is pretty cool to see. Lots of people were stopping by to go fishing on the James.

Cloudy New York

I’m going through some of the photographs that I took on my trip to New York City and I noticed that since it was my first time there I wasn’t taking a lot of good photos but just typical tourist pictures with my sister. I did take a few where I took my time but we were on the move trying to get a visit of the city in 1.5 days. I feel like I did a pretty good job but I missed out on museums and other activities. I still want to see a lot of architecture as there are some amazing tall and older buildings in the city. The skyline is great and just shows that there is a lot more to look forward to when I can get back there to visit.

A Stop in Petersburg

June 11, 2016 — Leave a comment

My girlfriend had never been to Peteresburg so we decided to go down on a rainy day to look at Antique stores and go eat. We both brought our cameras and got around just fine. Not a lot of foot traffic especially with the weather spitting once in awhile. I had my Fujifilm X-Pro2 at hand with a few lenses.DSCF1394

There are a few murals in the City of Petersburg but not as much as Richmond. Petersburg is also going through some political problems like going bankruptcy and kicking the mayor out of office.
