Lewis Ginter Japanese Garden

Lewis Ginter Botanical Gardens is a nice garden to go to in the Richmond area, it is a lot less busy in the winter once the light festival is over probably becase not much is growing yet till spring. There was a week that it was open for free right after the light festival and that was when I stopped by.

Richmond Snow

Richmond not to long ago had a nice snow that caused road problems but did get me out of work for a day. The snow was beautiful and when it was coming down it was coming down. The city streets were hard to navigate in cars and also a lot of people that park there were blocked in from the plow trucks putting mounds up by the cars.

Main Street Station

Main Street Station has been in Richmond for a long time, 1901 to be exact. It was the main station in the area until the 50s when the Broad Street Station took passengers (Science Museum). It now operates as a Amtrak station and events are held there. I was walking around down in the bottom with a friend when I captured this photograph.

Through the Tree

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.
