A visit to the State Capitol

February 27, 2016 — Leave a comment

The state capitol of Virginia is really a nice building. It has been used for a few movies in the area and it houses the oldest legislative body in the western hemisphere, the Virginia General Assembly. Thomas Jefferson was the head architect of the Capitol Building.

The grounds are lovely to walk around…

The tour is free inside and they have a very nice visitor center where you enter from the street below..d.

Sometimes the weather opens up in the winter where it isn’t to cold and slightly overcast to enjoy a walk. My girlfriend and i took a short walk over to Belle Island to see what was going on. Surprisingly some people were out in kayak’s.

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

February 16, 2016 — Leave a comment

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.

Petersburg Photowalk

Walking with my photography group we headed to Petersburg which is just south of Richmond VA down I-95. The idea since it has a lot of old structures that we would do black and white. I shot with my X-Pro1 on a Rokinon 12mm f/2 and Fuji 35 f/1.4 lenses.
