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.

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.

The photography group got out to take some pictures after a passing storm at sun set. I was hoping to capture some of those clouds but the wind took them away very fast and gave us some blue skies for the sunset. The CSX A-line train bridge has been standing for 97 years and the sun on the arches are wonderful. Still very active bridge with Amtrak and CSX using everyday.

This road is in Maymont and we were watching the geese waddle around looking cold. Still no one around in the park.

Easter on Parade has been a Richmond tradition for a very long time (40 plus years). About 25,000 people come out and walk up and down Monument Ave in the city for festivities. Usually food vendors and other crafts are out and people wear bonnets and also place them on their pets. Colors and outfits that relate to the holiday are worn. This year there was some misty/rainy weather that probably held people from going out but was still a good time. I took my X-Pro2 out and shot most images with the Fuji 60mm f2.4 lens.
