Richmond in Pictures III

[burt]

Some interesting rooflines in that photo, Coupe. Most, of course, are flat but the nice tiered top on the old CP Tel (soon Verizon) building looks good, and in the distance we can see the rounded top of Theatre Row.

Mayor Wilder thinks city-owned Theatre Row should be emptied of city agencies to make space available for attorneys' offices across Broad from the new Fed CH.

I think Tommy has reached the age where he is finding other interests to indulge his time. I miss his intelligent comments as well as his pix.

Been in way over my head in work. I'm setting up a new photobucket account..just have to finish editing the pictures from Richmond and the beach. Should be up this weekend, I promise.

I have about 1000 pics for Fulton... it's a little over 1000, that were taken this weekend, two weekends before, and some from 2005. I still have one section of Fulton Hill left to do and later Montrose Heights. My aunt and mother think I'll get shot over there. I've never had a problem with the people down there. Hardly anything is featured on the news from there.

As promised, pictures from the last week in September

Lots of people enjoying the cool, breezy afternoon on the Canal Walk!

[TBurban]

Just took a few that day, hope you enjoyed!

I'm trying to fit in a quick trip to Rocketts this weekend..I'll have to remember to grab the camera

I love this building

Blurry, but I still like the shot

This is quite a massive building. I was surprised it was a courthouse

Thanks for posting these Vdogg! Hopefully Richmond treated you well while you were in town!

The folks who sponsored my Richmond excursion

This building has a very nice vertical presence in person

Ok, I think that's enough for now. I'll post the rest sometime later.

Very nice picture Vdogg. I was gonna go down there myself yesterday but my mom made me run to Sams Club and Costco to pick stuff up. Some time next week you all will see some new pics I guaranteed it.

I took a bike ride around downtown today and took the following...

This was a drainage pipe just on the other side of the floodwall by Vistas. I didn't bother to see where it went...

Awesome reuse project... it's nearly impossible to tell the old from the new!

I have just had the extraordinary pleasure of reviewing Tommy's set posted on 10/06; vdogg's on 10/12; CommRe's on 10/14 and today's post by source.

Tommy has captured the Canal Basin area perfectly, shooting from hidden locations not heretofore utilized. His pictures are lively and artistic at the same time.

Vdogg's set gives a big-city look to the streetscapes. Incidentally, in his 10th picture, the building shown is where the birth of Shockoe Slip's entertainment district began. The original Sam Miller's Restaurant was established in this former Trading floor about 35 years ago and was the start of the area's revival.

CommRe's bicycle photography reveals some hidden treasures, such as the drainage pipe and the opening in the flood wall to Norfolk Southern's James River bridge.

And source records the transformation and expansion of a building on West Cary Street in a section of the City that is improving by the month.

Many thanks to all of you. They are a treasure to look at again and again.

I think its really time for me to go downtown this week and take pictures but it will be hard since I have to work every day this week except tuesday and thursday which is thanksgiving.

Just a couple random pictures from the past couple months. Nothing special, just thought I'd share:

Terrific shots!!! Number 2 should be submitted for photographic awards at a gallery.

Neat perch for picture-taking.

A random photo from a week or two ago:

Shad season!

I wonder what will go here?

Must save!

See, even the building is angry people want to demolish it...

From a pretty foggy day a couple months back:

Well, yes. That last picture really is foggy.

But in the first shot, it's easy to imagine the proposed Williams/Mullin tower rising above the parking garage in the foreground.
