Tell Me a Story - March

Out and About 

Richmond, VA, Belle Island and the James River 

Just a few pictures if things that caught my eye while on a road trip to Richmond for the day. 

I thought the lines of the railroad overpass made an interesting frame for the bridges in the back ground. 

A few storm drains along the James River. 

The walking bridge to Belle Island under the 9th street bridge. 

Remnants of the old railroad bridge to Belle Island. 

Up river and dam remnants of the island's abandoned hydroelectric plant

Belle Island housed one of the most notorious prisoner-of-war camps during the Civil War. 

Remnants of an old nail factory and later a ironworks operation which closed in 1972.
