While in Richmond, I decided to hike the Northbank Trail across to Belle Isle. Never heard of Belle Isle? Well, here's some info from the Virginia Department of Wildlife Resources:
"The human history on Belle Isle predates the arrival of Europeans. Over the centuries, it was home to a Powhatan settlement, a rich fishery, a 19th-century ironworks, a 20th-century hydroelectric plant, and most tragically, a notorious Confederate Army prisoner-of-war camp. Today, it is an immensely popular location for outdoor recreation and wildlife watching in the Richmond area."
Accessing Belle Isle requires crossing the James River on a suspended pedestrian bridge.
Connecting again today to Skywatch Friday.
Good sneaky look.
