Local Art

Flying out of Dulles two weeks ago, 

I spotted this display of art works created by local high school students. 

Quite striking, I thought.

Women's March

Eight years ago today, I participated in and photographed what was then considered one of the largest, if not the largest, demonstrations in U. S. history, the Women's March on Washington.

Hydroelectric Plant

The remains of a now abandoned hydroelectric plant in Belle Isle.

Happy New Year!

Happy New Year, friends! Hope you had a restful night :-) and aren't too tired to make a new beginning. I'm starting this new year of photographs with this one taken last Friday along the James River's famed "fall line."  According to Wikipedia:

"The fall line marks the geologic boundary of hard metamorphosed terrain—the product of the Taconic orogeny—and the sandy, relatively flat alluvial plain of the upper continental shelf, formed of unconsolidated Cretaceous and Cenozoic sediments. Examples of Fall Zone features include the Potomac River's Little Falls and the rapids in Richmond, Virginia, where the James River falls across a series of rapids down to its own tidal estuary."
