Down by the river

I was in Richmond for a few days recently and spent an hour or so ambling about on the James River. Belle Isle and Brown Island are a couple of popular parks in the area.

Here's a shot of the river, with some tiny islands click to enlarge).



This is a foot bridge that runs from the North Richmond side to Belle Isle. Belle Isle, incidentally, was the location of some iron works and a prisoner-of-war camp during the, er, late unpleasantness.



I don't know what this used to be, but it looked kind of neat: the rusty old frame of an abandoned building nestled among encroaching greenery.
