The Richmond skyline as seen from the Floodwall of the James. If we didn’t know better, it would look like a seaside city.

I enjoy your web site, and so far have been able to avoid blatantly stealing too many ideas. Here’s one I took of old City Hall that I thought turned out ok, if you ignore me ignoring the rule of thirds.

The Jefferson Hotel in Richmond is quite a feast for the eyes and a treat for nose. I say that because there’s always something tasty cooking either in the lobby (often the home of tea dances) or in its restaurant. The roof, as you can see, is rather grand. Some of the more well-to-do business people who are taking an extended stay in Richmond opt to make the Jefferson a temporary home for their corporate housing Richmond endeavours. That can get pricey in a hurry though, so they typically only use the hotel if their corporate extended stay is shorter than two or three days.
