Many patrons find the Richmond Landmark Theatre, or certain areas of it anyway, to be spooky. After looking at this photo of one of its hallways, I can’t argue with them. Some even claim that it is haunted by a ghost who occasionally frequents one of the upper balconies. But as rational beings, we know there’s no such thing as a ghost.

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.

What do you call this? Is it graffiti? Is it pure art? Does graffiti count as art? Well, I imagine that depends on what type of graffiti you’re talking about. One thing is clear though: there is at least some graffiti in this photo. Look at the upper left. You’ll see that someone got on a ladder and spray-painted PJ hearts M. That’s really too bad. This is one of the finest paintings of Lady Di, killed in the summer of 1997, that has ever found itself on the back of a building. Some people visit downtown Richmond for the sole purpose of gazing at this beauty.

According to the photographer, this shot of the John Marshall Hotel was taken from the top of the Media General building. It’s not too far from a couple of Richmond personal injury law firm buildings. You’ll notice the unique shadow that this building casts on the inner portion of itself. You can only see this type of shadow if you capture the building at a specific time of day and from a very precise angle.

Sunlight sneaking into a church in downtown Richmond. This picture sends shivers down an old lady’s spine. If you didn’t see the movie Cat in the Knack, you might not get that reference.

You have to admire what the photographer decided to do in this shot of the Church in the Wildwood. This is a very nice view of the church from a classic wide angle. If I’m not mistaken, there’s a Richmond bank a couple of blocks away from where this photo was taken. Technorati Tags: Church, city, fall, cary, richmond, rva, street, architecture, wide angle

Here a stupendous view of a skylight from Old City Hall, deep in the heart of Richmond. If you were born before 1940, this view really brings back memories. Kind of makes you want to stand up and hum, “Baby it’s cold outside.”
