I don't know if any of you guys have noticed, but we've had some dope as hell clouds around here lately. Screwy weather kinda does that (tee-shirt weather today, 10in of snow forecast for tomorrow). I was up at the new City Hall observation deck a few days ago and these were a few pictures I took.
Over the Capitol District and Shockoe. I really like this shot because it does an amazing job of showcasing the architectural diversity of the city of Richmond. From the left we have the tallest (by stories) skyscraper in Richmond: the modernist-style James Monroe Building. Then, just below that we see the Mesopotamian-Revivalist Patrick Henry Building, better known as the Virginia Supreme Court. Beside that we see the neo-gothic towers of Old City Hall. Those spires then lead us up into the Jeffersonian Neo-Classical style of the State Capitol, which is shown right below the modernism of downtown buildings like the Wachovia tower and the international-style Bank of America Building. Many styles, one skyline.
Over the Monroe Building and Church Hill.
Over Church Hill and Northside.
I'm not particularly patriotic, but this did make for a pretty cool shot.
This guy stormed out onto the observation deck and over to the windows really angrily. I think the clouds calmed him down.
