Belle Island Footbridge and Skyline Richmond Virginia by Ella Derbyshire

Nikon D80's

This is the Belle Island Pedestrian Bridge and part of the Richmond Virginia skyline.

The pedestrian bridge is tucked under the Robert E. Lee Bridge, which is the span of Route 1 over the James River. It is surrounded by interesting things to see, like trains, the piling of the old Robert E. Lee Bridge and river rocks and rapids.

Belle Island is a great place to spend an afternoon. Although there are some steep trails for dirt bikes and more seasoned hikers, the footpath around the island is gentle enough for novice and less ambitious walkers.

I was impressed with the country setting nestled among the buildings and highways of the State Capital. Matt, thank you for showing me this place and for helping me make this panorama of a view with two moons.
