American Vacation
Ágúst and I took a vacation in the US, landing in NYC and driving down to Virginia, then eventually Corolla in North Carolina for a week at the beach. This was one of the many rest stops we stopped to stretch our legs and get something to drink or eat. I loved the pea green water tower over the red and yellow structure.
View from my grandmother's porch in West Virginia. I love the rolling mountains going back and back.
One of the many gardens in Colonial Williamsburg. I loved the bright green tree front and center.
A bee in a sunflower.
The even lines of this house with the nice green hedge attracted my eye.
So peaceful in some of these yards. I loved the pink flowering tree, and if you look at the full size, there is a male and female cardinal (Virginia's state bird) perched on the fence.
A professor's lecture perch at William and Mary college. The glowing, symmetrical windows with the dark paneling made this a nice shot to me.
Love the old map, and candles on either side of the fireplace.
The front view of one of William and Mary's original lecture halls.
And one of the gardens on the side.
An out of business Chinese restaurant in downtown Richmond, Virginia. I liked the faded cracking paint.
Virginia Science Museum. This was an epic train station at one point.
A pool on the 2nd floor of a parking garage at the Comfort Inn on Broad Street.
The elevator area at the Comfort Inn. I loved the park bench and big window.
Lots of Richmond looks like this, but the sunset made it somehow beautiful.
Inside a parking garage. I loved the rhythm of all the poles and glowing light from outside.
A big, hot, desolate parking lot.
View from behind our beach rental house. It just felt so peaceful and beach like, it captured my relaxed feelings of the week.
The Wright Brother's monument in Kitty Hawk, North Carolina. The sky was beautiful that day.
Beautiful sunset in West Point, Virginia.
While we were waiting in the heat at Richmond International Airport, I saw this massive area under construction, and it perfectly captured the blazing heat we felt the entire week.
