Agecroft Hall

In June, Jourdan and Stefani came over to spend the weekend with Melanie and I for Fathers day. They had proposed a trip to Agecroft Hall in outside of Richmond as a nice day out. Having never heard of Agecroft Hall before, I investigated. It’s a fascinating story of an English manor which fell into disuse and was purchased by T.C. Williams Jr in 1925. The useable parts of the building were disassembled, shipped across the Atlantic and reassembled overlooking the James river in Richmond. It’s an interesting story, and we like old buildings, so it was perfect for a day out. The camera used for these images is the…

Carolina Renaissance Festival

Hi de ho all. Well, tryin’ to get back on the horse a little bit, posting more frequently. Anywho, last year, before our scheduled house move in, Jourdan and Stefani invited us to come down to Durham the week of my birthday, and we would go to the Carolina Renaissance Festival. This was to be a rather tumultuous time in our schedule as we were literally planning to move from Fairfax to Williamsburg the week before. Unfortunately the house wasn’t quite ready yet (no occupancy permit, and as of this time no gas), so it was going to be a bit of a juggle. To add fun to the mix…

Fairfax Cemetery

A couple of weeks ago, I grabbed the Fuji X100f and headed out for a walk to the Fairfax Cemetery. I’ve walked through the cemetery a couple of times before, but this trip was solely for photographic purposes. It prolly wasn’t the ideal day for photography as it was very bright and sunny that day. I’m fond of dark, contrasty imagery, and that can be a challenge in the bright sunlight. Oh well. The cemetery is about a mile away on the other side of the Fairfax Courthouse. An interesting factoid about the Fairfax Courthouse is this is where the infamous Johnny Depp-Amber Heard trial was conducted. Don’t ask me…

Final Photographic Post for 2021

This is not a New Year “summary” as we did that back a couple of months ago…. On New Years Day actually. This is the last set of pictures from the archive of 2021. Meghan and Jourdan came to the house on New Years Eve, and we decided to walk into old town Fairfax for a bite of lunch. So the trusty Fuji X100f came along for the ride (walk). We strolled up Chain Bridge and then turned on Main St. headed North-ish. The Havabite Eatery was right there, so we stopped in for a bite. Can’t give strong recommendations. Basically just frozen food prepared okay. Anyway, after lunch we…

Chattanooga, Part Deux…

To preface the post, I’m struggling a bit with inserting photos into WordPress. For some reason, most (but not all) of the time, they are imported/inserted in an ascending sequence order vice the descending sequence order. For last time’s post, I went and manually typed in the correct order in the WordPress Code editor, but to be honest it’s absurd that this is necessary. I’ve had a plea for help on this topic on the WP forum site for some 5 months and only yesterday did someone respond. I was reminded that this was “Free” software, but the poster asked for installation details and such. Hopefully that means an easy…

Old Mill of Guilford

I’ve had the pleasure (?) of travelling back and forth to Greensboro, NC multiple times over the last couple of months for work. Greensboro is an interesting place, but that’s not what this post is about. Travelling down Highway 68 to get to the facility, I noticed an old mill in the booming metropolis of Oak Ridge, NC. On one particularly bright Sunday afternoon, I was able to escape early and visit the mill in hopes of grabbing some pictures. The Old Mill of Guilford was founded in 1767 and continues operation to this day. Most of the actually milling equipment has been updated or replaced to meet modern health…
