Confederate Memorial Chapel, Richmond, VA (151/365)

***Click on the photo to see a larger image***

Today a trip was made to the Confederate Memorial Chapel in Richmond, VA
Ralph & Kahu served as "cannon fodder" in an original Civil War cannon!
The cannon, from a different angle and sans Ralph
The actual chapel
The cannon was used in the battle at Ft. Sumpter 
The chapel, another angle
One of my favorite houses in the city, I think it is actually part of the museum's property now
The house has a beautiful balcony, right out of Romeo and Juliet!

St. Paul's Church - Petersburg, VA (120/365)


It's another Wednesday, Where's Ralph edition.  
Can you find him in the above picture?

I was in Petersburg visiting a patient's family and had parked next to St. Paul's.
I nearly met my death placing Ralph in the picture, as I had slippery shoes on and had to climb up a rock curb, reach pretty far out over the shrubbery to place him.  
I slid on the curbing and almost back upon the iron daggers of the fence.  
But, I got the shot!

Here are some more photos, sans Ralphie.  
My apologies for the quality, as they were all taken with my cell phone.
