Flickr is neat! I had a good time playing with it and searching for all kinds of photos. Here is a picture of some factory ruins on Belle Island in Richmond:

Belle Island is in the middle of the James River in downtown Richmond. When I was a teenager my friends and I would cross over to the island on rocks when the river was low. It was eerie - like a deserted city all overgrown by vegetation. We would hang out there all day, swimming in the river, sunbathing, and exploring the old deserted buildings. Now they've made the island into a park with footbridges from the banks of the James. The city holds concerts, festivals, etc. there. It's very cool and much safer, but doesn't hold the "charm of the forbidden"that it had 40 years ago. (Jeez...has it been that long??)
