Default (56k) Belle Isle in Richmond, VA.

Not sure if everyone here on H-T is into photography of anything besides cars, but I'll give you guys a shot.


Went to Richmond with my g/f on Sunday to pick up her best friend and bring her back home. Brought the camera along and spent an hour or two at Belle Isle while we were there.

When I get home from work tonight at around 8, I can size them for you in whatever resolution you want...I'm guessing you're wanting a background? Which shot(s) did you want?

Out of curiousity, everyone, let me know which one of them is your favorite.

A bit of history about Belle Isle:

<TABLE WIDTH="90%" CELLSPACING=0 CELLPADDING=0 ALIGN=CENTER><TR><TD>Quote &raquo;</TD></TR><TR><TD CLASS="quote">Belle Isle is located west of Richmond, Virginia in the James River. During the Civil War, this small and beautiful island was used as a Civil War Prison. Holding only a few small shacks, the island afforded no protection from the elements to the Union soldiers who were captured and taken there. Prisoners were given tents to sleep in but the tents numbered 3000, while the soldiers held there, numbered almost 10,000 by 1863. A hospital for prisoners and an iron factory were located on the island, but no barracks were ever built for the prisoners, hence the continuous exposure to weather played a large role in the death toll on Belle Isle.

There is controversy over the number of deaths on Belle Isle. The South claims the death rate was low, while the North claims it was very high. According to John Ransom, a soldier who was incarcerated there, "Stormy and disagreeable weather. From fifteen to twenty and twenty-five die every day and are buried just outside the prison with no coffins- nothing but canvas wrapped around them." On February 11, 1864, he further wrote: "a good deal of fighting going on among the men;" they were "just like so many hungry wolves penned together." Prisoners were robbing each other of rations and blankets. The Prison commander admitted he could do nothing to stop the thievery.

Thousands are said to have died, and the island is said to be haunted.
