Its impossible to measure the value of the beauty of the James River for all those who get to gaze upon it. The fall can be the best time to soak up a few great views of the James. Working our way downriver in no particular order of beauty, here are 10 memorable views of the James:
1. The Upper James in Buchanan, VA
2. Balcony Falls along Rt. 501; southeast of Glasgow, VA
3. Harry F. Byrd Bridge over the James (Blue Ridge Parkway); north of Big Island, VA
4. The Riverfront of Lynchburg, VA
5. The Rt. 15 Bridge at Bremo Bluff, VA
6. CSX Railroad Bridge in Richmond, VA
7. The Belle Isle Footbridge; Richmond, VA
8. Libby Hill Park, Church Hill Neighborhood; Richmond, VA
9. Dutch Gap and Henricus Historical Park; Chesterfield, VA
10. Jamestown Island, VA
What are your favorite places to view the James River?
Thank you for linking to my photo 4. The River front of Lynchburg Virginia. By the way one of my photos of the James River was used in a PBS movie called Ahead of the curve. The photo used was this one: http://www.flickr.com/photos/lynchburgvirginia/244564100/in/set-72157622448552725/#/photos/lynchburgvirginia/244564100/in/set-72157622448552725/lightbox/
