This afternoon I tore myself away from work and took a walk. I don't normally take a lunch hour; I'd rather keep working. But today I grabbed the camera and headed out.

There was some live music playing across the street; it was Another Level, a local R&B band. They did a pretty kick-ass rendition of "Papa Was a Rolling Stone" when I stopped to listen (you can listen to it on their website).

After a while I headed up to Capitol Square. They had just finished remodeling the Capitol and the grounds; the Queen of England was there not too long ago. I ran into a co-worker on my way there, and we talked about college graduations and Virginia's environmental policy.

I took some photos on the Capitol grounds, and then headed up to the old Virginia State Library and City Hall buildings, which have both been replaced by larger edifices (the new State Library is beautiful; City Hall is, um, not). Then I headed back to work.

I think I should get out more. For more, check out my downtown Richmond photos on Flickr.
