"The Plaza" at Richmond's downtown area in Shockoe Bottom now features a sculpture by Artist John Newman. The sculpture sits just across from the main street station. It's very inviting and quite pleasant to view. I walked the area for about 30 minutes taking in all the blue spot lighting on the ground all around me and observing the unique style of Sculpted Art suspended above - hanging below the I-95 highway overpass. Dragon Fly? - I wondered, No... "Sky Rider", Of Course!
The illuminating blue, enhances the Shockoe Bottom area and creates a festive atmosphere at the same time.
I bumped into another photographer at 10:40 pm on that Monday Night, and we both had to stop for a photo and soak it in. They may call it "The Plaza", but some are settling on other names, like The Blue Plaza, Blue Dots, The Richmond Blues and for me...The River City - Richmond Blues. Enjoy the slideshow pictures of our Plaza, Richmond's newest attraction.
