Top Photo: This photographic collage is a mixture of a photo entitled, "Varina and the Evening Moon" taken by Richmond photographer, Lynda Richardson and Captain John Smith's Map of 1612. Varina, a resident bald eagle that has been on the James River since 2009 was perched on the top of a tree, and evening moon was setting in the southwestern sky, offering up the perfect background. The artwork and accuracy of the map from 1612 is remarkable given the tools Captain Smith had to work with over 400 years ago. --Photo by Lynda Richardson, Collage by Discover the James
