Cityscape Slices of life and scenes in Richmond-“Long Exposure Tracks,” an image showing railroad tracks crossing the James River from Richmond’s floodwall, won the Cities & Towns category in the Scenic Virginia Photo Contest. The photo was taken in January by Richmond resident Katelynd Bab, who moved here in 2022. Bab, who has been photographing for about a decade, said she was drawn to how the image reflected the city’s character through its mix of water, steel and skyline. Scenic Virginia announced contest winners last month across nine categories, from Coastals & Waterways to Farms & Open Spaces. The full gallery of winning images is available at scenicvirginia.org.
