Views of Staunton, VA
A photographic record of whatever leapt out at us
You may not find this terribly rewarding unless you're included here, so this is a good time for casual and random browsers to turn back before they get too caught up in the sweep and majesty of the proceedings and can't let go.
We returned to the USA, after long mostly blissful years in Switzerland, in March 2019, and settled in western Virginia, in the Shenandoah Valley town of Staunton, seat of Augusta County.
'Historic Staunton', a fairly charming town of some 24,000 citizens, is interesting in many ways, but perhaps most of all for its late 19th century architecture, most of it courtesy of the architect T. J. Collins, who filled the city with over 200 designed or remodeled buildings between 1891 and 1911.
The "Old Y", N. Augusta St. in Staunton
In the absence of Italian cities to photograph, and Swiss snowshoeing adventures in the Jura mountains, we're turning to whatever else parades before our little Canon PowerShot here in the USA, and this menu page is meant to gather together some of these little celebrations of Staunton's charms.
