Card Text (transcribed from postcard): This impressive building occupies an especially desirable and suitable site, adjoining the Confederate Soldier's Home, and is surrounded by a beautiful park, the landscape treatment of which is most pleasing and effective. It was erected for the purpose of perpetuating the memories of persons distinguished in the Civil and Military life of the Confederacy, and of preserving the now priceless relics of that memorable period. The location and environment of the building, as well as the simple dignity and monumental character of its design, are in perfect keeping with the purpose for which it was erected. The cornerstone was laid May 20, 1912.

Infrared is a tricky game. Especially when it's cloudy outside. And rainy.
I recently had one of my cameras converted full time to infrared.
I had a 590nm Filter installed by Kolari Vision.
I did some minimal post-processing, channel swapping and fiddling a little with the hue/saturation.
Seriously... there is no more fun way to immediately void the warranty on your camera. ;-)

Card Text (transcribed from postcard): This stately old mansion owes its fame to the fact that it was the former home of Miss Van Lew, a Union Sympathizer during the Civil War. She frequently found means of conveying secret information to the Federal armies investing Richmond, and harbored for a time the 19 prisoners who escaped from Libby Prison. After the war she was appointed Post-Mistress of Richmond by Gen'l Grant, then president of the U.S. The building is now used as private hospital.

Card Text (transcribed from postcard): The limited area on this cemetery having been filled with graves, no interments have been made therein for several years. The grave of Chief Justice Marshall, side by side of that of his wife, is shown in this view. Marshall's modest and unassuming simplicity of character is evidenced by the inscription he directed for his tombstone, as follows: - 'John Marshall, son of Thomas and Mary Marshall, was born the 24th of Sept. 1755. Intermarried with Mary Willis Ambler the 3rd of January, 1783. Departed this life the 6th of July, 1835.'
