Interesting stuff besides the river view. The men in front of the shed are almost lost because of the dark shed. You can see the buildings of Aiken's Landing in the haze at the top right. If I'm not mistaken the Aiken house still exists though it's a private residence. That is the area where John Rolfe first started cultivating tobacco.
