Here we have the John Smith statue in front of the excavated ruins of Jamestowne. He faces the James River, which he probably stared at a lot while his colony was going through the pains of growth and alternating decay. The people he brought with him were settlers, while he and many who would follow him were not content to merely stay by the river, but explore it further upstream and into the wilds beyond. Behind him is a lovely tidewater pine and baldcypress forest, probably looking not that different from when he first set ashore here.
