Reston: Fairfax County Pkwy at Dulles Toll Rd
Built around Robert E. Simon’s planned new-town vision, Reston grew into a major residential and business community in Northern Virginia. Founded in 1964, it was conceived as a self-contained community where homes, workplaces, schools, shops and open space would sit close together rather than be separated into single-purpose districts. Lake Anne, an artificial lake at the original village centre, remains central to that plan, while trails and wooded corridors thread through newer neighbourhoods. Reston lies south of the Potomac River in Fairfax County, within the wider Washington metropolitan area. Its mix of offices, housing and public spaces gives this suburb a deliberately planned identity.

Centered on Lake Anne, Reston developed into one of the United States’ earliest large-scale planned communities, founded in 1964 by Robert E. Simon Jr. In Fairfax County, northern Virginia, its original Lake Anne Village Center was designed by architect James Rossant and retains the pedestrian-focused modernism of the town’s first phase. Reston’s plan brought homes, shops, schools and open land together in connected neighborhoods rather than isolated districts. A chain of man-made lakes and wooded paths gives the community a green suburban character, while the Washington & Old Dominion Trail passes through Fairfax County nearby.

Among the regions of the United States, Virginia stands out for its sweep from the Blue Ridge Mountains to the Chesapeake Bay. Its varied terrain includes the Shenandoah Valley, the Piedmont of the central counties, and a long Atlantic-facing coast. Richmond, on the James River, is Virginia’s capital and a major centre of American Civil War history; farther east, Jamestown was the site of England’s first permanent settlement in North America, founded in 1607. Shenandoah National Park and its Skyline Drive trace the crest of the Blue Ridge. Move on to other webcams in the region to compare landscapes and settings around Virginia.

The Atlantic, Pacific and Gulf coasts define much of the United States — their ports, fisheries and trade routes have long tied the country’s economy to the wider world. Between them, the Rocky Mountains, Great Plains and Mississippi River basin form sharply different regions, from high western ranges to broad agricultural heartlands. Cities carry much of the national story: New York’s Statue of Liberty, a gift from France dedicated in 1886, remains an enduring symbol, while Washington, DC concentrates major federal institutions. Indigenous nations have shaped these lands for millennia, and their living cultures remain essential to the country’s identity.
