Taking the Motor City by foot.

Who needs cars when you can see so many interesting things by foot? I mean, the distances are kinda far, but if you've got time, you've got energy.

There for your protection?

Poles just show up out of nowhere.

To me, Windsors always counts as being apart of Detroit (but I respect and value your independence as a separate city within another country.)

Thanks for checking my photos out and always stay pretty!

Hey man these were great. Thanks for the familiar sites. I definitely love the crisp evening ones.

See you took a stroll through the Brewster projects. You go up? They are pretty interesting though I haven't been inside those towers since 09

I wanted to, just wasn't feeling entirely fearless by myself though. I mostly found it interesting that people parked all around the projects for the Tiger's game that day. And all over Brush Park too. In addition to all the parking downtown! I heard it was some sort of record attendance.

But yea, I didn't go in. Lol.

Brilliant photographs. What is with the shoes?

Local artist making a message about the homeless. Not critique what he did, but I'm saying I would have done it differently.

Nice thread. good mix here. i found the shoes to be intriguing too. did you go into any of those abandoned housing projects? im wondering what the view would be like from the top.

Stellar

I love how if you look at the little figure on the left it seems to be praising the bronze, but its shadow seems to be praying.

Nice Work! Too many keepers to pick a "hands down" favorite...although the colors and angles in the Millender Center People Mover Station shot especially caught my eye.

Very nice! The new bright blue lighting around the top of the Renaissance Centre has made quite an impact on the skyline.

Good photos! The installation with the shoes looks kind of fun.

Great tour, man. Yeah, the colors really add to it. My favorite is the zoom-in of the RenCen from Brush Park. There is something about the skyline from Brush Park I just love.
