Downtown Detroit Gleaming

Belle Isle State Park K-1487

When I was at Belle Isle the previous day around the same time, I saw this beautiful sight. I snapped a picture with the cell phone; I was not happy with the results. I returned the next day with my SLR and monopod to capture this image. The buildings are about 3/4 mile ( 1.2 Km ) away. At the lower left of the picture, you see the lights outlining the Ambassador Bridge, that links Detroit, MI to Windsor, ON Canada. Belle Isle is in the middle of the Detroit River that separates the two countries and is part of the United States. I should take the tripod the next time. Temperatures were around 0 deg C (32F)

Downtown Detroit gleaming!
