Gray Day Photos

This Saturday (5-16-09) was a gray rainy day. On my way to visit a friend, I made two stops to capture some ‘flat light’ photos.

Reroute I captured a church spire against the GM headquarters in the distance.

The first stop was near Greektown in Detroit. The new Greektown Hotel gives a new and interesting feature to the downtown skyline.

My next slight detour was to Belle Isle to look at the the old Casino (now used as a meeting place and senior citizens center).

AS I admired the front of the Casino, I heard the sound of a trumpet coming from the back of the building. What I discovered was a lone trumpeter playing in a covered porch. I could understand why he would play at this spot. The sound quality was great from the hard surfaces and the echoes.  Here he is:

Finally before leaving I caught two more shots.
