RenCen under construction in Detroit

 

The Renaissance Center in Detroit, MI was finished in 1977. While it was under construction, I took several photos of it. The camera was a Pentax and I used Kodak Tri-X film. I do not remember if I developed the film or sent it, but here are some shots taken in the winter of 1976-1977.

That same winter I captured a wild pony and some late blooming flowers.

This last scene was along the Rouge River.

Gray days in Ann Arbor

On a trip to Ann Arbor, my wife and I enjoyed the cold, gray, winter like weather. Here are a few of only a very few shots taken. It was just too cold to enjoy outdoor shooting.
This cake did not stand a chance of making it home.

Hard work will warm a body and remember hard work is good for you.
Heavy gray clouds and a shiny glass building is a spectacular sight.

Sun and Snow

Yesterday's snow had a heavy gray feel. Today the sun adds sparkle to the surfaces covered with it.



You have to love those Lightroom presets.

Fresh Snow

I love the first fresh snow of the season. Early morning with heavy gray clouds seems to have a between heaven and earth feeling.










The animals do not let this snow stop them from doing what their habits tell them to do.














I love this time of year, before the sameness has had a chance to dull my senses.
