Recently met up with stevens and headed to downtown Detroit to take some photos (OK, we work together so the meeting up part was easy).

I weaseled us up onto the roof of one of Detroit's tallest buildings and took many pictures, including my Stock Photography II entry . I also took these

.

Our hope was to get some shots as the sun set over the city and the Ambassador Bridge, and the weather was fantastic until about 1 hour before sunset when smoggy, foggy, gray, dreary skies rolled in. Bummer. Still managed a couple decent shots despite the very limited visibility in most directions. Sadly, we both had committments soon after sunset so we did not get many "nighttime" pics of the area.

Am going to try this again in the near future if anyone in the area is interested (safety in numbers theory) - perhaps a Detroit get together, and maybe a trip across the border to Windsor, Ontario, Canada, eh, for some shots of the Detroit skyline at night.

Well, I can't give away all my secrets - then everybody will try 'em and foreclose my ability to weasel myself into such places!

Do you anticipate coming back to Detroit? The reason I ask is that I am heading to Myrtle Beach next Wednesday, so taking pictures Monday or Tuesday night will not work for me since I have 3 runts that won't be seeing me for several days as it is (don't even need to ask she who must be obeyed on this one - who said men can't be taught?). I do want to try that vantage point again myself and I do not want to wear out my welcome or the strings I've pulled.

Perhaps if you have advance notice of a return to this area we can work out some Detroit/Windsor GTG (I already know two others that would like to go).
