Eric and I were driving down to his moms house tonight to pick up the kids, and I decided to see what kind of photos I could get on my phone while driving down the freeway going through downtown Detroit. Of course Eric was driving while I flashed him..I mean while my phones flash was clickity clacken in his eyes. Thank you Eric for your safe driving with spots in your eyes.
These pictures are clearly not clear, but I thought the blured lights looked cool. So roll up your windows, lock your doors and enjoy your tour of Detroit.
My first picture is Ford Field where our Detroit Lions play Football. ROAR!!!
Ford Field
This second picture is the “cool old church” (the name I have given it because I’m not sure of it’s name) that is across from Hockey Town Cafe.
This third picture is the Fox Theater Garage in red lights, and to the right is the Fox Theater sign in blue on the building. Lots of good plays, concerts, and other entertainment has been had there. I wish the Fox would bring back the Radio City Rockettes for Christmas; what an awesome show.
The fourth picture is the lights at the power polution plants in Delray. Now this area is not so pretty during the day nor is the smell nice. and Eric and I have wondered how people can live in their homes around this area and not form third body parts. But the flashing lights are neat in the photo.
This fifth photo is the Ambassador Bridge to Canada.
And the last three photos are the Motor City Casino. They have tons of cool lights. I tried to take a picture of the other building that stands behind this area but the fast drive-by and delay on my camera were not working in my favor. But the lights line the outside of the other building, and they have the lights set in motion and pictures.
This part of the casino was an original bakery and they actually refaced the building but left part of it’s original brick and name exposed, which I think is pretty awesome.
I hope you enjoyed my drive-by night tour of Downtown Detroit.
So awesome! What a great idea and subsequent great creations! thanks for the tour.
Thank you..my husband thought I was nuts at first but he really liked the pics and my post after..
cute tour! it is interesting how things can be pretty at night but you would never photograph them by choice during the day.
I would like to photograph a few things in detroit during the day..there are so many beautiful old buildings and architecture. I’m really fascinated by the old train station and would love see the building up close. But There is something about photographing the bright lights in a big city at night.
Excellent idea! My husband will have to see these, he’s originally from Dearborn Heights. We were just in Detroit last summer for a week and will probably go again for a reunion next year. Great photos!
Awesome…we live in Eastpointe which use to be East Detroit so we are not far from downtown. And we grew up downriver Melvindale and Lincoln Park, not far from Dearborn. I would like to get downtown one day and take photos and I have been wanting to go over to the old train station for photos. Ah one day..lol
I like this post, enjoyed this one appreciate it for posting .
