Evening, Belle Isle Casino

The Belle Isle Casino lit at night, Casino reflections in a puddle--we've had LOTS of rain in the past few days, Casino reflections with a bench, freighter passing on the Detroit River as seen from the casino. The trees, which are quite large, give an idea of the size of it. Click images to view larger.

Cool shots. I think it looks great when "deserted" though I hate to say that about any building. Loved the piano recital shots too (coming from old band geeks).

i like the building .it's interesting and it doesn't really look like a casino .

It's not a casino in the modern sense and I don't think any gambles there.

Thanks ro pumpkin!

Fantastic looking building, what was it before it became a casino?

I love the reflection shots, especially the third! Maybe because it's more personal. Great 'building' photograph too, it's very grand looking ... :)

Beautiful reflections!

I just published my last post for this year. I'm leaving town tomorrow, will be back in mid Jan.

Happiest holidays and a very good 2008 to you and yours, Mary!

Thanks so much Curly, Anonymous, Fenix. Happy Holidays to you.

I believe the Casino was built to be a "Casino" at a time when buildings were made more nicely than they are now. But I will try to find out.

Have a great trip Fenix.
