The Renaissance Center and People Mover, by Mary Stebbins Taitt. Click image to view larger. The Gem of Detroit. As I mentioned yesterday, it is really beautiful, inside and out. And yes, I did fiddle a little with this image. There was a reason for it--a few distracting items like a traffic signal and light. And some sensor spots. In the interest of full disclosure, I will post the original here for those who are curious enough to care.
Hi Mary! I'm dying to see the photo but I can't. It doesn't seem to have uploaded successfully (its URL starts with http://localhost*** isntead of http://bp*.blogger.com/***
ReplyDeleteThanks, I uploaded it again. I had no idea it was going to do that or did that because it looked perfect after I uploaded it. What a pain. Thanks. Hope it stays there now.
ReplyDeleteGreat photo, it looks almost unreal - like an artists impression of what it should look like!
ReplyDeleteWow! What a stunning building...and I simply love the sky! Greetings from TORUŃ DAILY PHOTO here in Poland!
ReplyDeleteNice alterations to the photo! This place looks impressive, and it's quite beautiful.
ReplyDeleteI have seen this building many times -- I used to ice skate at Hart Plaza and state up at it. I also worked in Greektown, just down the street. I love your blog, love this picture, love the RenCen. Too bad Detroit can't seem to pick itself up again. I like the dark sky, ominous, like a warning. Like Detroit.

Gorgeous photo!
ReplyDeleteThanks so much Mountainboy, Glenn Standish, Waldo Oiseau, Kelli K and Berrybird for all you wonderful and very kind comments!
ReplyDeleteAmazing shots. It's funny that the RenCen was originally tied in with Ford and is now GM's headquarters. Although probably a bit sad for the New Center area, it's good that the RenCen has been changed to be a bit more friendly.
ReplyDeleteI left two comments here yesterday, but the second one never showed up! This is a great photo. Love those buildings and the way you've capture them.
ReplyDeleteThanks so much for trying again. I sometimes have days where blogger won't allow me to leave any comments anywhere.
ReplyDeleteGreat comments, you guys and gals! :-D
