Phoenix

A Phoenix from a monument at Elmwood Cemetery in Detroit. Ironically, it is a large ornate monument for a woman who died and was buried overseas.

The dark stains are a result of burning coal. Much of the statuary and many of the old buildings in Detroit are stained like this.

Eastern Market

Marie posted market shots on her Montpellier Cityblog, so here are some from Eastern Market, a huge farmer's market near downtown Detroit. They sell fruits and vegetables, flowers, honey, bread and so on. It's usually bustling, but I was there at the end of the day and it was rainy and windy and people were leaving early.

White Sun Chop Suey

This is the the sign on the side of the abandoned building on Jefferson that is decorated with Pewabic Pottery. There are many abandoned buildings in Detroit.

More Pewabic Pottery

This abandoned building is located on Jefferson in Detroit (not far from Pewabic Pottery). Like many buildings in Detroit, from the simple to the ornate, it is decorated with Pewabic Pottery tiles.
