St.Clair Shores, its Bays and Boats
St.Clair Shores - Lake St.Clair is the heart like bulge between Lake Erie and Lake Huron. I suspect its the remains of some glacial scraping. These images are from wandering around along the shores and marinas that outline the lake.
Mikes Bay - one of the charms of New Baltimore is the big bay frontage it has along Lake St.Clair looking due East to Canada and the sunrise. There are opportunities to catch the sunrise in a variety of seasonal disguises and meteorological masques. And as you can see from these photos, the Bay does not fail to charm the eye.
Air Show - Selfridge Air Force Base 2003
The Airshow- at Selfridge Airbase near Detroit is a great outing because of the static display of planes, fun area for the kids plus the great aerial displays put on by such teams as the Red Baron biplane antics and the Air Force's Thunderbirds among others.

Airshow Closeups - the static display of airplanes allows budding photographers to get close-up and personal with many planes - old and new. Airshow Flyby has pictures that remind viewers of the barnstorming era of the 1920-1930's where streaking spirals, death defying hammerheads and g-force loop-de-loops were the order of the day.

Dream Cruise

The Woodward Avenue Dream Cruise 2004 was on a sunny weeked in a wet summer. So Cruisers were out in force up and down Woodward Avenue showing off thousands of vintage, muscle, classic and the new beef on the block. Thanks go to Mike McCullough for providing the images
Woodward Avenue Dream Cruise 2003 - these pictures show the quintessential Motor City experience - Cruisin. Where else in the world would popular demand for cruising and comparing cars be more natural ? ePostacrds of the pics can be sent out directly by clicking on an image title and just following directions from there.
   
Detroit Institute of Arts - is tucked away on the Wayne State University canvas up on Woodward Avenue, The Museum has delightful sculptures and wonderful spaces full of light, vaults, the Diego Rivera murals and a delight for any artistic eye. This is a fun building to walk through. You can visit the DIA online but a walkthrough the expanded galleries is just a great experience including a stop at the Institute Cafe.
Downtown Detroit - is in transition as the core regrows and new vistas like the riverfront Sculpture Garden and the Woodward and Grand Circus areas - with the new Spoprt Parks bring people to the downtown for leisure and shopping as well as business.
Detroit Tiger's new park, Comerica Park, right across the street from the Lion's Ford Stadium, is just a wonderful place for baseball. And the Tigers have honored their baseball heroes with striking statues of Ty Cobb to Willie Horton. This is a fun place to go for a baseball game... now all Tigers have to do is find some new heroes for the present day roster.
MSU Homecoming - is a delight for sports fans and Marching Band aficianados. Of course the MSU Spartans football game is the highlight of the weekend but there is also field hockey, soccer, volleyball ... ohh and the MSU Marching Band. These musicians put on quite a show .. and ever since the movie Drumline, the band action is getting darnright audacious. Great fun and tailgate parties too.
