Detroit under Fog

Here's what it looks like outside our window on the 54th floor of the RenCen at 8:30 am this morning.

Foggy Detroit IV

Foggy Detroit I

As a frame of reference, here is the Ambassador Bridge as I shot it two nights ago.

It's amazing as it rolls in over the city.

Good thing we're driving rather than flying today!

Puppy Love

Puppy Love BW


Taken at the Hamtramck Festival in Detroit Michigan, Labor Day weekend 2007. He had no idea I was aiming a camera at him.

Here it is in color; I can't decide which works the best!

Signs at the Carnival

The computer is back, and I've got a ton of photos ready to post! Here are a few signs for the more interesting foodstuffs found at the carnivals I've been to lately.

From the Hamtramck Labor Day Festival, in Detroit Michigan. Can you tell it's a Polish-based carnival? (They spelled Babchi differently than we do. Who knew?)

Now, THAT'S some awesome carnival food!

I HIGHLY recommend the pierogis at the Hamtramck Festival. These people do not mess around.



From the Romeo Peach Festival, in the rural area a small town several miles outside Detroit. You would think given the name of the festival, the pie area would be more prominently displayed, but this is it. Just one lone sign tied up to a post.

Peach Pies that-away!

I did not have any peach pie, sadly.



Frozen Coke? Really?

Frozen Coke? Really?

I didn't try this one.




I guess I shouldn't be surprised at the frozen Coke. This one is MUCH weirder!

Deep Fried Twinkies??

Taken at the Naperville Ribfest in Naperville IL, summer 2006. I did have the deep-fried Snickers, just to say I did. It was pretty good!

There are a few more carnival rides and such at the Carnivals and Fairs photoset on Flickr. Check them out!

Take your chances, step right up!

More from the Romeo Peach Festival in Michigan...

Midway in the morning

It looks a little less exciting and glamorous in the morning than it does at night lit up, but it's still eye-catching. See, no one can resist!
