A Tale of Two Countries....

Detroit Skyline, from Grosse Ile, Michigan

Some people look out of the window, and see dark, overcast skies, and think man this is crappy weather!  Others, called photographers, look through the same window, see the same dark gloomy skies, and see a thing of beauty and drama! 

The skies were dark, and the wind was cold and heavy.  The sky was filled with dark, dramatic clouds, that were moving very quickly by as I stood along the Grosse Ile coastline, framing my shot!  In the distance, the Canadian Coastline, and a little further off, Detroit's Renaissance Center, and the rest of the Detroit Skyline.  I crouched down in the mud, and composed the shot!

For those of you who like trivia....it is a little known fact that Detroit is the only place in the United States, that you can stand along the shore and look South and see Canada.  It is an even less known fact, that along the coastline of Grosse Ile, you can look North, and see the edge of Ontario, Canada, with the Detroit Skyline towering from behind! 

Had a great time shooting, and got a lot of great shots......they may all be dreary and grey, but that's ok!
