Trip along the Detroit River

This picture was taken along the Detroit River by the Great Lakes Steel mill in River Rouge, MI. The tug boats are actually on a canel that runs off the Detroit River. The famous Zug Island is to the right and the bridge to the island is behind the tug boats. There is a huge freighter in the background beyond the bridge. Zug Island is a man made island and for years and years industrial waste was deposited on the island. Today the island is where huge coke ovens and blast furnaces churn out steel for Great Lakes Steel. There is also large amounts of coal stored there for the ovens. The tugs are used to move coal barges up and down the river.

The end of Fall isn't always bland just less colorful

As fall comes to an end and the leaves completely disappear there are still opportunities to find something colorful to shoot.

These photos were taken at Elmwood Cemetery.

It was a bright sunny day and most the leaves from the trees were on the ground. The few remaining leaves offered spots of color throughout the photo.
