A Winter Drive

 The best view of Detroit is from Belle Isle

 Greeters.....and they were everywhere

 Oh, the fountain.....makes me think of summer.

 The casino

 Bridges

 Conservatory

 The red bridge

 Waiting 

Leaving......bridge back to the city

It was so cold the day that I drove around the island that most of these photos that I took were from my car. There is so much construction going on and I was unable to drive all the way around the island as it was detoured. I heard on the radio this morning about the high water levels and what they are doing to contend with the flooding. They said out of 20 picnic structures only 8 are able to be used due to water levels. I did see a huge construction area around the Carlion where I think there is going to be the new flower garden. I noticed last year that that area was under water so I wonder what they will do to rectify that before the garden is planted. There were huge earth movers and other heavy equipment in use. It is a shame that over a month in the summer the park is turned into a circus (Grand Prix). Every year they keep adding more concrete staging areas for the race. Ruins a beautiful island.
