I took a quick drive around Belle Isle today. No clouds, muddy and unseasonably warm. These looked nice in the afternoon sun.

Hard Times For Fans Of The Belle Isle Ice Tree

Please View On Black

Last year there was no ice tree at all. This year, the unusually warm winter (51F today) has made more puddle than ice sculpture.

The "Ice Tree" is a traditional project of the Detroit Fire Department, that sprays a construct of fallen trees to create an abstract and changing ice sculpture.

Age And Neglect

This is a capital of an unused bridge on Belle Isle in Detroit....

Or the way I feel these days from chemotherapy. First time I have been out with the camera this year.

Rock Tower Rework

This is a shot from my November 2010 trip out west. I was not happy with the shot I posted then and decided to try it again with newer software and, I hope, some more skill and taste.

This massive structure, several thousand feet above the road made me stop for a shot. When one lives in the Midwest, as I do, such features are mind boggling. Sandstone structures like this, over thousands and millions of years, start as flat topped buttes and are gradually withered away to towers and then spires and finally needles. Many samples of all stages appear in this part of the world.
