Zoom In, Zoom Out: Scenes from Detroit

I spent three exhausting days in Detroit over the weekend. Went to bed WAY too late all three nights, and was on the go most of every day. The moderator election did not turn out the way we hoped, but the experience of attending the Presbyterian General Assembly was definitely a good one—and a learning experience as well. I got to know some members of my congregation much better, and met some really wonderful people from all over the country.

The first of the Zoom In, Zoom Out photos is another pick for Rinda’s Summer Scavenger hunt:  an urban scene. This is the Ren Center in downtown Detroit. We were staying at the Marriot there.

One way to get to the COLA Center from our hotel was to walk down Jefferson Ave. The first two shots above were taken on Jefferson Ave. The other way was along the river walk and the last photo above and the next two were taken along the river.

You can join in at Helena’s Zoom In, Zoom Out meme anytime, and you can check out the other photos right here.

We’re going out to dinner with friends tonight and then to the Members Only party to see the new Lewis Hine exhibition at the George Eastman House. The opening parties are one of the perks of being a member. There are light refreshments, live music, and a chance to see the exhibits prior to the public opening. Although I have one set of photos for Rinda’s scavenger hunt for a public garden, I’m hoping to get some good ones tonight at the George Eastman House gardens. The light should be perfect!
