Hello all.
Our trip to downtown Detroit was wonderful.
It is so nice to be able to have new subject matter for our eyes to feast on.
I didn't, however, get many photos of STREET PHOTOGRAPHY, which was our purpose in going on the River Walk.
But I am sure that I can come up with something by next Thursday when our monthly club meeting occurs.
Arriving today will be the first of my husband' family to come to town for a family reunion. He has 2 brothers and 5 sisters. Yes, I will be busy for a while. I always seem to be busy. Maybe it is because I am slowing up so much now and cannot do two things at once. Or possible, when I get down doing the one thing, I am tired and procastinate doing the others things that I need to do. Whatever the reason, I am producing half the amount of outcome that I usually do, I just hope that the quality is still up to the proper standards.
Here is the famous statue that rests at the foot of Woodward avenue in downtown Detroit. I posted the same photo in B&W in the August Challenge thread. Joe Louis is one of the most famous boxers. Joseph Louis Barrow (May 13, 1914 – April 12, 1981) was an American professional boxer who competed from 1934 to 1951. Nicknamed the Brown Bomber, Louis is widely regarded as one of the greatest and most influential boxers of all time. He reigned as the world heavyweight champion from 1937 until his temporary retirement in 1949. He was victorious in 25 consecutive title defenses, a record for all weight classes.[nb 1][2] Louis had the longest single reign as champion of any boxer in history.
On the back of the arm is engraved:
A Monument to Joe Louis by Robert Graham.
A GIFT FROM SPORTS ILLUSTRATED TO THE PEOPLE OF THE CITY OF DETROIT.THE DETROIT INSTITUTE OF ARTS AND ITS FOUNDERS SOCIETY ON THE OCCASION OF THE MUSEUM'S CENTENNIAL, 1885-1995.
Well, time to move along and shop for food to feed our guests.
Have a great Thursday.
By the way, I posted a B&W version of this in our August Challenge. I actually like the B&W more.
