Cold, yet fantastic, evening. Hundreds of people turned out to celebrate the Holiday Tree Lighting at Campus Martius. Here are some photos from the Detroit Tree Lighting 2008. Detroit Stock Photos http://pa.photoshelter.com/c/d etroitstockphotos/gallery-show /G0000a0q.gnvwR8g/ -Steve | ||

We didn't make it to the tree lighting, but when we drove through downtown tonight it was just beautiful. All the trees outlined with lights. The city looks really beautiful at this time of year. | ||

Hi Sg_creative, Your photos show light, growth and hope for Detroit. People around the world need to see this beautiful part of Detroit right now. They need to see the light and hope that is present and growing in Detroit. Your photos are showing that. Detroit is getting a lot of scrutiny right now and your photos can help change perceptions. So, good luck! Here are my favorite photos. They are the .JPG numbers: 1. 0182 2. 0177 3. 0156 4. 0169 5. 0191 - Good Tree Shot - (crop tighter) 6. 0192 - Good Tree Shot - (crop tighter) 7. 0180 - Skating. Get Hard Rock guitar in focus. Get some people in this shot laughing and having a good time on the ice. Great colors. 8. 0183 One comment about the tree lighting..., there did not seem to be a crowd there. Detroit has got to love Detroit before they can expect the world to love Detroit! | ||

Thanks. I agree that Detroit is getting better all the time. Just imagine that area 8 years ago and look at it now. AWESOME! -Steve | ||

There were a lot of people, but it seemed like the moment the tree was lit, most people cleared out. Too cold, I guess. | ||

Sg_creative...Man, I sure do hope the server offers you a coupon; maybe a rebate. Seriously though...looking forward to seeing your photos of tree lighting. | ||

Nice photos. I drove by CM on Sunday evening and it was very pretty. Wanted to stop for some skating but the GF wasn't up for it. I am struck by the relative lack of crowd at the lighting. I would love to have made it, but had no chance of arriving that early. |
