This past Fall, I was inspired to walk around the WSU campus and take in the sights around the area known as Midtown in the city of Detroit. Being new to the place, I was not only eager to learn my way around campus which blended into the city streets, but to also explore the area around, especially since I saw all around me many beautiful old buildings and structures.
A cold wintry day like this is a perfect day to unveil these photos. They are a reminder of blue skies and fair and mild weather that will surely come again! Many are campus buildings, others are area buildings, all within a few blocks.
A slideshow of the many pictures, for your viewing pleasure. Some of them were taken with my trusty Nikon Coolpix camera, but many others were taken with my erstwhile camera-phone. In the words of Julia Morgan, the pioneer American architect, “Architechture is a visual art, and the buildings speak for themselves.”
