Red Bull Air Race, Detroit

Detroit/Windsor

I went across to Windsor with Harry and Kristie, some family and friends on the Casino Bus which was
fun and I also wanted to see and take some photos of the Red Bull Air Races which were going on that day.
Unfortunately there was a very high black fence all the way along the road, so it made it hard to
find a spot to get a clear view down to the river and the Detroit skyline.
I found an 'outdoor patio' at the Casino, where all the smokers sit..... and poked my lens through the
lattice wall surrounding it to take some shots. This one shows the Red Bull plane flying in front
of the Renaissance Center, the GM World Headquarters building.

This is an outstanding architectural image. Perspective is perfect, the vertical
lines are perfect, and the lighting control is excellent. You did much more
than just poke your camera through the lattice. Well done! V

Great photo. I have never been this close to this structure. I am always getting lost in Detroit. V.

Wow, nice! The building is striking and gives scale to the plane.
