Detroit Sunrise

While I'm not a huge fan of working downtown, I do really enjoy the view.  Being breast cancer awareness month has the whole town in sync.  The RenCen was wrapped in pink ribbons (the very top of the towers) and the BCBSM tower is sporting a giant pink ribbon in LED lights on one side of the building.  Nature cooperated too as you'll see in a minute.



I don't come around to this side of the building much since it looks directly at the other buildings (in the above picture I'm in the second building to the right on the side that faces the first building on the right) but the sunrise reflecting off the towers looked pretty cool.  In an odd stroke of photography fate, the reflection of the ceiling lights and even a lighted doorway also showed up making them look like hovering alien aircraft.

Here's where the sunrise really started to cooperate in painting the town pink.  Gawd it was a gorgeous picture!

And now we have PINK!  You can see the pink ribbon on the BCBSM tower on the far left edge of the picture if you squint.  The sky pretty much steels your focus.

Seconds later some beams burst through the clouds and morning was on its way.
