Industrial framing

This hole in a wall at the old Packard probably used to have some sort of exhaust pipe through it, but I thought it made for a nice frame for the last remaining Packard water tower in the distance.

Not sure where my EXIF data went on this. I took this picture a couple of months ago.

A day at the Packard, and another different view of my favorite water tower. Watching a couple of scrappers cutting out a building... yes, a building, with acetylene torches in the complex today leads me to believe this tower is going to come down soon.

Fun day. Thank you Pam, Dennis, and Lou. Good times.

Out with Dennis? Can't find him? Look up. He's up there somewhere.

This is Dennis heading up the water tower on the Boblo Ferry Building's roof.

There is something about the old steel water towers that has drawn my attention. I'm not exactly sure what it is.

LE on the rooftop Monday night. This is really a perfect location for this sort of thing because of the light pollution from Detroit.

How long before this one disappears as well? With the recent disappearance of the other water tower, this one's days may be numbered.

There's something about old water towers I like.

Interesting sequence of towers and spires. Also, I'm going to have to get down in the cut to see the graffiti up close.

Looking at this the next day, I think I should have straightened the picture a little. I only had one beer last night, but this is leaning to the left a bit. Oh well :)

Kind of looks like a wall to keep the invaders out of some Orwellian land.
