Here are some pictures I took of the Saturday night Navy Pier fireworks in Chicago from high up back in June of 2026. 📸🎆🎆🎆 Tonight is the last night to see the Navy Pier fireworks for the summer season. It was such a great time for me shooting the fireworks for the first time ever! I hope many of my Chicago friends have had the opportunity to shoot them again this year and if not, hopefully tonight is the night!
.. and happy Labor Day weekend!

A flashback reel to seeing the Saturday Navy Pier fireworks for the first time ever back in June and being able to get a video of it from such a great angle with some great friends. For you in Chicago, this weekend is the very last chance you'll have of seeing the Navy Pier fireworks.

A throwback Thursday post to last weekend and experiencing the "caves" of Scenic Caves Nature Adventures Park in Blue Mountains, Ontario. These prehistoric deep glacial fissures and rock crevices form part of the highest point of the Niagara Escarpment. These were taken on my Google Pixel 10 Pro phone.

I never dreamed that I would be so fond of the new Hudson's Detroit Complex, but it looks so LIT at night in the heart of downtown Detroit. It is now the more striking building on the city's skyline at day and night. But I still love the old architectural marvels and the RenCen.

Hello, "International" Gordie!!!

The new Gordie Howe International Bridge lit up at night as seen from the SW Detroit side in Delray. It especially pleased me when they included a pedestrian path allowing Canadians and Americans in Windsor/Detroit to cross into each others' nations on foot for the first time in decades. It also really pleases my heart hearing how many pedestrians/bicyclists are taking advantage and being so heartwarming to each other on the journey and enjoying the view, and looking forward to what waits for them ahead when they visit the other country's city and (maybe) more. With this bridge's opening, a Lake Erie circle bicycle tour is now possible since there's already a pedestrian/bicycle path on the Peace Bridge in Fort Erie, Ontario connecting with Buffalo, New York.

Detroit's Broadway at dusk. With such favorites as the Detroit B**r Company, around since 2003, well before Detroit's comeback and Simmons and Clark Jewellers, which has been open for more than a century. In the background to the right, you see the quite new Huntington Bank headquarters. The Detroit B**r Company is one of my go-to places in the D! With their in-house crafted beers and their delicious food! I would highly recommend.

For , I decided to go the nature and wildlife route and share this shot I took of a black-crowned night heron I snapped a couple months ago with my good friend at Lincoln Park Zoo in Chicago.

The People Mover flies by the Hudson Tower and GM headquarters in downtown Detroit. It still feels surreal seeing the 39-year-old People Mover go by this relatively new skyscraper and building. 🚝🏬

There was little sunshine in the forecast for last Saturday in my return to Detroit for the first time in a year. So I made the best of it and got some moody shots around the city's ever-advancing downtown. I stopped at the famous Spirit of Detroit statue, designed by Marshall Fredericks and constructed in 1958. The large bronze statue is found on the West side of the Coleman A. Young Municipal Center, just west of the Renaissance Center. It has become the official symbol of the city.
