Piece description from the artist
This bridge, originally know as the George Washington Bridge and later renamed the Douglas MacArthur Bridge, links mainland Detroit with Belle Isle across the Detroit River. I captured this image on a bitter cold and windy day in January. When I come here, I feel peace and calm even though the busy activity of a major city is nearby.
