Piece description from the artist
This is one of the photographs from my series on Detroit's "People Mover", monorail at night. While Detroit is severely lacking in public transportation, the People Mover provides easy access to several key areas of the core downtown. This is probably my favorite photograph from the series because of the fog surrounding the Book Tower (the tallest building), it is one of Detroit's many unique, beautiful skyscrapers built in the 1920's.
