“AINT NO PLACE LIKE MOTOWN . . . “

___

A brief note on the photographs presented here. I was on my way home having completed my shift, Christmas Day (overnights) at the Detroit Medical Center. Going west on W. Grand Boulevard off the Lodge Fwy., I was drawn immediately to the beautifully decorated window at the Motown Museum. Its golden radiance stood out lit brightly from the boulevard under intense grey, wintry skies, much evident that very morning. WOW! I had to stop. Cut a quick U-turn around the center medium. Parked the car. Jumped out with my LG4 in hand to capture the view standing there right before me. Eerily silent, traffic, nowhere in sight. Nobody around but I. After all this was Christmas morning. “Not a creature was stirring . . . ” . . . a most beautiful sight.

On this Motown Monday, I thought I’d share a few of these Motown Museum holiday images I captured on Christmas Day, 2016, with you today. As did I, hope you’ll enjoy these captivating views.
