Detroit - Joe Louis Arena

I went downtown last night to the Redwings game. The river was beatifully smooth so the reflections of the Ambassador Bridge to Canada were lovely. The Joe Louis Arena, where the Redwings play, is in a lovely position, but the steps up the entrance are incredibly steep because the arena was built in such a tight position down by the river!
I only took my small 18-55 mm kit lens, because lenses over 80 mm are not allowed in the arena unfortunately, so I could not take my lovely 28-135 with Image Stabilisation, so rested my camera on a wall to take this and am quite pleased with the result!

nicely done! I've been up there a couple times for the Auto Show in January. We usually park at that arena's lot, and walk over to the exhibition hall.
