Detroit

This unique portrait location is unlike most vantage points in the city. The below-street-level positioning features a quality backdrop of one of Detroit's most famous skyscrapers — without having to go to the top of a building for a solid view.

How to get there

The image was taken along a ramp on Monroe Street in downtown Detroit. I stood facing southwest to get this view of the city and Penobscot Building. The ramp actually leads to an underground parking facility, so you can park your car in the lot below and then walk up the ramp to take this photo. To find the exact spot where I stood, just reference the GPS coordinates.
