A Couple From Belle Isle

Just a couple shots from and around Belle Isle.  Sadly, roughly half of the island is shut down because of final preparations for the Grand Prix.

 I'm not sure what this purple tree is but I've been seeing it around many places lately.  I might have to try to get some closer shots.

 A shot of the Detroit Skyline from the fishing pier.

 A slightly closer shot.

I was trying for the dreaded s curve in my picture.
