Here’s a photo of Comerica Park as seen from the top of the Mezzanine, one of many great photos in the Detroit Tigers pool on Flickr.
Paul Hitz started the pool just a few weeks ago and there’s already almost 300 photos over everything from opening day to back in the day to the glory days.

rain off the hat, photo by Boston Fan in Michigan.
Boston Fan in Michigan says that you might have to see it large, but you can actually see raindrops spanging off the band hat here.
This photo is part of a set from Saturday’s UM v CMU game and on her excellent Blue Cats and Red Sox blog, Sam says that the band helped keep the fans at the Big House from mutinying during a 45 minute rain delay.
Note that she also talks about the Lions game so of course there is mild profanity.

The annual Michigan State Fair continues through September 4. The state fairgrounds are located in southeast Michigan at the corner of Eight Mile Road and Woodward Avenue in Detroit – two miles from I-75, three miles from I-696, and eight miles from I-94.
The motion and color in the photo above is incredible but this one really captures the overall vibe of the Fair.
The Michigan Renaissance Festival is an annual affair held on weekends in Holly (between Detroit & Flint). It features full contact armored jousting, almost 200 artisans and tons of costumed entertainers of all kinds.
You can visit the Michigan Renaissance Festival web site for more information (click the photo above to jump straight to their photo gallery), click for a ton of photos from Flickr and check out Michigan Renaissance Faires and Festivals on Absolute Michigan.

This photo of the Hotel Eddystone serves as the poster for Bobby Alcott’s show tomorrow night (Friday, Aug 18) at Karras Bros. Tavern in Detroit. The show is presented by Exposure.Detroit, a Motor City based photographer’s group that is part of the larger Exposure.Network.
You can get all the show details by clicking the poster below and I also encourage you to check out this interview with Bobby and this set of photos of the Hotel Eddystone.

Fantastic Four Wallpaper, originally uploaded by Natalie.
Detroit Pistons fans know that there’s one place to go for all your Piston visuals: Need4Sheed.
Natalie, the site’s developer, makes great Piston wallpaper, screensavers and icons and also digs up cool videos pretty much daily like this All Star pregame bit. One of my favorites is this clip of Piston rookie Amir Johnson’s monster “hello NBA” windmill jam.
artdaddy wonders why Chauncey Billups rates a banner. 15 points, 7 dimes, helped lead comeback in 122-120 victory maybe??
