ZAANDAM - Riley was a British motorcar and bicycle manufacturer from 1890. Riley became part of the Nuffield Organisation in 1938 and was merged into the British Leyland Motor Corporation in 1968. In July 1969 British Leyland announced the immediate end of Riley production, although 1969 was a difficult year for the UK auto industry and many cars from Riley's inventory may have been first registered in 1970. Today, the Riley trademark is owned by BMW.
Note!
The Bruynzeel Factory Hall was demolished in May 2016.

The Detroit Industry Murals are a series of frescoes by the Mexican artist Diego Rivera, consisting of twenty-seven panels depicting industry at the Ford Motor Company and in Detroit.
Detroit is the largest and most populous city in the U.S. state of Michigan, the largest U.S. city on the United States–Canada border, and the seat of Wayne County. The municipality of Detroit had a 2019 estimated population of 670,031, making it the 23rd-most populous city in the United States. The metropolitan area, known as Metro Detroit, is home to 4.3 million people, making it the second-largest in the Midwest after the Chicago metropolitan area. Regarded as a major cultural center, Detroit is known for its contributions to music and as a repository for art, architecture and design.
Detroit is a major port on the Detroit River, one of the four major straits that connect the Great Lakes system to the Saint Lawrence Seaway. The Detroit Metropolitan Airport is among the most important hubs in the United States. The City of Detroit anchors the second-largest regional economy in the Midwest, behind Chicago and ahead of Minneapolis–Saint Paul, and the 13th-largest in the United States. Detroit and its neighboring Canadian city Windsor are connected through a highway tunnel, railway tunnel, and the Ambassador Bridge, which is the second busiest international crossing in North America, after San Diego–Tijuana. Detroit is best known as the center of the U.S. automobile industry, and the "Big Three" auto manufacturers General Motors, Ford, and Fiat Chrysler are all headquartered in Metro Detroit.
In 1701, Antoine de la Mothe Cadillac founded Fort Pontchartrain du Détroit, the future city of Detroit. During the 19th century, it became an important industrial hub at the center of the Great Lakes region. The city became the 4th-largest in the nation in 1920, after only New York City, Chicago and Philadelphia with the influence of the booming auto industry. With expansion of the auto industry in the early 20th century, the city and its suburbs experienced rapid growth, and by the 1940s, the city remained as the fourth-largest in the country. However, due to industrial restructuring, the loss of jobs in the auto industry, and rapid suburbanization, Detroit lost considerable population from the late 20th century to the present. Since reaching a peak of 1.85 million at the 1950 census, Detroit's population has declined by more than 60 percent. In 2013, Detroit became the largest U.S. city to file for bankruptcy, which it successfully exited in December 2014, when the city government regained control of Detroit's finances.
Detroit's diverse culture has had both local and international influence, particularly in music, with the city giving rise to the genres of Motown and techno, and playing an important role in the development of jazz, hip-hop, rock, and punk music. The rapid growth of Detroit in its boom years resulted in a globally unique stock of architectural monuments and historic places. Since the 2000s conservation efforts have managed to save many architectural pieces and achieved several large-scale revitalizations, including the restoration of several historic theatres and entertainment venues, high-rise renovations, new sports stadiums, and a riverfront revitalization project. More recently, the population of Downtown Detroit, Midtown Detroit, and various other neighborhoods has increased. An increasingly popular tourist destination, Detroit receives 19 million visitors per year.] In 2015, Detroit was named a "City of Design" by UNESCO, the first U.S. city to receive that designation.

This is the memorable and ironic view that greets every motorist traveling south on I-75 towards downtown. Thousands of these motorists are surely suburban GM workers on their way to work every day, and the irony of this chance alignment is hopefully not lost on them. In the background, the Renaissance Center, Detroit's tallest building and GM World Headquarters. In the foreground, St. Josaphat, a 105-year old still-functioning relic from Detroit's heyday. Detroit is the Motor City, but the sins committed here cannot be forgotten or forgiven--from the hundreds of murders every year to the construction of a freeway system that divided and destroyed vibrant and working neighborhoods. Hopefully this image will one day have different associations.
For me, it is a powerful view that is quintessentially Detroit. I'm sure it's been photographed hundreds of times, but the balance and contrast between Detroit's largest and most infamous glass skyscraper, a struggling community church, and the freeway that cut a swath across the city and acted as a runway for white flighters provides me with endless fascination. I hope you will find it equally stimulating.

Early 1940s Lebaron, I believe.
Taken at the Walter P. Chrysler's Museum, at the Chrysler's (FCA's) Headquarters in Auburn Hills, Michigan. Chrysler was acquired by Fiat, and the Fiat CEO became the FCA CEO. I guess he can't stand it to see an American icon, inventor, and a legend being honored with a museum. So he has now made the decision to close the museum and send all its contents to storage. He should be deported :-) ... Lens: Canon EF 16-35mm f/2.8 L.
Light conditions are simply photography nightmare. A combination of Fluorescent (neon) lights, incandescent lights, flood lights, large windows daylight, etc.
The museum is a 3-story building, with lots, and lots, and lots of beautiful vehicles to see. It was also extremely crowded on that weekend because people heard that it was going to be closed for good.
The collection has vehicle models dating back as far as 1902.
All images were taken hand-held; no tripods allowed.
I did the best I could under the circumstances.
Editing almost one thousand images will take a lot of time, but only a select few will be uploaded here anyway.

An interior view of the home of the world's first assembly line, Henry Ford's Model T Plant (1910) in Highland Park, Michigan.
In an effort to clear up some confusion about how i got to photograph this place, I went as part of a film scout for an upcoming feature film project with permission from all the proper authorities. Do NOT attempt to enter or photograph this building without permission, and do NOT use, publish, or blog this photo without express written permission from Ford Motor Company, Woodward-Manchester Co. LLC, and myself.

Some things are just perfect. Many thanks to Joel Thurtell and Florent Tillon, and my Heliopan circular polarizer.
Please take a look: take a journey up the River Rouge, where the history of the city of Detroit is written into its surreal landscape & waters. These images offer views rarely seen because photography & exploration are prohibited and heavily-enforced in the industrial districts surrounding the river. They were taken from the public waters of the Rouge & Detroit rivers with the permission of the Coast Guard. Be warned when attempting to photograph the Rouge or Zug Island from land.
The River Rouge is a place where industry & wildlife clash in a stunning juxtaposition. Turkey vultures pick at the remains of dead fish along the concrete banks of the river. Just beyond the concrete, the riverbanks sport a narrow band of cattails or grasses, where Canadian geese and blue heron spend their time. Sparrows nest in cocoon nests tucked away between the steel beams of freeway overpasses. Beyond that, enormous factories loom like whales or ships, and barges pushed from as far as Halifax and Muskegon cut through the 180-foot wide waters.

5:35 AM view of Detroit stretching from the old Cass Tech High School to the industrialized riverfront near Delray and River Rouge. The approach for the Ambassador Bridge spans the center of the image. The bright light on the far right is actually a huge flame exhaust for the burners at the steel foundry at Zug Island. Cass Tech looks like some old fortress wall to me.

Packard Motor Car Company Plant
Detroit, Michigan
A retro 1971 ad for Shinjin pick-ups, touting their ability to haul "4 fridges," "2 pianos," or "40 apple crates" or "40 beer (!) crates"
Close to the back end of the abandoned Packard Motor Car Company Plant, a portion of the roof is caved in. I've heard this is actually the result of an illegal demolition attempt and has nothing to do with the structural integrity of the building, which could probably survive an atom bomb blast it's so sturdy, honestly. After a few days spent knocking down just a few hundred square feet of the historic half-mile-long-and-10-story-high complex, they gave up, realizing the task would be far too monumental to continue.

This is the site of the first state capitol in the state of Michigan. It is one of my favorite places downtown, despite the seedy characters that populate the park benches and bus stops. Surrounded on all sides by beautiful art deco skyscrapers, this bustling corner of the city has astonishingly stayed away from the wrecking ball.
