Gusty, tempestuous clouds drew ArchBlogger, camera clutched in hand, towards the New Center and downtown on Saturday. He spent a good long time with the Fisher Building, and then camped in his car at Cass and Charlotte, where there's a particularly good vista on the towers along the river.
The fruits of that labor follow below -- at least for now, mostly without comment.

The old General Motors Building, now State of Michigan offices since GM's move to Renaissance Center years ago.

The recently renovated Westin Book-Cadillac Hotel catches a sliver of pre-sunset light. The Book Building looms left, while the Penobscot Building pokes its head above the hotel.
Cass & Charlotte.

Downtown from John R just north of the stadiums. The orange towers are, from left, the Guardian Building and the David Stott Building.
