Nice pic. That's my hometown Windsor, Ont. in the background. Not many landmarks visible in the picture though. The building directly under the nose aerial was Detroit's tallest skyscraper through the 1970s when the misnomered Renaissance Center was built. The two ships on the waterfront immediately to its right are the ferries to the Bob-Lo Island amusement park, built in 1902 and 1910, in service until 1991, which I rode on as a kid. Both are presently under restoration.
