Scott has challenged us to show what winter means to us. Since I live in Michigan I suppose you are expecting snowy photos. But we don’t always have snow where I live near Detroit. Maybe you expect to see wide expanses of frozen lake. But our lakes don’t always freeze either. So what does happen each year at the height of winter here? Well, the North American International Auto Show happens in January, here in Detroit, every single year. Even in the bad years the show went on. but you can tell the auto industry is on its way back by the size of the show this year. (Click on the photos to see the detail.)
Especially beautiful were some of the concept cars…
…and the extraordinarily expensive cars…
…and today’s version of muscle cars.
So many cars, so many choices. It’s hard to choose! How about one of each?!

Oh Jeff would love to be there! Isn’t it amazing how a hunk of metal can draw our eye and make us swoon?

Mommy went to a car show a long time ago. She was amazed at some of the displays. Like how they have a car spinning around on a platform like on a Carousel. And they had a jeep up on a fake rock — like it was climbing a mountain. Not sure if your car show had any displays like this — but that’s all Mommy seemed to remember when she went that one year.

Love your interpretation Dawn! I would definitely be showing frozen snowscapes, but I like how your mind went to your winter constant 🙂

How original and creative ! A great post, Scott will love it. My Dad would love these photos too, he had been working for the GM many years ago, when cars were slightly bigger 😉 quite a change and a beautiful one too. Well done, Dawn !

They always do a feature story from this car show on TV news, and I’ve always wanted to go and see the new models for myself. Thanks for bringing them to me!
