This challenge is part of a series of challenges for the Community Live Event initiated by @AdrianLunsong

This photo was taken during Fall on November the 4th. The orange color of the leaves put a beautiful framing in the photo. Many television crews were recording the moment the Christmas tree was lifted into the position. Look closely at the untie tree. Yes, this is the location!

This park is always busy all year long from Summer to Winter. In the Summer, this is the spot where locals, tourists and employees who work in downtown hang out, playing chest or basketball with strangers in their business attire, order lunch from the food trucks and local restaurants or just as simple as sitting and enjoying live performances.

In Winter, there is a Winter Festival, Ice Skating, and many other activities. For more info please click the website " Park ". During this season the whole park will be decorated with Christmas theme.

Here is the updated photo taken on November the 12th.

On November the 20th at 7:30 pm the tree was officially lit up. The short " Video " here was captured on November the 21st to show the true beauty of the park. Keep close eyes on the color changes, that is the ice skating arena.

For you, who is interested in skating, you can visit info " here " on how to skate or how to rent the equipment. Unfortunately, due to the Governor Gretchen Whitmer’s order for a three-week lock down, ice skating arena is not open till December 9.

Please tell me that the mesmerizing lights of the tree and all the colorful lights will not intrigue your desire to visit Campus Martius Park?

On my lunch break I love walking in this place to get my dose of vitamin D. Or in the evening to hang out with family and friends.

Photos and video speaks volume about this park for surrounding businesses. This particular location in the heart of Detroit brings in a great deal of visitors.

I hope you enjoy my photos and video with a little bit of history behind it ?

Me gusto mucho leer tu post @Erna_LaBeau descubrir detalles desconocidos de tu experiencia, casi de un turista viviendo el día a día, detalle de los camiones de comidas o de qué los oficinistas juegan con sus ropa de trabajo, me parecieron muy lindos, fuiste haciendo varias pinceladas de un gran cuadro otoñal del Martius Park .

Estaré más atento a tus post, buen relato , gracias por compartir.

Nota al margen: este post es el que tendría que estar en el favorito de los viernes es muy representativo de los valores de un Local Guides

Saludos desde la Tierra del Fuego , Farid

@FaridTDF thanks and I hope it will be in the next Friday Favorites.

Did you check the video where the ice skating arena changes color? I had to come.back to downtown (which is only 20 mins away from where I live) to take a night photo and video where the tree was lit up to complete my story.

Thanks @Erna_LaBeau for your post on this challenge! The fall colour is very lovely indeed! By the way, could you check your Map link? It’s a link to the Park but not to your photo/review (https://goo.gl/maps/1MGozkfMWBrgcFci7). Thanks!

@AdrianLunsong thanks for catching it, Adrian. I have replaced with the correct link in my post.

@Erna_LaBeau So glad the color orange was saved from the purge under Trump’s rule. Thankfully, Thanksgiving was spared political correctness this year, and Christmas is still here. [ …sigh)
