The James Scott Memorial Fountain on Belle Isle is one of those places that I revisit year after year to photograph. The details in the fountain are incredible and the view of the city from its’ elevated perch is second to none. It is a place that people from all over the city visit for moments of respite as well as to celebrate milestones. At a time when people seem more isolated and divided than ever this gorgeous sculpture brings them together which makes the monument that much more special.
Beyond the beauty the fountain as an incredible origin story which can be found at Historic Detroit through Dan Austin’s tireless research. The website is my go-to any time a building piques my curiosity, so I suggest bookmarking the page.
Here are some James Scott Memorial Fountain images from September. Enjoy!
