After visiting the River Raisin National Battlefield Park, as shown in my earlier post, I continued further into Monroe, Michigan. Near the city's center is this statue of General George Armstrong Custer, who grew up in Monroe.
As it turns out, some people don't like this statute. Even so, I decided to take another shot, this one from the opposite side.
Across Elm Avenue from the statue and in front of a church is this monument to veterans of the Spanish American War.
Also in front of the church is this monument commemorating the first time when the American flag was raised in Michigan. This was at Frenchtown, which is now Monroe.
Also near the statue, the church, and these monuments is a bridge over the River Raisin, which becomes today's out-of-focus shot. For one thing, the bridge's greenish blue color blends in too well with the green of the nearby trees. But you can still see that it spans the river.
Fortunately, I decided to get another shot of the bridge, from much closer.
This concludes my second visit to Michigan, the first coming in August 2016 when I went to Hell. You can search this blog's archives for that trip.
