Manhattanites may have Central Park and San Franciscans the Golden Gate Park, but Detroit residents have their beloved Belle Isle Park.
Photographer Amy Sacka has documented the beloved city park off the Detroit River for decades, capturing kids playing, teens swimming, friends celebrating, and folks relaxing. Several years ago, she left a notebook in a wooden box with a prompt for park-goers to write a love letter to Belle Isle. Hundreds responded. Here are the cherished memories that are the backdrop to many Detroit lives.

Photographer and writer Thomas J. Abercrombie traveled all over the world on assignment for National Geographic, including to Afghanistan in the late β60s. Over three months, he trekked 20,000 miles by Land Rover, horse, and yakβfrom the Desert of Death in the south to the snowy Pamir Mountains in the north. As evocative as Abercrombieβs writing was, the images from this feature made it one of the most iconic in the magazineβs history. Thanks to our new monthly series From the Vault, itβs online for the first time. |
