A cloudy sunrise in Mackinaw City, and the sunlit Mackinac Bridge. The bridge spans the length of the photo, and is not seen in its entirity. A dark treeline can be seen under it, and few motor vehicles, including two white trucks can be seen between the two bridge towers. In the left foreground is a red USCGC Mackinaw (WABG-83),a retired US Coast Guard icebreaker. Fences, stones, grass, dirt and lime green structure of some sort make up the rest of the foreground.

Watch Room View - Old Mackinac Point Lighthouse
Circular windows in the lighthouse tower provide a spectacular view of The Straits. Here, the keepers would stand watch when the light was illuminated at night or in bad weather.

Get low…. It’ll be worth it!!! The puddles of melting ice surrounding the Mackinac bridge provide the coolest reflections.

Before the bridge was built, the only way to cross the straits with vehicles was by using the car ferries. They provided an essential transportation link for motorists traveling between the Peninsulas. #carferries #mackinacbridge #straitsofmackinac northernmichiganhistory.com/michigan-sta...

The melting ice makes for spectacular reflections. Taken the evening of the lunar eclipse... It was cold but worth it!
