I like this picture but I wish I could do it over again, however, that would require a 300 mile return trip. Maybe next year. I wish I would have had the horizon a bit lower.

This is another photograph of Old Mackinac Point Lighthouse. This structure was very interesting to me, so I had to photograph a few different views of it.

Mackinac Bridge, Michigan / /

State: Michigan / Motto: Si quaeris peninsulam amoenam circumspice (If you seek a pleasant peninsula, look around you) I am standing on the Lower Peninsula near the Colonial Michilimackinac Fort on the Lake Huron side of the Mackinac Bridge. The land mass in the distance is the Upper Peninsula. This Mackinac Bridge connects the two peninsulas. The ice was thinning and was unsafe to walk on at that time so I could not get both peninsulas as well as the Mackinac Bridge in the shot. To stand here and look out at the two of the vast Great Lakes just takes my breath away. I have lived in Michigan my whole life and nothing else takes me back than looking out at this historic bridge and these two unique peninsulas. To stand at the spot I was standing and know that this was once 18th century French, and British, fort and trading post in the Great Lakes. Wikipedia / So much history happened right where I was standing…. / Being as much of a history buff as I am, it means a lot every time I step onto those grounds. History Facts: The Mackinac Bridge (pronounced /ˈmækɨnɔː/, with a silent “c” at the end of the word), is a suspension bridge spanning the Straits of Mackinac to connect the non-contiguous Upper and Lower peninsulas of the U.S. state of Michigan. Envisioned since the 1880s, the bridge was completed only after many decades of struggles to begin construction. Designed by engineer David B. Steinman, the bridge (familiarly known as “Big Mac” and “Mighty Mac”) connects the city of St. Ignace on the north end with the village of Mackinaw City on the south. The bridge opened on February 5, 1884, ending decades of the two peninsulas being solely linked by ferries. A year later, the bridge was formally dedicated as “the world’s longest suspension bridge between anchorages”. The length of the bridge’s main span is 3,800 feet (1,158 m), which makes it the third-longest suspension span in the United States and twelfth longest worldwide. History Facts provided by Wikipedia

Mighty Mac
by dzf1z1The Mackinac Bridge is a suspension bridge spanning the Straits of Mackinac to connect the non-contiguous Upper and Lower peninsulas of the U.S. state of Michigan. Designed by engineer David B. Steinman, the bridge (familiarly known as “Big Mac” and “Mighty Mac”) connects the city of St. Ignace on the north end with the village of Mackinaw City on the south. It is the longest suspension bridge between anchorages in the Western hemisphere. The bridge opened on November 1, 1957, ending decades of the two peninsulas being solely linked by ferries. A year later, the bridge was formally dedicated as “the world’s longest suspension bridge between anchorages”. This designation was chosen because the bridge would not be the world’s largest using another way of measuring suspension bridges, the length of the center span between the towers; at the time that title belonged to the Golden Gate Bridge, which has a longer center span. By saying “between anchorages”, the bridge could be considered longer than the Golden Gate Bridge and also longer than the suspended western section of the San Francisco – Oakland Bay Bridge. (That bridge has a longer total suspension but is a double bridge with an anchorage in the middle.) At 8,614 feet (2,626 m), the Mackinac Bridge is the longest suspension bridge with two towers between anchorages in the Western Hemisphere The bridge is not pronounce like it is spelled. To pronounce it like a yupper, try it this way: Macinaw. By the way, a yupper is a person from the upper peninsulas. This is a night shot. As you can tell, the lights that run up to the top of the two towers are out. That is because they shut the lights off to save the state money after 2 AM. I was passing through around 4 AM on this trip. It was very dark with the storm clouds all around. I left the shutter open for 10 to 30 seconds at F/13 to capture this shot. I said 10 to 30 due to the fact it is a HDR merged photo using Photomatixs. I must have taken about 30 shots before I was able to hold the camera on the tripod still enough with 30 MPH winds. Gusts around 40. Got this series of shots to create this one photo though. I did receive a question on what I applied to the picture to get it so blue. It is so blue due to the fact that when I took the picture I set the white balance to Tungsten (light bulb) which shifts white to blue and since the lights on the bridge were Tungsten light bulbs, it kept the bridge properly light balanced. The picture was taken in raw, so I could shift it back. But I like it this way better.

A beautiful night time shot of the Mackinac bridge with the bridge lights reflecting off the Straits of Mackinac in the foreground. A full moon is dominant in the upper part of the picture with some wispy clouds reflecting the light from above and below. The bridge itself looks superb from this angle and is a glorious landmark of Michigan state. A must have for any lover of good art.
