  1. There's so much wildfire smoke at the Straits of Mackinac that you can't see the entire Mackinac Bridge from St. Ignace in Michigan's Upper Peninsula or Mackinaw City in the Lower Peninsula.

  3. Well, this is the Mackinac Bridge this morning. Just got a text from my SIL and she said there is ash falling from the sky up there. Guess I am glad to be in Higgins Lake today rather than in the UP. We do have an air quality alert, but it doesn't look like this outside.

  5. A different perspective of the Mackinac Bridge today. Standing beneath it in the fog, the steel seemed to disappear into the mist while the gentle waves lapped at the shore. A quiet moment in a place that has always felt like home.

  7. Today’s small moment.

    This photograph marks the last time Dad and I crossed into Michigan’s Upper Peninsula together, driving north while my brother was in the hospital. We didn’t know then that he would die a couple of weeks later, or that this trip would later mark the point between life before my brother’s death and everything that came shortly thereafter.

    We were together, sharing the same road and the same concern. I don’t usually have the chance to slow down like this, but traffic coming off the Mackinac Bridge that day gave me the pause I needed to notice it—and to take the photo.

  9. Today’s small moment - driving across the Mackinac Bridge in early January a couple years ago. Even with voice control, I didn’t get many photos as it required more concentration as the bridge deck was slick and snow covered. Winds were brisk. The view was incredible. It’s occurred to me that I wouldn’t mind being an escort driver for folks who don’t like driving across the bridge.

  11. Today's small moment - When driving over the Mackinac Bridge, I love how the second tower appears perfectly framed within the first.

    On a cloudy day like this, it’s almost hard to believe we’re crossing a body of water at all—it feels higher than it is, with nothing but clouds and a faint glimpse of the horizon in view.

    I’ll never get tired of crossing the Mackinac Bridge, whether I’m heading north to the Upper Peninsula or south to the Lower Peninsula.

  13. Today's Small Moment - looking back on this day in 2023 when I was driving from Virginia to Michigan to bring dad to live with us. As always, I have to stop at one (or both) of the parks on either end of the Bridge. This shot is from the Colonial Michilimackinac Historic State Park in Mackinaw City in Michigan's Lower Peninsula.

    With the snow on the shoreline and the view through the trees, this is one of my favorite views of the Mighty Mac.

    This will be uploaded to my gallery at BeautifulSunPhotography.com soon.

  15. Whenever I am driving to or from Michigan’s Upper Peninsula, it’s mandatory for me to go to one (sometimes both!) of the bridge view parks. On our way south today, I stopped at the park near Old Mackinac Point Lighthouse in the Lower Peninsula.

  17. 1. Found that if I shorten a video to 5 seconds, I can share it here!
    2. The sound of the Great Lakes.
    3. The view of the Mackinac (pronounced Mack-in-aw) Bridge. The bridge connects Michigan’s Upper and Lower Peninsulas. This view is from St Ignace in the Upper Peninsula.

  19. To get past the hurt and trauma of the day, I’m trying to post something every day that makes me smile or laugh. I’m currently in the middle of a serious family medical emergency that has taken me back to my home state of Michigan. I’m looking for any and all things, big or small, that will take my mind off the life and death circumstances here.

    I like to fall back to familiar views and here is today’s piece - a view of the Mackinac Bridge from Bridge View Park in Michigan’s Upper Peninsula. A lake freighter had just passed under the bridge when we arrived.

    Can’t seem to imbed the alt text to the video, so here it is:
    Alt text: A video with the sound of waves and a view of the Mackinac Bridge at sunrise. The sky is clear and a muted purple blue with a tinge of orange at the horizon. An empty beach and clumps of grass are in the foreground.

  23. Discover the breathtaking view of the Mackinac Bridge from Bridge View Park in St. Ignace, Michigan. This park is a must-visit every time I cross the Mighty Mac. Don't miss out on the opportunity to own prints and more of this marvelous artwork available in my gallery.

  25. Missing my home state of Michigan these days. I made 3 roundtrip road trips to and from Michigan in 2022, driving over the Mackinac Bridge each time. Using my dashboard mount for my iPhone14 and hands-free voice commands to get the shots, I got some fantastic shots while crossing. I'm approaching the first tower and you can see the second tower up ahead.

    The length of the main span (between the 2 main towers) of this suspension bridge is 3,800 feet (1,158 meters).

  27. Going through cell phone photos from a trip to northern Michigan last summer and this one caught my eye. The clouds were mesmerizing and there was very little traffic on the Mackinac Bridge. I was heading north to the Upper Peninsula. I love crossing the Mighty Mac and have done so in all kinds of weather. Since I was driving, I had my phone mounted on the dash and used voice commands to get each shot, hands-free and safely.

    According to the American Society of Civil Engineers, at 8,614 feet (2,626 m), the Mackinac Bridge is still the longest suspension bridge between anchorages in the Western Hemisphere.

  29. Getting this photo was a major adventure. I managed to throw my electrolytes out of whack during the day while I was scouting it, so I was awake and sick much of the night. Somewhere in there I was bitten by a wolf spider that climbed up my pant leg, which bite became infected. That ultimately led to four days of IV antibiotics.

    Anyway, you can purchase a souvenir of my big photographic adventure and relive the glory. Spider bites available separately.

  30. This is the view from under the Mackinac Bridge. The "Mighty Mac" is a suspension bridge that links Michigan's Upper and Lower Peninsula. It spans the Straits of Mackinac, a body of water that connects two of the Great Lakes - Lake Michigan and Lake Huron. The Bridge opened in 1957.

  32. An #introduction is in order with the arrival of new people! I've been here on SFBA.social since November 2022 but not active until now. I feel fortunate to have to have found my home on Mastodon so quickly -- as one of the SFBA admins says - they are bringing social back into social media. And that's just perfect for me!

    I'm a professional landscape photographer, but in addition to all you see in my bio, I've got all sorts of other interests.

    Be curious what happens. I did not use a bunch of informational bots when I was on Twitter however there was one that I do miss. It's actually for the Mackinac Bridge here in Michigan. The bridge going from the lower peninsula to the upper peninsula or vice versa. It's basically the only way to get across.

    They always have really great notifications on weather related issues that can slow traffic on the bridge or even if the bridge was closed.

    I had reached out months ago to see if they were going to support Mastodon and they said they could not yet because they are bound to follow the State of Michigan social media policies and mastodon is not on that approved list.

    Hoping that is going to be "fixed" soon.

  36. Currently crossing the Mackinac bridge to enter the UP.

    Then we just have to drive across to the western side of the UP.
