Michigan | Old Mackinac Point |

Constructed 1892 as an extension of a fog signal, the lighthouse remained in operation until 1957,
when "Mighty Mac", the Mackinac Bridge was opened and the light no longer necessary.
It was named "Mackinac Point" due to its location at the junction of Lake Michigan and Lake Huron.
Its light came from a fourth order fresnel lens and was visible for about 14 nautical miles (appr. 26 kilometers).

July 2016, Michigan, Mackinaw City

Michigan | Round Island Lighthouse |

Lovely composition and colors.I love how the white fence leads the eye toward the "Mighty Mac" but invites it to linger on details along the way, including the fire hydrant whose red coordinates so attractively with the red roof. What a day for visibility, too.
Compliments,
Steve

Wundervoll wie der Zaun ins Bild führt direkt zur Brücke im HG und man zusätzlich als Hingucker die roten Bereiche des Bildes dann einfängt. LG Ulli

Hallo Matthias,
viele wunderbare Fotos zeigst Du uns und man sieht, wie gern Du in den USA bist.
Ich finde auch, dass dieses Land sehr "fotogen" ist - trotz Trump.
Danke für die Nachricht und viele Grüße und Wünsche für das Neue Jahr.
(Du bist übrigens der erste Kontakt, den ich als neues FC-Mitglied hatte.)

Wonderful shot, crystal clean and crips. I recognized the bridge immediately. A perfect scene that just has to be captured : )
Have a beautiful weekend,
Thomas

Der weiße Zaun, ein gelungener Eckenläufer, weist den Weg, führt den Blick.
In guter Schärfe und schönen Farben ist das hübsche Motiv aufgenommen.
Herzlich grüßt

An excellent shot showing us both the old lighthouse and the new[ish] bridge in the background.
