Big Mac Nightlights
I feel almost compelled to take about 100 pictures of "Big Mac", the Mackinac Bridge, every time I go "Up North". The 5 mile long bridge is an engineering marvel. The roadbed at midpoint is about 200 feet (61 m) above the water, and the water at that point is 295 feet (90m) deep. When it was completed in 1957, it was the world's longest suspension bridge.
The bridge connects the Upper and Lower Peninsulas of Michigan. Previous to it's construction, ferry boats were used to cross the Straits of Mackinac.
Note: Mackinac Bridge and Mackinaw City, although spelled differently are both pronounced "Mack-in-aw".
