I was shocked to see a boat coming in the other day on the way to recyclables. So I sat there and waited and sure enough it was the Emerald Isle from the island. The boat has been stuck over there because Lake Michigan has been so rough since its last trip. They had an opening where the waters were not so rough and they came back and they are anchored in our harbor for the winter now. They need some engine work done and it is more accessible for them to work on the engines here then fly people over to the island.
Our first day trip from St. Ignace, Michigan started out foggy, but soon the sun burned off the fog and the perfect autumn day appeared.
Michigan , for many years ours summers were spent visiting family in Grand Haven, or Grand Heaven as our kids called it. Missing the loved ones who have gone home, and hoping to visit that beautiful area again. Look back on old photos ,and wondering how I missed this one
This one is well off the beaten path at the southernmost point on the Keweenaw. It was a bed & breakfast, but Google lists it as permanently closed. There were several workers there fixing the place up.
What a beautiful architectural I have seen.
It's Three Oaks Mansion in Michigan; built in 1877. I originally thought it was an abandoned, but read somewhere stated someone still live in that house. That's all info I got.

In the distance on the left is the iconic cooling tower of the NIPSCO Michigan City Generating Station. It serves the purpose of cooling water discharged from the plant before it is released into Lake Michigan. The plant is currently expected to be shut down in 2028.

Lake Michigan has a surface area of 22,404 sq.mi (58,026 km2); (13,237 square miles, 34,284 km2 lying in Michigan state, 7,358 square miles, 19,056 km2 in Wisconsin, 234 square miles, 606 km2 in Indiana, & 1,576 square miles, 4,079 km2 in Illinois) making it the largest lake entirely within one country by surface area (Lake Baikal, in Russia, is larger by water volume), and the fifth-largest lake in the world. It is the larger half of Lake Michigan–Huron, which is the largest body of fresh water in the world. It is 307 miles (494 km) long by 118 miles (190 km) wide with a shoreline 1,640 miles (2,640 km) long.
The lake's average depth is 46 fathoms 3 feet (279 ft; 85 m), while its greatest depth is 153 fathoms 5 feet (923 ft; 281 m). It contains a volume of 1,180 cubic miles (4,918 km³) of water. Green Bay in the northwest is its largest bay. Grand Traverse Bay in its northeast is another large bay. Its deepest region, which lies in its northern-half, is called Chippewa Basin (named after prehistoric Lake Chippewa) and is separated from South Chippewa Basin, by a relatively shallower area called the Mid Lake Plateau.

While making a rare weekend daylight run back from Howell OSTN comes back north with a nice 5-unit lash up seen nowhere else. The cool thing with these GP35 is they’re riding on old Alco trucks from the days they were built for the Ann Arbor.
Remember the Michigan Northern (MIGN)? The pike operated out of Cadillac, Michigan, with a rag-tag collection of diesels. I spent an interesting day with them on May 27, 1978. The object of the visit was to film their two ex-Delaware & Hudson, exx-NYC Baldwin "Sharks." Shark 1205 and sister 1216 will go out later in the day, but right now, they are seeing some light maintenance. Alco RS-2 1501 is on the left.
The sharks still exist, locked up undercover on another Michigan shortline. Hopefully, they might run again someday.
The MIGN closed in June 1987, and all remaining MIGN lines at that time are now operated by the Great Lakes Central.
A fiery sunset beyond Lake Michigan's shelf at its zenith
Would've loved to have stayed here well past sunset but ended up in the stream about ten minutes after this shot. Left my setup to grab a bazooka from my pack and a powerful gust of wind knocked my set up over. After rushing over to check for damages (everything was fine), I saw my mitten floating in the water along the far bank. Thought I could leap in and grab it while getting only one leg wet, but punched though on the push-off and tumbled in. Had no choice but to pack up posthaste and hustle back to the truck. Drove home wearing only underwear and house slippers.
I was met with curiosity on the return home.
Winter perfection ❄️
This striking red barn stands out beautifully against the snowy landscape in Fife Lake, Michigan. I captured this same barn a few years ago during autumn and it still looks fantastic! The owners are definitely keeping it well-maintained, and absolutely exudes rustic charm. ❤️
