Mackinac Bridge

This aerial photo of Fort Michilimackinac and the Mackinac Bridge was taken on a summer afternoon from southwest of the fort, featuring Mackinac Island and the Round Island Lighthouse in the distance.

The Mackinac Bridge spans the Straits of Mackinac between Mackinaw City and St. Ignace at the northern tip of Michigan’s lower peninsula. The bridge is about 4 miles long and originally opened to traffic in 1957. The Mackinac Bridge Authority’s construction album is worth checking out if you are interested in the history of the bridge.

Canvas, metal, acrylic, and super high-res “epic prints” are available to purchase by clicking on an image or by visiting lakes-of-michigan.com.

This photo was taken on June 10th, 2021 at around 6am from McGulpin Rock facing northeast towards the south tower of the Mackinac Bridge as the sun rose during a partial solar eclipse.

The full moon creates reflections on the water as it begins to set over the Mackinac Bridge. This photo was taken from the western shores of Mackinac Island on June 14th, 2022 as the pre-dawn sun began saturating the sky behind me with shades of orange and red.

This aerial photo of the Old Mackinac Point Lighthouse, which also features the Mackinac Bridge, was taken on a summer morning.
