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).
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.
Went out to Mabry Mill today on the Blue Ridge Parkway in Virginia. Autumn colors peak around the Mill much earlier than the surrounding area. By today, many of the trees in the area had their leaves on the ground. But the reflection in the pond was superb! Coming soon to my galleries will be my Canon photographs, but for now, here is an iPhone14 shot.
Dreaming of the ocean. I've lived my entire life in the landlocked state of Utah, and I very much prefer living at higher elevations – my hometown is at 4,300 ft. and some of my favorite camping spots & hiking trails are in 10,000 ft range – but I wish we had the time and money to visit the ocean more often.
