I haven’t had a chance to capture any fall color photos this year. I’ve just been busy with other activities. So here is a photo I took last year in northern Michigan.
Betsie
Today I have a drone photo for you from the Point Betsie Lighthouse on the Lake Michigan coast in northern Michigan. This spot, among many in Michigan, is beautiful. It sits near the village of Frankfort and Crystal Lake.
Gibson's Sunset
Ready for a great lake sunset photo? I took this one last fall while staying at Gibson’s lake cottage in northern Michigan. Huge thanks to them for letting us use the cottage….
Old Mission Peninsula
Here is a photo I took last fall with my drone from Old Mission Peninsula in northern Michigan. I thought missed the fall colors, but when we got up there it was perfect as you can see.
Mission Point Lighthouse
I took this photo last October during our Michigan trip. You can’t see it from this photo, but Lake Michigan is just over the white fence. Anyway, this is a great spot and has some nice hiking trails through the forest and along the shore.
Abandoned Detroit
Honestly, I don’t remember which location this is around Detroit. I think it is the Fisher Body Plant, but I’m probably wrong. Either way, I like the final outcome of the photo from 2019
Brys Estate Vineyard and Winery
MJ and I visited this nice winery last October. That was probably the trip where we bot got COVID. Fortunately, we ended up okay, but I know 600k+ individuals across the United States (any many more across the world) didn’t make it. My heart goes out to all those families.
Back to the winery…they have a beautiful setting, nice facility and great wine. I captured these rows of grapes as we were driving away.
Mackinac Island Tiger Lily
I captured this photo in someone’s front yard while we walked around the beautiful Mackinac Island last August. I liked the combination of the flowers and the iron fence.
Point Betsie Lighthouse
I finally got around to editing this footage last weekend. I captured this last October in Northern Michigan along the Lake Michigan shore.
Urbex Reflection
Visiting an abandoned building after a heavy rain results in great reflection photos. This one is from an abandoned automotive factory in Detroit.
Detroit Water Tower
This is the abandoned water tower at the Packard Plant in Detroit. This photo was from our 2018 Detroit Urban Exploration photo trip.
By the way, sorry I was absent for a while….
Michigan Autumn
I took this photo last fall during our Michigan wine trail trip. We experienced great fall colors while we were there. This cool little road is actually the exit off one of the vineyards. So many great wineries in the Traverse City area.
Detroit Urbe Reflections
Happy Friday night. Here is a 2018 throw back from a Detroit urban exploration photo weekend. I captured this photo upstairs in the Cadillac Stamping plant after it rained hard. I loved the refection of all the plumbing, metal work and industrial machinery.
Point Betsie
Here is another photo of Point Betsie Lighthouse near Frankfort Michigan. This spot is great. I loved the entire vibe.
South Haven Light
Short post tonight…. Here is an up close view of the South Haven Light via my drone on the Lake Michigan coast.
Cross Village Beach
I love this photo. I love the sky, Lake Michigan water, the beach with the fallen trees, and just the mood of the photo. MJ and I explored this beach following lunch at the Old World Café (by the way, it’s a great restaurant) in Cross Village Michigan. This was our second visit to Cross Village this year. On our first visit, we didn’t drive down to the beach. I’m so glad we did on this 2nd visit.
Burt Lake Sunset
Nice little time-lapse sunset video from Burt Lake Michigan…. I captured this in 2020, during a time when we all need a little sunshine.
Lighthouse Point Betsie
Here is another photo from Point Betsie Lighthouse near Frankfort Michigan. This is a great spot for a quick visit.
Chateau Chantel By Air
Here is a photo from a long, long time ago (last October….COVID time is like dog time). I took this while traveling in Old Mission Peninsula near Traverse City Michigan. There are a ton of vineyards, distilleries and places that make hard cider in this area. Not to mention, it is just beautiful…rolling hills, numerous peninsulas, Lake Michigan as the backdrop, fall color and much more. It was great getting back up there, since it’s probably been over 10 years since our last visit. Much too long.
I took this photo looking down on the Chateau Chantel vineyard/winery. They have an amazing spot, and it is worth a stop. Plus, the wine is great as well.
Wine With A View
I captured this photo on our last trip to Michigan (October 2020). We visited a small handful of vineyards (all outdoor activities only at tables/chair sitting far apart) including this location. This specific winery had this unique view out the back of the building. The vineyard is called Hawthorne Vineyards, which sits on Old Mission Peninsula near Traverse City.
