Small series of photos from a past trip to Michigan. I love this little break wall and lighthouse. The sunsets from this spot are usually amazing.
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.
Red Light
Here is another drone photo of the South Haven Light on Lake Michigan. I took this photo 40 minutes after sunset last October.
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.
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.
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.
South Haven Sunset
Here is another perspective from my time in South Haven Michigan…. I had a good time on this chilly night taking tons of photos as the sunset through dusk and into night…. As you can see, I captured this a little before sunset.
Point Betsie
Here is another photo I took at Point Betsie Lighthouse in northern Michigan. You can see the start of Sleeping Bear Dunes National Lakeshore in the background. If you’ve never been to this area of Michigan, do yourself a favor and go.

South Haven
Here is another photo from our recent trip to Michigan. I spent a long time on this pier trying to capture a sunset and the blue hour afterward. This was one of the last photos I took that night before calling it good. I don’t know the person with the red jacket, but I appreciate them providing the role of model.

South Haven Light
I know….another Michigan photo. This one is from South Haven Michigan. MJ was amazing and sat out in the cold for over an hour waiting for me to capture sunset and post-sunset photos of this light at the end of the pier. I got this one with the drone from a perspective not normally seen.
