I don’t know why I drove past Agate Falls in the Upper Peninsula of Michigan, so many times but I am glad I made a point to stop here this time. The Ontonagon River falls 40 feet in a beautiful cascading fashion to give you this beautiful view. The trail to this viewpoint is not for the faint of heart but well worth it.
Some ports are lucky to have more than one lighthouse and Grand Haven, Michigan is one of those lucky places. This beautiful inner lighthouse stands 51 feet tall and was first lit in 1905. I really liked the reflection of the inner lighthouse with the outer lighthouse in the background and of course the beautiful sunset.
Jagged pieces of blue ice fought for space near the Mackinac Bridge last winter during a somewhat rare phenomenon. The ice appears blue because the lack of oxygen in the ice. These blue ice piles were stacked in some places more than 30 feet tall and the ice itself ranged from paper thin to more than 24 inches thick.
