Visitor Mail - Mackinac Bridge

Hi everybody!

2007 marks two significant milestones for Michigan! Picture Michigan turns 10 years old. And hopefully this landmark occasion does not overshadow the 50 years of the Mackinac Bridge.

Over the past ten years, Picture Michigan has received a constant flow of email from visitors and fans from around the globe. Today, we feature an email from Indiana, a question about the Picture Michigan February calendar Desktop Wallpaper, which features the Mackinac Bridge.

On your February picture you feature the "Mighty Mac". I have often wondered, are you looking north or south when you took this picture. Thanks.



This shot is facing north from Mackinaw City in front of the Historic Mackinac Point Lighthouse.

There are two popular viewing areas where tourists and locals take in the sites and views of the Bridge. From the Mackinaw City side, the Bridge is to the left. From St. Ignace, looking south, the Bridge is also to the left. From either side, the persective is similar.

Here are some other views of The Mackinac Bridge. Happy Birthday.
