Horse Team
Mackinac Island sits in Lake Huron just east of the Bridge which connects the larger part of Michigan to the Upper Peninsula. One can ride around the island in about an hour on a bicycle as the trip is only 8 miles. Your other choices for transportation are walking and horse drawn carriage. There are three motor vehicles, all for emergency services. The result is a horde of bikes and a load of horse manure. Our Hotel is right next to Saint Ann’s Church which stays rather busy as this is a favorite location for Michigan Catholics to marry. Quite a few brides were visible Saturday afternoon. The place is touristy to the max. There are many stores making fudge and other sorts of candy. It costs more to rent a $400 bicycle here than it costs to rent a mid size car in most US cities. My favorite watering hole here is the Sea Biscuit which serves a very strong Train Wreck brew on draft in real 20 ounce pints.

Mmmmm, I like the fudge
Thank you. Candy making is big there.
Great photos of Mackinac Island. I went to high school with the carriage driver!
Amazing that you know the gentleman, thank you.
Nice place! what an awesome collection of experiences! Thank you ; ) (clicked it all..)
You are welcome.
Are the bike rentals really $400 ?? I was there once, my dad and I walked around for a bit and left. The bike should power itself, do your laundry and such at that price!
They were $40 to $50 per day. My rented Camry was in that range. They might be cheaper by the week.
Oh crap, that seems extreme! Mackinaw Island is great but as you stated it’s tourist trap city. The bikini biker chic was cool.
That was a reflex grab.
The horses noses look sooooo soft! Your camera (and skill) makes my camera cry. ;oD
Thank you for commenting. The surest way to improve is go out and shoot some more, and only show the good ones. HCB said that.
Amazing photos Ron! I actually drew a breath when the photo of the horses came on. And that fudge looks wicked. I believe you managed to convey the essence of Mackinac Island just with this vibrant collection. Thank you for the lovely pleasure of seeing your work. Sharon
Thank you. The images were picked with the essence in mind.

Love the horses, great up close shoot.
Horses are cool, thank you.
I really enjoy doing B&W more than color most of the time. I liked Fudge Making and Luggage Delivery the most.
Thank you.
