The Old Mackinac Point Lighthouse with the Mackinac Bridge in the background. Ther lighthouse has a round tower with a black lantern. There is a black railing around it. The top of it is seen behind the lighthouse, a two-story keeper's quarters made of Cream City brick. There are three chimneys. On the left side of the house there are two windows on each floor and a hedge that crosses that portion of the house. A door and window are visible on the right side of the house. The building has a red roof and a red awning above the door. In the photo much of the right side of the building is covered behind a tree. The foreground of the photo shows a well-manicured green lawn, a tree. and sidewalks. Just behind the house and to the right there are people behind a white picket fence looking out toward the Straits of Mackinac in the background, with the Mackinac Bridge crossing the straits. The bridge is a long suspension bridge with two tall white towers. It arches a bit between the two towers. Above everything is a light blue sky with several white clouds.

Happy Labor Day to those crossing the Mackinac Bridge
Webcam image from MackinacBridge dot org. It's the Mackinac Bridge, connecting Michigan's lower and upper peninsulas, with a bunch of people on the bridge. Every labor day, the bridge closes to traffic for a few hours, and people are allowed to walk the bridge.
