Marquette

Winter in Michigan. The Upper Peninsula is a forested region in Michigan bordering 3 of the Great Lakes and extending outward from Wisconsin. It’s connected to Michigan’s Lower Peninsula by the roughly 5-miles-long Mackinac Bridge, which spans the Straits of Mackinac. Sandwiched between the 2 peninsulas is Mackinac Island, a car-free vacation destination with the iconic 1887 Grand Hotel and the Victorian-era Fort Mackinac.

Last morning in Marquette Michigan, what a beautiful day to graduate from Northern Michigan University with my BFA 🤓
Up in the northwest UP of Michigan the granite lined cliffs get weathered away and change colors over the years!

The room was clean quiet and comfortable. I slept great after a long drive. Breakfast was nice although no coffee. I know there’s coffee in the room but I don’t use room coffee makers. Overall I was very satisfied and pleased to stay there. I will stay there again.

My favorite picture. I woke up at 4am to catch the epic contrast of the pink sunrise and leftover blue hour. I am a student in Marquette and I am stuck between staying in University and pursuing travel photography. This trip would give me the confidence and help me build my portfolio so I am able to make my decision! Thanks for reading Brendan! #BvSCrete
