Postcards from Michigan

1247.  Leland Michigan
Leland, Michigan blends history of Fishtown and art centers in this quaint village along the shores of Northern Lake Michigan.  This is a favorite vacation spot as well as the gateway to the ??? (obliterated) Islands

1163.  Detroit, Michigan
Spirit of Detroit
When it was dedicated in 1958, the 26-foot Spirit of Detroit sculpture was the largest cast bronze statue since the Renaissance.  The left hand holds a bronze sphere emanating rays to symbolize God, while the right hand holds a family group.  The plaque in front of the sculpture reads, "The artist expresses the concept that God, through the spirit of man is manifested in the family, the noblest human relationship."
Greetings from Michigan, Chris!  My name's Autumn and I live in an area just outside Detroit called Novi.  Although Detroit has a bad rep, it's truly an amazing city.  The people have a spirit that's hard to explain.  Hope you like the Spirit of Detroit.  It definitely represents us well.  Happy Postcrossing from the D!

1016.  Michigan
Hello from Michigan.  I live in a small town near a lake, population under 4,000.  It has been very cold and rainy here.  I fear snow is coming, LOL.  Beth

The Lights are Still Standing

95.  Michigan Lighthouses
Michigan has 3,100 miles of shoreline bordering on four of the five Great Lakes.  It has over 100 lighthouses, more than any other state.
Greetings from Michigan,  I find it amusing that the state with the most lighthouses, world's only floating post office and world's busiest locks has no oceanfront!  I like to vacation near the Straits of Mackinac.  Crossing the 5 mile bridge never gets old.  There are many beaches, campgrounds, springs, trails, and old forts from the fur trade era.  Jeff  Oct. 31, 2015 Halloween
