  • One of the truly spectacular rivers in the Midwest, the Big Manistee River remains pristine and is beautiful in the autumn.
    GL5DM2_13.10.08_3118cr2HR.JPG
  • When I was a kid, Red Bridge, which carries Coates Highway over the Big Manistee River in Manistee County, Michigan, was actually "red". It was a bridge with character, having a red-painted, steel structure, and a deck made of hardwood planks that made impressive (i.e. - frightening) noises when driven on. More than 25 years ago, the old bridge was replaced with a new steel and concrete structure. Today, there's not a speck of red on it, but the name remains. So does the incredible beauty of the river. I captured this upstream-facing image while standing on the bridge's approach.

  • The Big Manistee River is a winding river, which folds back on itself over and over. Over time, the course of the river changes due to bank erosion, and the former course is often converted into an amazingly diverse wetland. This bayou, created by one of those "course-changes", has existed for as long as I can remember. It teems with every imaginable kind of aquatic and bird life. When I was a kid, in the 1960s, my family used to go fishing here. Such great memories!!

  • This is one of the finest vantage points for the Big Manistee River that I know of, on a rugged stretch of trail that my friends and I have long referred to as the "14 mile two-track". This particular river configuration will likely change, as bank erosion, a completely natural process, eventually breaches the peninsula that creates today's "big bend". When that happens, the big bend will enter a new evolutionary chapter, perhaps becoming a richly diverse wetland. Whatever happens, the forces of nature are at work, constantly redefining the river's path.

  • Swans and many other water birds enjoy the backwater bayous that exist upstream from Hodenpyl Dam on the Manistee River in Wexford County, Michigan.

  • The Manistee River in Michigan's Wexford County is so beautiful in autumn that it could occupy a photographer for weeks. This pond, north of Mesick, is quite a study in color, texture, and reflection.

  • Such an amazing variety of deciduous trees and conifers line both sides of the Big Manistee River, providing a layering of colors and textures, further enhanced by the sky on this cloudy October day.

  • This stand of pine trees in the Manistee National Forest reaches higher and higher, toward the sun.

  • This pond north of Mesick Michigan is actually an extension of the Manistee River, and explodes with color in autumn.

  • Another of the idyllic backwater ponds that lie upstream of Hodenpyl Dam near the town of Mesick, Michigan. Views such as this are just one of the reasons for the Manistee River's popularity with canoeists and kayakers.

  • An interesting image that illustrates the diversity of coniferous and deciduous forest textures that exist in the Manistee National Forest in northern Lower Michigan.
    2_IMG_5643cs2HR.jpg
  • Trees that grow at the water's edge often topple into the Manistee River's backwater bayous and ponds, especially when spring's high water softens the banks. This old tree contrasts rather starkly against the lush background foliage.

  • This is one of several ponds that exist upstream from Hodenpyl Dam on the Manistee River. These ponds are beautiful, and support an array of animal and plant life. Hodenpyl Dam has existed since the 1920's.

  • These are the final images of my late father's forest home in northern Lower Michigan, as it existed on October 12, 2013, a little over a year after his passing. They are rather deliberately zoomed-out, and stark, but that is how the place felt to me on that final visit, so that is how I captured these images. Always a place of laughter and family activities, going back to the early 1970s, the place, while peaceful and beautiful on that day, emanated a shrieking silence, not unlike that which I experience when I view these images, now. This small collection of images is a final, physical remembrance of a place, only, and certainly not of the wonderful things that happened here, during the years of my parents' and grandparents' lives. It was important, though, to record these for my children, who, for now, haven't the emotional capacity to return here, and for my brothers ..... and for me.
