Michigan in Pictures is a blog produced by the folks who made Absolute Michigan.
Pretty much every day that’s not a Sunday, we feature a photo that showcases the state of Michigan – history, landmarks, lighthouses, trails, events and just plain Great Lakes State gorgeousness. We get most of the photos we blog from Flickr, mainly from those folks who share their photos the Absolute Michigan Pool. On occasion, we also check out professional & amateur photographers’ web sites and other spots where the beauty of Michigan is presented.
If you have any suggestions or photos you’d like us to consider, be sure to drop an email to michpics@absolutemichigan.com.
PS: If you want to use the photos you see on Michigan in Pictures, please read this page.
1 Important Note! While Flickr is a really great site that is chock-full of amazing photos, it is also a place where people can upload pictures of anything. Photos posted here will always be family-friendly, but we cannot be responsible for anything else you might find on Flickr.

My heart and spirit will always be in northern Michigan. Bless everyone for these spectacular pictures which bring me back to my forever home.

Glad to help a bit with the northern Michigan pangs, Diane. I’ll try and find a nice “up north” shot for you.

What a lovely site! I moved from Michigan to North Carolina in 1983, and we head north every year to see family. I have wonderful memories of Big Star Lake, Crystal Lake, Lake Charlevoix from family vacations in the fifties. I will continue to browse your photos for more Michigan beauty!

Greetings, I would love to have a mounted picture some of the Lakeshores in Michigan. Lived on the West side for many years and took only visual snapshots. Please help bring a little bit of Michigan to my home in Missouri.
Thanks,
Terry

I’m no professional by any means, however, I recently took some amazing pictures in Traverse City near Grand Traverse Bay and an incredible sunset on Lake St. Clair. I’d like to post them or enter them in a contest, however, I’m clueless as to how to do this. Can someone help me?

Hey Maria, I recommend registering for a free Flickr account.
Then drop me a line (farlane@absolutemichigan.com)

I would be more than happy to help in any way that I can. There are a few photos and postcards of the Grand Traverse and Leelanau areas that I did not use in my 2003 book Traverse City in Vintage Postcards, as well as some that were not used in the 2004 book Petoskey in Vintage Postcards. We live in a beautiful state with a rich and diverse history. If there is any way that I can assist you in showcasing your photos, please let me know.

I was born and raised in Michigan..not too much area there that i have’nt covered. I now live in Wyoming due to the lack of jobs back home. There are some beautiful places here but nothing like Michigan. It’s like walking on the moon here.
June 16, 2009 at 12:09 pm
Oh yeah.. and thank you for the pics…they help.

You’re very welcome – one of the reasons I started Michigan in Pictures was the memory of how much I missed the state while living elsewhere.

I happened upon this site when looking for pictures of the old Tigers’ stadium. Very happy I did! Life led me away from Michigan almost twenty years ago and I find myself slighty homesick/nostalgic for home. This site is a nice comfort. Thanks!

These are great pictures of Michigan’s beauty, which is so underrated! There is this book I found of more of Michigan’s beauty, specifically Detroit, MI. The book has thousands of photos of architecture, including landmarks in Detroit http://detroit138squaremiles.com/julia-reyes-taubmans-day-trip-underrated-detroit-landmarks

I love Michigan. I’ve lived here all my life and while we don’t get to see as much as we’d like, we love what & where we get to go. Thanks for the pictures.
