“River of Sky”, Roadside Park, Germfask, Michigan’s Upper Peninsula. October 9, 1998.

My fall in Michigan series. I stopped at a roadside park just south of Germfask Michigan in the Upper Peninsula. I was sitting at a picnic table and I happened to look straight up. I saw a blue river of sky winding it way between red maple leaves. I grabbed my camera and shot straight up.  This is one of my favorite fall color images.

Two years ago in October I was back at the same spot. I wandered through the roadside park looking straight up.  The tree branches have grown a lot.  The leaves had just started to turn and the sky was a flat gray.  I could not find a pretty photo, and certainly nothing like the image from 1998.

If you are ever anywhere near Germfask Michigan, this roadside park is worth a stop in the fall. It is just south of Germfask. And a few miles to the north of Germfask is the Seney National Wildlife Refuge, one of my favorite places on the planet from spring through file. A drive through the refuge loop road is well worth your time.
