View-Master Shiping 2006/06/28, photo by “CAVE CANEM”.
CAVE CANEM writes As a child, I was a big fan of those poorly lit, out of focus images in my Viewmaster toy. I used to just love my Boblo Island and 3d Casper Discs, I could stare at them for hours.
This is part of a great set of photos of people at Riverworks in Detroit and he notes that the photo is best viewed from childhood.

Joel Dinda tells stories about the past and present with his photos and also with the words he writes about them. Some, like the above pictures of a freighter in Sault Ste. Marie or Borucki's Lakers, are about Michigan. Others, such as Life Along the Rail and Thursdays: Vietnam 1971 cross state and national borders.
Take a look, I have no doubt you'll find something interesting.
This photo is part of a set that lends itself well to Flickr's slideshow feature.
Blue Water Bridges
Blue Water Bridges, photo by Larry the Biker.
This photo is part of Larry the Biker's set of Michigan Landmarks. He writes:
On the far left is the "Thomas Edison Depot" where the inventor held his first job. Overlooking the depot is the sister spans of the Blue Water Bridge, Port Huron, Michigan.
The Thomas Edison Depot Museum is housed inside the historic Fort Gratiot depot built in 1858 by the Grand Trunk Railway, and is the actual depot that Thomas Edison worked out of as a news butcher between 1859 and 1863.
Edison is one of the twelve inaugural inductees into the Michigan Walk of Fame in Lansing. You can learn more about, Edison, the Walk and the other inductees at Absolute Michigan.
Cyanotype 03 (Cut River Bridge)
Cyanotype 03, photo by DoBSoN 77.
This photo is one of a series of cyanotypes of the Cut River Bridge and other subjects. You have to go see it because there's a VanDyke in there of the understructure that is amazing.
The bridge is located on US-2 and if you have a few extra minutes, be sure to stop and check out the stairs or trail to explore a little. It's really an amazing structure.
According to this letterboxing site:
Cut River Bridge is located in Michigan's Upper Peninsula along US-2 between the towns of Epoufette and Brevort. It's about 25 miles northwest of St. Ignace and the Straits of Mackinac.
The locals call Cut River Bridge "the million dollar bridge over a two-bit creek." Cut River Bridge is a cantilevered steel deck bridge, built in 1946. It spans the tiny Cut River, a surprising 147 feet below. From either end of the bridge, you can descend a short ways and view the immense steel structure that supports the road.

This gorgeous photo of Bear Creek in Petoskey was taken in mid-January of 2006. The road over the bridge you can see is US-31 North and not far behind the photographer is Lake Michigan.

Speaking of snow (of which Michigan has almost none right now), here’s a stunning photo by John Baird of snowier days on the Huron River.Click the photo, click “ALL SIZES” and look at the largest to get the full effect.
When he’s not taking pictures, John is a furniture designer.
