Photo Friday: Baker Woodlot — Michigan State University

Photo Fridays have been hijacked by the leafers!  We kicked things off  but during this fall we’ll be posting reader submitted pictures of brilliant autumn colors throughout the Great Lakes region. To submit an image to Great Lakes Echo Photo Friday, send photo, caption and your name to greatlakesecho@gmail.com.

Photo Friday: Astronaut photo of Sault Ste Marie in both Ontario and Michigan

In the above photo, taken on June 29, north is on the left. As described on NASA.gov, the lakes and rivers typically appear blue or blue-green – areas appearing silver in color are likely the result of sediment and sunglint. Sunglint is light reflecting off the water to the International Space Station. Canals and shipping locks in Sault Ste Marie is crucial to the Great Lakes shipping traffic system.
