A Foggy Memorial Day

I woke up to dense fog today, so I grabbed my camera and headed out the door. Here’s some random photographs from my morning shoot. I took the first two in East Grand Rapids.

After shooting close to home, I drove 17 miles east to Lowell, Michigan, where I took photos of some of the King Milling Company’s silos. King Milling is a massive operation that I have enjoyed photographing for a number of years (see 2017 and 2020). The fog presented a opportunity for a new look.

Just north of Lowell, on the Flat River, is Fallasburg Village, which was founded in the 1830’s by John Wesley Fallass and his brother Silas. Fallasburg Village is designated as a “Historical District” with the National Register of Historic Places. The 100-foot long Fallasburg covered bridge was built in 1871.

John Wesley Fallas’s sons built this barn in 1896, on property given to them by their father.
