The Gardens at Grand Hotel, Mackinac Island
Hard to tell it’s raining as I make an attempt to photograph this beautiful fountain and grounds at the Grand Hotel. Folks who know the movie, “Somewhere in Time”, will recognize the scenery where part of the movie was filmed. We spent quite a bit of time, shooting the hotel and grounds, taking a horse and buggy ride around the area and enjoying one of the most beautiful islands anywhere. Probably the most enjoyable part of the trip was bicycling around the 7 mile perimeter of the island. Everyone would gather to catch the sunset on the beach in the evening, looking across Lake Huron toward the Mackinac Bridge to the west. Great times!

Wabasha Fountain
At the Alhambra:  Lions given to the Sultan by a member of the Jewish community.  They were sculpted in the 10th or 11th Century.  At one time they served as a clock with the water spouting out of a lion for an hour, and then switching to another lion to mark the next hour.  The Christian Spaniards took it apart to figure out how it worked --- and it has never worked since.
