It’s a beautiful painting one can fantasize in for hours

Outstanding!

Great subject, detail, color.

The light is amazing.

“A CB antenna for every roof.” I am trying to surmise by the shadows what direction the painter was facing, and what time of day is depicted. Would there happen to be a link to a higher resolution copy so I can download it, frame it, and enter it into an art contest?

Alexis de Tocqueville, on his trip around America in the 1830s, wanted to take a trip into "the wilderness" and made his way by horse with a friend and two Indian guides. They traveled from Detroit to Saginaw Bay, having crossed two rivers, the Flint and the Saginaw, to get there.

The Indian trail he took is the old Dixie Highway from Detroit to Saginaw.

He spent the night at Loon Lake just north of Detroit.

The elevator on the right hand side of the river is still there, with the “Beans” sign on top. I was in Saginaw about a year ago and took a photo of it. Saginaw was part of my six year field trip to all 83 county seats in Michigan, the state where I grew up. I hope some day to get my photos processed and organized so that I can put up an e-book.

I remember going for rides at night across the bridge, and seeing the Jackrabbit Beans sign all lit up, with the jumping rabbit.
