Michigan Murals.

From a summer holiday in Michigan. A selection of murals, signs, and sites around Frankenmuth, a lovely town originally set up by German settlers.

On a pharmacy wall.











A scene from "old" Germany at a shop entrance.



Many town buildings had these images from the town's history.





Depicting the inside of several local shops.













I had the best hot chocolate I have ever tasted here.



I caught my Lovely Cousin two timing on me with this chap.



A modern but traditional "no nails" covered bridge. It was pulled across the river into position by a team of horses.



Inside the bridge. The wooden fixing pegs can clearly be seen on the timbers.



One man band in one of the shops.



Local weather station. Note the traditional dress on the figures, and Bavarian colours on the shutters.



Water Maypole.





No, we can't take him home.



Herbal tea to cure all ills.





View from our hotel.



View from the boat.



Restaurant and microbrewery, with recycled brewing equipment as a sun pergola.



At one end of the town.



Inside the town's all year chrymble shop.



I bought two of these.



All in all we thoroughly enjoyed our stay here.

Re: Michigan Murals.

I didn't change it. Someone has been tampering with my post.

I need to contact a board guide/Mod to complain.

Is there a spelling mod in the house then? They didn't change my threat to thread. Perhaps they thought I really meant threat?
