A top-down drone photograph of an industrial scrapyard in winter. Snow blankets the ground, contrasting with dark, muddy access roads that curve through the site in looping paths. The yard is densely packed with heavy equipment and materials arranged in clusters: bright yellow construction cranes and lift booms line the right side, while scattered trucks, trailers, and shipping containers fill the center and left areas. Rusted metal beams, cylindrical tanks, stacked pipes, and scrap piles create irregular shapes and textures across the white snow. Several white and colored semi-trucks and utility vehicles are parked at various angles, some partially surrounded by snow. Long shadows from machinery and buildings stretch across the ground, suggesting low winter sunlight. The overall scene feels busy and industrial, with a patchwork of metal, machinery, and tire tracks forming an intricate pattern against the snowy landscape.

Ruins of the Kalamazoo Vegetable Parchment Company paper mill in Parchment, Michigan. The factory closed in 2000 and the small city was left with the responsibility of cleaning up almost a hundred years of industrial wreckage.

A drone view of Asylum Lake in Kalamazoo, Michigan, surrounded by dense autumn woods in shades of orange, gold, and red. From the bottom of the image, a narrow dark-blue stream winds through a wide expanse of tan, dried marsh grass—this small channel carries water from Asylum Lake, seen at the top of the photo, to the smaller Little Asylum Lake, which is out of view. The scene shows the contrast between the quiet lake, the vibrant fall forest, and the pale marshland cut by the winding waterway. In the distance beyond the treeline, the outskirts of the city are faintly visible.

This is the channel by which Asylum Lake feeds Little Asylum Lake (which is not seen in this photo).

A high-angle aerial photograph of Henderson Castle in Kalamazoo, Michigan, taken by drone in autumn. The historic red-brick Victorian mansion with its turrets and steep, slate-style roof sits at the center of the image, surrounded by manicured lawns and gardens. A curved driveway loops in front of the castle, where several parked cars are visible. The surrounding landscape is filled with vibrant fall foliage—trees in shades of gold, orange, green, and red. At the upper right of the image, rows of gravestones can be seen in the adjacent Mountain Home Cemetery. Residential homes with mature trees line the neighborhood streets to the left and top of the frame. The photo captures the castle nestled between the neighborhood and cemetery, showing the castle grounds, sloping terrain, and symmetrical plantings from a straight-down aerial perspective.

A straight-down aerial view of a dirt road winding through dense autumn woods in Fort Custer Recreation Area in Augusta, Michigan. The trees are in full fall color—rich yellows, oranges, and some remaining green—interspersed with a few bare branches. The road cuts diagonally through the frame beneath the canopy, partly hidden by fallen leaves and soft evening light. The image was taken by drone (Autel EVO Lite+), capturing the warm glow of golden hour across the treetops.

Aerial photo of a discarded tire lying partially submerged at the edge of a shallow pond. The surrounding water is covered in green algae and duckweed, with clusters of lily pads floating nearby. Pebbles, sticks, and small rocks line the muddy shoreline, contrasting with the vivid green texture of the water surface below. The image combines natural and human-made elements in a quiet, reflective composition.
Circles.

Fall color check over Twin Lakes, Kalamazoo, Michigan. The colors are starting, but it's mostly green.
The photos show how low the water is in the lakes - the treeline marks the usual water level. And one island is now a peninsula.

A drone photo of a large, rectangular clearing in Kalamazoo County, Michigan, taken on October 3, 2025, at the start of fall. The clearing appears scorched and darkened, possibly from a recent controlled burn, with a few patches of vegetation left standing. Surrounding the clearing are dense, green forests beginning to show hints of autumn color. In the distance, rolling farmland and clusters of trees stretch toward the horizon under a clear blue sky.
Early October color check, with evidence of a controlled burn.

A railroad trestle bridge spans the Kalamazoo River in Parchment, Michigan. The bridge is supported by a series of wooden piers, with logs and branches caught at their bases. Sunlight casts long shadows of the bridge supports onto the dark water below, where patches of green aquatic plants are visible beneath the surface. The river reflects the light and ripples, creating a striking contrast between shadow, water, and vegetation.

A drone photo of the Kalamazoo River in Parchment, Michigan, showing a reflective stretch of calm water bordered by bright green trees. The sun glints on the water’s surface, which also mirrors the clouds drifting across the sky. Fallen branches jut into the river from the banks, and a grassy path runs along the right side of the frame. The scene captures the contrast between the deep, still water and the vibrant greenery along the shoreline.

A close-up view of a white Gothic-style church tower with pointed arches and louvered panels near the top. The tower has a round plaque reading “1836 EST” and a round clock face showing the time as approximately 5:50. In the background, a mix of modern and historic buildings lines a downtown street, including a large glass and brick building on the right and a row of older storefronts below. The scene is set under a partly cloudy blue sky, with sunlight illuminating the details of the church tower and surrounding cityscape.
