Old Mission Gazette readers send us photos. Awesome photos of what’s going on around the Old Mission Peninsula neighborhood. Have a great photo you’d like us to publish on Old Mission Gazette? Email it to me, [email protected]. High-resolution is best – at least 1500 pixels on the long edge.
Roving Photographer Curt Peterson sent the above photo taken at Power Island. They live on the west side of the Old Mission Peninsula and had just walked across the ice from the shoreline along Peninsula Drive to Power Island. You go, guys!

Likewise, Lisa Flaska Erickson, who also lives on the west side of the Old Mission Peninsula, trekked across the bay and took a picture from the other side. “An easy way to find your way home. Follow your footsteps back!” she wrote on Facebook. “Crossing a frozen Grand Traverse Bay on a gorgeous winters day.”
Ginger Schultz, manager of Mission Point Lighthouse, sent this photo along of a Snowy Owl on the rail of the tower, taken by one of the lighthouse keepers. Read more about the keeper program here.
And David Tucker sent along this lovely photo of the Super Moon last week. These moons are called “super” because of their relatively close proximity to the earth, making them seem bigger than normal. Read more here.
SUPPORT YOUR INDEPENDENT LOCAL NEWSPAPER: I started Old Mission Gazette in 2015 because I felt a calling to provide the Old Mission Peninsula community with local news. After decades of writing for newspapers and magazines like the New York Times, Los Angeles Times, Family Circle and Ladies' Home Journal, I really just wanted to write about my own community where I grew up on a cherry farm and raised my own family. So I started my own newspaper.
Because Old Mission Gazette is a "Reader Supported Newspaper" -- meaning it exists because of your financial support -- I hope you'll consider tossing a few bucks our way if I mention your event, your business, your organization or your news item, or if you simply love reading about what's happening on the OMP. In a time when local news is becoming a thing of the past, supporting an independent community newspaper is more important now than ever. Thank you so much for your support! -Jane Boursaw, Editor/Publisher, Old Mission Gazette
