Silhouetted by the setting sun, a group of people enjoy Labor Day weekend, and the final days of summer, along a beach on East Grand Traverse Bay.




Already turning over a new season, these leaves gathered on the cobblestone of Sixth Street prove fall is around the corner.

Taking advantage of the waning days of summer, Christopher 4, and his brother, Noah, 2, construct a sand castle with their parents, John and Kristy while soaking up the sun at Clinch Park beach.
