Photos of the Week: Grand Ledge from Above 🌇🍁

This week’s featured photos capture Grand Ledge from a perspective few get to see — high above the trees, where the sunsets spill gold over our cozy downtown. Local aerial photographer Ryan Latourette, of Capitol Drone, offers a stunning glimpse at our community’s beauty in every season. From the quiet neighborhoods to the vibrant fall canopy, each image reminds us why Grand Ledge is such a special place to call home. 🏡✨

The first photo shows downtown Grand Ledge basking in the soft glow of evening. You can spot the familiar brick buildings, the winding roads, and the endless stretch of green trees that make our town feel tucked away from the rest of the world. The photo radiates that small-town charm we all love — where local shops stay busy and the river glimmers in the distance. 🌆

In the second image, the Grand River slices through a forest of blazing red, orange, and gold. This breathtaking fall scene showcases our famous railroad bridge and the ledges that give our town its name. It’s a postcard-perfect moment that captures the magic of Michigan’s autumn — and why people travel from miles away just to walk our trails. 🍂

The third photo centers on Grand Ledge’s beloved blue water tower, proudly watching over the town as the sun sets. Surrounded by the fiery hues of fall, it’s both a landmark and a symbol of hometown pride. Whether you’re driving down Bridge Street or returning home after a long day, that tower always says, “You’re back where you belong.” 💙
