  • The sun rises over a cloud bank to illuminate the northern Keweenaw Peninsula of Michigan, on October 6, 2015.

  • The early morning sun lights up the harbor of Copper Harbor on October 6, 2015. No trace of land is visible looking out into Lake Superior in this direction, as the nearest land is 90 miles away.

  • The beauty and pristine nature of Schlatter Lake really cannot be shared through words or photographs. I was committed to reaching this place during my fall 2015 explore. It must be seen to be appreciated. This lake is nearly inaccessible to the public, despite being entirely surrounded by public lands or private preserves. It is completely unspoiled by human activity.

  • Early morning light starts to illuminate the valley below Brockway Mountain on a cloudy morning.

  • From the Brockway Mountain overlook, the little town of Copper Harbor is nestled between Lake Fanny Hooe and Lake Superior. In the distance lies a vast wilderness that remains undeveloped and accessible only to four-wheel-drive vehicles or ATVs.

  • Perhaps my favorite image from the color tour of 2015, this shot captures a wetland below the cliff range, just south of Phoenix, Michigan.

  • The Eagle Harbor Lighthouse was built in 1871, and is still in beautiful condition. It is maintained by the Keweenaw County Historical Society as a museum, and the light is still maintained, in the tower, by the US Coast Guard.

  • Copper Harbor is a very small town, with an economy that is geared toward tourism. Many of the lodgings are open only during the spring and summer months, while others are open year round. The people here are always so friendly, which makes this place very endearing to me. This can be a very brutal place in the winter, as temperatures can fall to -40, gale force winds are a routine thing, and snow forecasts are usually issued in feet, not inches. I think it's awesome!

  • Everything in the Keweenaw has to be tough to survive. This little tree, growing out of solid rock, and displaying wounds from animal chewing, stands proud at The Mary Macdonald Preserve at Horseshoe Harbor.

  • Early morning clouds and haze obscure the the fall colors that surround Lake Fanny Hooe, in Copper Harbor, Michigan.

  • Oranges and reds begin to glow against a backdrop of conifers, with Lake Superior in the background.

  • Early morning light casts long shadows into the valley below Brockway Mountain. Looking to the west, Lake Upson (foreground), Lake Bailey (background, with island), and, eventually, Eagle Harbor come into view. Lake Upson is fully contained within the Lake Upson Sanctuary, a holding of the Michigan Nature Association.

  • Some of the morning's first rays of sunlight break through the clouds to illuminate the sea of color that borders Lake Medora.

  • The waves coming ashore from Lake Superior at Pt. Isabelle, in the Bete Grise Preserve, can be gentle, or ferocious. This is some of the most crystal-clear water I have ever seen.

  • US-41, in Green Bay, is 10 lanes wide in places. US-41, here in Copper Harbor, is just a bit more relaxed.

  • This image was captured on Mandan Road, in the wilderness east of Copper Harbor, Michigan. It's name is a bit misleading, as it is a non-maintained seasonal track, wide enough for a single truck. In the summer it's rough, in the spring, it's very muddy (you must have a winch), and in the winter, it's strictly for snowmobiles. It is one of the most beautiful places that I have ever seen.

  • The setting sun, struggling to reach the surface of Gibson Lake through the remnants of of an afternoon rain cloud, creates a most unique reflection on the surface.
