  • This wavy-roofed building is the Old Station, in Carp Lake Michigan. At one point, a gift shop in a bustling, lakeside tourist town, it, like so many northern Michigan tourist businesses, has fallen victim to the explosion of summer entertainment options available to young families, and a sequence of negative economic impacts to the tourist trade over the past several decades. I cannot help but wonder what stories the old building could tell.

  • This is a nice view of the Green Bay Shoreline, looking to the north from Chaudoir's Dock in southern Door County, Wisconsin. My photo title, here, is a bit facetious.....you see, that is not sand in the photo.....those are zebra mussel shells. There are, literally, thousands of tons of these shells lining the Lake Michigan shoreline in places. The destructive potential of these invasive species, in both the Great Lakes region and throughout America, cannot be overstated. The most profound threat to the Great Lakes is now posed by the Asian Silver Carp, which have invaded certain rivers in the midwest. The only thing preventing them from getting into Lake Michigan is an electrified barrier in the Chicago Sanitary & Ship Canal southwest of Chicago. If these fish actually do arrive in the Great Lakes, the magnitude of the destruction of native habitat is expected to be severe.
