  • The extraordinary winter of 2013-2014 provided us with an amazing bit of natural artistry, as water, leaching through the porous sandstone cliffs of Grand Island, froze to create the Grand Island Ice Caves. I captured these images on March 13, 2014, after walking across frozen Lake Superior from the Pictured Rocks National Lakeshore headquarters. Because of the very harsh lighting during my visit, I elected to record many of the images in black and white.

  • This is highway US-41 heading south and west out of Copper Harbor toward Lac La Belle. Back in Green Bay, this is a freeway with four lanes in each direction, but, here in the northern Keweenaw, it's 2 lanes, covered with snow and ice, and no shoulder. It's almost indescribably beautiful, here.
    GL5DM2_14.03.15_4164cr2HR.JPG
  • While the Harbor Haus is a renowned eating establishment, with an amazing view of the harbor in summer, it closes for the season in early autumn, and the building must endure the winter onslaught at the top of the Keweenaw.
    GL5DM2_14.03.15_4154cr2HR.JPG
  • The Cliff Range, midway into Keweenaw County, provides an endless array of beautiful, natural sights for a photographer.

  • Turrets are a common architectural feature on Calumet and Laurium commercial buildings and homes. Given the number of churches in these towns, steeples are a common site, as well.
    GL5DM2_14.03.14_3918cr2HR.JPG
  • Munising's commercial district has all of the stuff that you need. The Ace Hardware in this photo had an amazing selection of snowblowers on display. This shot kinda reminds me of Northern Exposure .... all that's missing is the moose (actually, they do live around here).

  • This is the Rock River as it wanders its way out of the densely forested wilderness north of Chatham, Michigan. At this point in the protracted winter of 2013-14, the river is almost completely frozen.

  • As is the case with Calumet and Laurium, Crystal Falls also has many well-preserved old homes.

  • As is the case with Calumet and Laurium, Crystal Falls also has many well-preserved old homes.
    GL5DM2_14.03.16_4213cr2HR.JPG
  • Another beautiful building in Crystal Falls is the Forest Park School.
    GL5DM2_14.03.16_4212cr2HR.JPG
  • Nothing short of an architectural masterpiece, the Iron County Courthouse has the appearance of being brand new. This is truly one of the great historic buildings in the entire state of Michigan.
    GL5DM2_14.03.16_4211cr2HR.JPG
  • A big part of the UP economy is the pulpwood industry. Here is another huge load of wood moving down highway US-2.

  • Highly qualified skiers and snowboarders make the long trek to the tip of the Keweenaw, and Mount Bohemia.
    GL5DM2_14.03.15_4187cr2HR.JPG
  • At Lac La Belle, it snows almost continuously from Thanksgiving until April. Because of its location, it almost really doesn't matter which way the wind is blowing, as the lake effect snow will still be there. The only exception was this winter, in which the completely frozen surface of Lake Superior eventually led to the cessation of most lake effect snow, as the water could no longer evaporate from the lake's surface. Just the same, this shot illustrates what happens if you neglect to run the snowblower for a couple of weeks in the Keweenaw.
    GL5DM2_14.03.15_4173cr2HR.JPG
  • In the summer, the view from Copper Harbor's Harbor Haus Restaurant includes kayaks, sailboats, and an occasional ferry returning from Isle Royale. However, in March of 2014, the view is that of a very frozen Lake Superior, as far as the eye can see. In my opinion, this view is equally beautiful. However, the Harbor Haus' season opens in May, so lunch will have to wait.
    GL5DM2_14.03.15_4156cr2HR.JPG
  • Lake Bailey is a very picturesque spot in any season.
    GL5DM2_14.03.15_4143cr2HR.JPG
  • A very frozen Lake Superior, as viewed from the northern shore of the Keweenaw peninsula.
    GL5DM2_14.03.15_4140cr2HR.JPG
  • This is M-26 leading north and east out of Eagle River, toward Eagle Harbor. What a breathtaking view I experienced on that entire journey.
    GL5DM2_14.03.15_4136cr2HR.JPG
  • During the winter, white-tailed deer yard up in a densely forested area just east of the town of Eagle River. They're not the least bit shy when it comes to meandering right into the roadside park in town. This guy was not the least bit concerned about me and my truck, but was much more concerned with what was on the menu.
    GL5DM2_14.03.15_4134cr2HR.JPG
  • These white-tailed deer are so accustomed to the threat-free nature of the visitors to the Eagle River park that they remain calm and almost pose for photos.
    GL5DM2_14.03.15_4125cr2HR.JPG
  • The Keweenaw is home to a variety of truly magnificent homes, apparently used only in summer. I cannot imagine, given a home of this quality, with such an amazing view of Lake Superior, not being there all the time.
    GL5DM2_14.03.15_4106cr2HR.JPG
  • Copper City, like Calumet and Laurium, has beautiful, and well preserved old frame houses. I would love to have a home with a front porch like this one.

  • Just guessing ... this image suggests that the owner may have had his fill of shoveling.

  • One of the many beautiful Calumet/Laurium homes, nestled in a deep blanket of snow.
    GL5DM2_14.03.14_3948cr2HR.JPG
  • If snow is what you're looking for, visit the Keweenaw in the winter. The official snow total, as of when I wrote this caption on April 2, was almost 300".
    GL5DM2_14.03.14_3933cr2HR.JPG
  • Another of Calumet's beautiful buildings is the Oak Street Inn. Although it originally housed a tavern and grocery store on it's lower level, it lives on as a large group lodging facility with three huge private suites. The front of this building is beautiful, with styling touches similar to those of many of Calumet's old commercial buildings. This is a terrific example of how Calumet's new business community is investing in the area's architectural legacy while creating new economic activity in the town.
    GL5DM2_14.03.14_3932cr2HR.JPG
  • Some businesses must remain fully functional in all weather conditions. This Calumet funeral home has an impeccably clean front walk, despite the 7' snow banks that completely obscure its first floor windows.
    GL5DM2_14.03.14_3913cr2HR.JPG
  • Despite the relatively brutal winter of 2013-14 (which really has no impact on real Yoopers), Upper Peninsula humor appears to be alive and well. I'm not sure quite exactly what this bit of U.P. visual commentary is all about, but it occurs to me that it took nearly as much effort to get that dummy up there on this Calumet home as it would have to simply shovel the roof.

  • This is the entry arch to the swimming beach on Lake Superior in Marquette County along M-28. Even though I captured this image on March 13, Lake Superior is frozen as far as the eye can see in this record-setting, brutally cold winter.
    GL5DM2_14.03.13_3869cr2HR.JPG
  • This pretty Munising home provides a look at the basic winter accoutrements for an Upper Peninsula family. These include his-and-hers snowshoes, his-and-hers snow shovels, an extension ladder for climbing up on the roof (which must be shoveled), and the barely visible snowmobile (at right) for retrieving things from the market.
    GL5DM2_14.03.13_3866cr2HR.JPG
  • The Cliff Range is one of the beautiful features of the Keweenaw, particularly in winter.
