  • This summer retreat on Lac La Belle in Michigan's Keweenaw peninsula is completely buried in snow.
    GL5DM2_14.03.15_4172cr2HR.JPG
  • Mount Bohemia stands in the background of this snowy winter Keweenaw setting.
    GL5DM2_14.03.15_4171cr2HR.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
  • The Cliff Range is one of the beautiful features of the Keweenaw, particularly in winter.

  • Rental cabins are available all year in the Keweenaw.
    GL5DM2_14.03.14_3901cr2HR.JPG
  • The primary means of getting from place to place in the Keweenaw during winter is the snowmobile. During my two nights in Calumet, there were far greater numbers of snowmobiles in the area parking lots than cars and trucks.

    GL40D_14.03.15_4254cr2HR.JPG
  • 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.

  • This pretty little two-story home on the shore of Lac La Belle is carrying quite a snow load. The late winter first floor view is now an 8 foot tall snow bank.

    GL5DM2_14.03.14_3985cr2HR.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.

  • This is the Victorian Hall bed & breakfast in Laurium. Needless to say, it's not open in the winter. It is a wonderful example of the Victorian architecture that characterizes a number of the mansions that were built in the early 1900s by copper industry moguls.

  • Lots of activity could be seen at the Mount Bohemia ski resort during my visit to the Lac La Belle area.
    GL5DM2_14.03.15_4182cr2HR.JPG
  • I took a photo of these mailboxes back in 2009. Now, in 2014, they're not only still here ... there's lots more of them.

  • Even the local ice cream parlor in Calumet, Michigan, appears to be inundated with snow. I'd hate to be standing in front of those soda machines when those couple tons of snow decide to come down.

  • No, I'm not attempting to do an advertisement for Ram Trucks, here. I had walked ahead some distance, down this remote, seasonal road that runs parallel to the Cliff Range. Looking back, I was struck by the beauty, and the desolation of this place. To be honest, though, given that it was about 10 degrees, and that I was a two hour walk from anything at all, I was grateful that the truck was reliable on the trip.

  • This is a road photo of highway US-41, heading into the town of Phoenix, Michigan. Phoenix is comprised of a few houses, a bar, and a church, but it is a very beautiful place, indeed.

  • Even in Copper Country, one must prepare for April 15.
    GL5DM2_14.03.14_3914cr2HR.JPG
  • I love the look of fresh powder snow. This seasonal back country road follows a parallel path to the Keweenaw's Cliff Range. About 2.5 miles into the forest (just beyond the curve ahead), the snow plowing stops.

  • Highly qualified skiers and snowboarders make the long trek to the tip of the Keweenaw, and Mount Bohemia.

  • St. Anne's Church was built in 1900 for the French Canadian Catholics living in what was an amazingly diverse population that had assembled in Calumet, Michigan, to participate in the copper mining industry. It is, in a word, magnificent. It is one of the multitude of churches in the Calumet and Laurium area. It was deconsecrated by the Catholic Church nearly 50 years ago, and for a long while, its future was in doubt. Thankfully, the building is now being provided the care it requires and deserves, and it lives on as the Keweenaw Heritage Center at St. Anne's. This masterpiece of architectural heritage deserves a gallery all of its own (perhaps I'll pursue that in the near future).

  • 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
  • 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
  • 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
  • Sometimes, in the cold of a Keweenaw winter, you just need to have a little nip. While there are lots of pubs in northern Michigan, this is THE U.P. Pub. Kinda reminds me of the old Northern Exposure show. By the way, the Copperdog 150 is the annual sled dog race that is held here in Calumet, and it's a really big deal!!
    GL5DM2_14.03.14_3972cr2HR.JPG
  • This is Holy Transfiguration Skete, a Roman Catholic Monastery in a very remote Keweenaw location, at Jacob's Falls on the Lake Superior shoreline.
    GL5DM2_14.03.15_4138cr2HR.JPG
  • This sturdy structure on the shore of Lac La Belle is the Lac La Belle Lodge and Bear Belly Bar and Grill. If you're in Lac La Belle and you need gasoline, groceries, lodging, a quick meal, or a beverage, this is the place to go. Seriously, this is the only place to go. If they don't have it, you probably don't need it. Given the early 70's vintage gas pumps, you won't be able to use your debit card at the pump. In all honesty, it's stuff like this, and the wonderful folks that live here, that I really find endearing about the Keweenaw.

  • One of the many beautiful Calumet/Laurium homes, nestled in a deep blanket of snow.
    GL5DM2_14.03.14_3954cr2HR.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.
    GL5DM2_14.03.15_4037cr2HR.JPG
  • This homeowner has crafted a narrow pathway to his front door for the mailman, but Mother Nature is busy today, as well.
    GL5DM2_14.03.14_4003cr2HR.JPG
  • This building could use some paint, a bit of mortar work, and, ideally, a return of the symmetry of the facing of the first floor. Setting those issues aside, this early 1900s structure is a thing of beauty. What an awesome headquarters it would make for a small to midsize business.
    GL5DM2_14.03.14_3973cr2HR.JPG
  • 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.
    GL5D_15.10.07_0363HR.JPG
  • Lake Superior, that is!! My guess is that they're closed for the season.
    GL5DM2_14.03.14_3958cr2HR.JPG
  • One of the many beautiful Calumet/Laurium homes, nestled in a deep blanket of snow. With street parking being out of the question in Calumet during the winter, people create "parking nooks" wherever they can.
    GL5DM2_14.03.14_3944cr2HR.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
  • 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
  • In this idyllic setting, white-tailed deer mill about in an Eagle River picnic spot. It seems that this location has become that one special place where the locals bring food to the deer. While I was parked here, observing the deer, a constant parade of local vehicles drove up, tossed out vegetables and fruit, and drove on. Given the snow depth, this may be the key to the deer's survival.
    GL5DM2_14.03.15_4113cr2HR.JPG
  • One of the true architectural marvels of Calumet is St. Anne's Catholic Church.
    GL5DM2_14.03.14_3978cr2HR.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
  • This is the passage from Copper Harbor out into Lake Superior. Like everything else, it was frozen solid in mid-March of 2014.
    GL5DM2_14.03.15_4151cr2HR.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
  • It's a good thing that the high school football season wraps up before the holidays. By late winter, the football field here is rather difficult to find.

  • 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.

  • Lake Bailey is a very picturesque spot in any season.
    GL5DM2_14.03.15_4143cr2HR.JPG
  • Copper City is another tiny little hamlet that grew out of the copper boom of long ago.
    GL5DM2_14.03.15_4034cr2HR.JPG
