  • The beauty and pristine nature of Schlatter Lake really cannot be shared through words or photographs. 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.

  • 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.

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

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

  • Lake Bailey is a very picturesque spot in any season.

  • 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.

  • 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 little footpath at Muskallonge Lake State Park meanders down to the shore of Lake Superior.

  • 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.
    GL5D_15.10.06_0228HR.JPG
  • Stones and pebbles of every imaginable color are clearly visible through the crystal-clear, chilly water of Lake Superior, at Whitefish Point, in Michigan's Upper Peninsula. The clarity of the water, here, is perhaps greater than at any other place that I have ever visited.

  • 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.

  • Lake Superior, at the mouth of the Hurricane River, was assuming its winter character on this October day.

  • 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.

  • In an image so reminiscent of sea ice photos taken from Alaskan shores, you can see the amazing extent of Lake Superior's freeze-up in the winter of 2013-14. The ice extends from the shoreline at Eagle River to the horizon. As I write this caption, I have just heard of the woes of the fleet of Coast Guard icebreakers that have been struggling to break this ice up for the start of the 2014 Great Lakes shipping season.

  • 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.

  • Miner's Castle is a famous, and fantastic tourist destination. Erosion and freeze/thaw cycles continue to alter the appearance of the castle, but that's just nature at work. This upper vantage point offers a breathtaking view. On windy days, the power of Lake Superior is evident as the huge waves crash into the cove below.

  • 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.

  • 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.

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

  • Lots of activity could be seen at the Mount Bohemia ski resort during my visit to the Lac La Belle area.

  • This summer retreat on Lac La Belle in Michigan's Keweenaw peninsula is completely buried in snow.

  • 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.

  • 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.

  • 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.

  • At Copper Harbor, which is as far north as you can go in Michigan (without going to Isle Royale, that is), many of the businesses are closed for winter. However, the Mariner North is always open, and has great food, lodging, and other nice things for weary, hungry explorers.

  • 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.

  • 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.

  • 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.

  • 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.

  • The Cliff Range is one of the beautiful features of the Keweenaw, particularly in winter.
