  • 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.

  • Perhaps the most photographed lighthouse in all of Michigan, the Grand Island East Channel Light is a study in simplicity. It hasn't been used as aid to navigation since the early 1900's, but it is a symbol of the state, of the Upper Peninsula, of Munising, and a regular itinerary item on the various boat trips to the Pictured Rocks National Lakeshore in summer. I captured this image of the lighthouse from the ice during a brief snow squall, resulting in the ghostly appearance of Munising in the background.

  • This old building, a typical retail store from the turn of the last century, appears to be relatively intact. In fact, from my way of thinking, it has a pleasing "curb appeal". Whenever I see buildings with this character, I have to wonder about the amazing stories that could be told. I also can't help but to wonder what commercial endeavor could be brought to life within its walls today, resulting in the preservation of the U.P. architecture.

  • On my way back from the UP, I decided to stop and capture this image of the Dickinson County Courthouse, which is another of those beautiful and well-preserved examples of Upper Peninsula architecture.

  • Making my way south from the Keweenaw, I decided to stop in the town of Crystal Falls, another of the Upper Peninsula's great spots, rich with history and fantastic, well-preserved architecture.

  • In Copper City, this is another of the many Upper Peninsula retail storefronts that could, with a bit of paint and TLC, rise again. The challenge that entrepreneurs face is always that of commercial viability, which is nothing new, except that virtually all of the customers must arrive through either tourist traffic or the internet.

  • 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.

  • One example of the many beautiful Upper Peninsula homes. So many of these houses, which were built in the early 1900s, are still in place, and receiving wonderful care from their owners.

  • Another great story of re-purposing in the Upper Peninsula, and specifically Calumet, is that of the First Presbyterian Church, which opened in 1894. As the population of Calumet has dropped substantially after the copper boom, the congregations of many of the beautiful churches could no longer financially maintain their buildings. Some congregations consolidated; some largely disappeared. Not all of the old churches have been re-purposed, yet, but this beautiful old church now provides a home for the Calumet Art Center, which provides a learning environment for art, culture, and history for the people of the Keweenaw.

  • 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.

  • 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.

  • 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 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.

  • Still in use, the Christ Episcopal Church is one of the original churches of Calumet, Michigan. This very simple, yet elegant structure was built in 1893 and, in my opinion, remains quite beautiful to this wintry day.

  • 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.

  • 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).

  • 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!!
