  • 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.

  • 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.

  • 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.

  • Heading back into Wisconsin on my return from the Keweenaw in 2014, I stopped in Niagara, Wisconsin, to capture this shot of the Niagara Cliffs, which stand along side a very frozen Menominee River.

  • 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.

  • Located in front of the Iron County Courthouse is a stone monument to the Finnish settlers that contributed to building the economic and social environment of the western UP.

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

  • 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.

  • 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.

  • 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.

  • I just liked the feeling I got from the wood smoke coming out of this little house on Munising Bay at the dawn of this very chilly winter morning.

  • I'm not big on car photos, but I took this shot to capture the snow depth, which is significantly greater than the height of my truck. This is Rock River Road (also known as H01) in Alger County, just a bit north of Chatham, where the road heads into dense forest.

  • Another beautiful building in Crystal Falls is the Forest Park School.

  • A big part of the UP economy is the pulpwood industry. Here is another huge load of wood moving down highway US-2.

  • 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.

  • You kinda get used to a different style of driving in the Upper Peninsula.

  • 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.
