MICHIGAN – KEWEENAW PENINSULA

Photo Experience:   The Keweenaw Peninsula is a “peninsula on the peninsula” of the Michigan UP. On a fall day, partly cloudy skies here were accompanied by “wind-tunnel force” winds, which made steadying the camera a bit of a challenge. The image on the right below shows the dramatic rocky shoreline being pounded by wind-driven waves. (No surfing that day, dude.) From Eagle River on the north side, my wife and I drove Michigan 26 towards Copper Harbor. Along this road, there were some places that allowed access to the Lake Superior shore where we found some beautiful, naturally-polished stones. (See the image on the left.)
