Quincy Mine Portfolio : Here is collection of images of the Quincy Mine and environs, near Hancock, Mich.  The colorful chairs were placed on the Quincy No. 2 Shaft/Rockhouse in the summer of 2005 as part of that year's FinnGrandFest in Marquette.  Other pictures show the massive piece of pure "float" copper recovered a few years ago in the shallow water of Lake Superior, along with views of the Nordberg Steam Hoist.

Ranger III Portfolio : The National Park Service vessel, Ranger III, is the lifeline for Isle Royale National Park.  It is the highway system, the food and diesel fuel transporter, and the most luxurious surface transport to and from the park. 

At 165 feet long, it is the largest piece of movable equipment in the National Park System.

The Ranger celebrated its 50th year in 2008. Here are a variety of views of the Ranger III in action.  Some are straight photos; some have been edited to mimic a colored pencil drawing.

Mt. Bohemia Fall Color 2008 : Mt. Bohemia, surely the gnarliest ski area between the Rockies and New England, is found near the outer tip of the Keweenaw Peninsula, jutting into Lake Superior.  Double and triple black diamond runs drop steeply through wooded glades and over rock bands. At 900 feet of vertical, it has one of the greatest verticals in the Heartland. It's location assures deep snows (often more than 300 inches a year) and incredible lake-effect powder (snow-water ratios are up to 40:1).  Here are views of the autumn spectacle at Mt. Bohemia, enjoyed by a ride up the chairlift on a mild fall day.  For more info on Bohemia, go to www.mtbohemia.com
