Got a chance to see a little of this beautiful part of the country. I can't wait to go back. As always, thank you in advance for any comments, critique, or suggestions.

Yeah, I agree. 3/6 are my favorites. The UP is on my bucket list for a good half week trip.

Used to have relation scattered around the UP (most have passed away as the years have gone by) and never get tired of going up there. Crossing the Big Mack is like getting paroled from everyday life. Even when I go up there to work on someones house or cottage it is still a vacation. 950, you made my day, at the end of a long HOT week, and seeing these took me back to happier times...

I couldn't agree more. I used to live in SE Michigan and had relatives throughout the NW corner of the U.P. (Baraga, Ontonagon, Skanee, etc). Some are probably still there but the ones I kept in touch with have either passed or moved. My dad and I used to go hunting up there all the time. Happy times indeed.

Great series. Looks like most were from the Pictured Rocks area.

The processing in all of these is far too stylized for my taste - especially 1,2 and 5, but your composition is spot on for most of them. My favorite is the last one because I find the detail in the water interesting.

All around the Munising area. I was being driven and couldn't pay to much attention to the roads as I was awe-struck by the scenery.
