These two photos come to you from the Tech Trails, Michigan Tech's world class ski, mountain-bike, and hiking trails. The top photo is on the Isle Royal loop (named for the mine which used to own the land). The bottom photo is snow near the Hobbit Loop. The Hobbit Loop is just one of several similar loops set off in their own part of the trail. Others are the Troll loop, the Ent loop, the Elf loop, the Dragon loop, and -- of course -- the Ring loop, to which they are all attached.

A bare tree in the old Hecla Cemetery in Laurium. The cemetery has long been abandoned, and this tree stands stark against the sky with old graves beneath it. Sarah and I made it there while geocaching, looking for a cache located under an old tree. Turns out we had the wrong coordinates, but we found this excellent tree instead!

A huge old tree between two modern buildings.

A huge old tree on the Michigan Tech campus. It's referred to by many as the "Big Oak", except that... it's not an oak! I'm not actually sure what it is. Whatever it is, it's the only tree for miles which still has leaves.

Shadow of a hook. This is a little hook in my room's wall. I lit it with my LED headlamp, and shot this a whoooooole bunch of times!

This old leaf lives on with its crazy shadow!
