Tramway

A tramway at the old Quincy Smelter.

Tire

Machinery at the Quincy Smelter. My recent tour of the site provided a surprising number of semi-abstract shots, including this steel shot.

Wet Steel

Exactly what it says on the tin... er... steel.

Originally found outside of the Quincy Smelter.

Back of the Cliffs

The Cliff Range is a huge and beautiful series of rock outcrops in Keweenaw County. They jut up abruptly, facing southeast, and gradually slope down to Lake Superior on their northwest side. This was taken from one of the many smaller outcrops on this "back" side of the cliffs -- a typical Keweenaw backcountry view in late autumn. The clearing clouds from a rainstorm let in some beautiful late afternoon sunlight to finish off the scene.

Shotgun Stopsign

A true Yooper "stop ahead" sign.

This one was along the snowmobile trail near Mass City, Michigan. It was also near the Hilton mine, which was my goal of the day.

Rockpile

Rocks from deep underground, now piled high at the Trimountain mine.

Leaf on leaf

One leaf's shadow on another.
