I took my mother to Iron Mountain, Michigan (KATW -> KIMT) to grab some lunch today at Spiro's Downtown Restaurant (not pictured). There were really long icicles hanging off her cabin which always looks neat. The staff at the airport were great as ever and let me borrow a crew car. It was a gorgeous smooth day to fly and actually above freezing.

It’s been a while since I’ve shared a photograph, but lately, I’ve been seeking out peaceful moments wherever I can find them. This seemed like a good place to start— a quiet winter day at Iroquois Point Lighthouse in Upper Michigan, standing strong against the cold. Visit my gallery to discover more.

:flan_heckk: this one is personal, so i'm actually doin the thing:
my hubby spent most of his childhood in #upperMichigan, which is the part of of the state that doesn't look like a mitten. his dad grew up there too, and his mom lived there for decades. (it's mostly descendants of finns. his dad used to do an amazing #finnish accent 🇫🇮 )
a hundred years ago, upper michigan was all mining towns. copper. pfas everywhere. hubby and both his parents were all diagnosed with various and sundry cancers at young ages, and his sister has fought endocrine disorders her whole life.
a canadian company wants to set up another copper mine about an hour from where hubby grew up. they want to ship the copper to canada, and leave the toxic waste behind in a reservoir a couple miles upstream from #lakeSuperior. the dam they're planning to build is basically made of tissue paper, and won't last more than a bad storm.
the michigan senate has blocked funding for the mine twice, but the company has until the end of this year (2025) to get approval, so they're gonna keep trying.
i think the whole thing is a terrible idea. if you also think it's a terrible idea, you can do some keyboard activism over here.

In the past, rowboats were needed to get from the island from the Lower Tahquamenon Falls in Upper Michigan. In 2021, a 420+ foot fabricated aluminum pedestrian bridge was built to enable visitors universal access to the island and better viewing of the Lower Falls.

We visited Tahquamenon Falls in winter during light snowfall. Warmer weather the previous week melted some snow, and the water appears brown due to tannins from cedar swamps along the river. Hearing the water cascade over the falls is truly magical.
