Photography of Michigan's 
       Keweenaw Peninsula         

               Whale Rock Images specializes in photography of the
                                   Western Upper Peninsula of Michigan and the Lake 
                                      Superior Region of the upper Midwest   

             
                          Situated in the Western Upper Peninsula of Michigan, Eagle Harbor, nestled on
                          the south shore of  Lake Superior in Michigan's Keweenaw Peninsula, is one of 
                          many of it's uniquely  beautiful places. The area has a rich copper mining history
                          with many preserved  historically significant features.  So it gets it's name
                          "The Copper Country." The  Keweenaw National Historical Park commemorates
                          the copper mining history of  the Keweenaw.  Geologically, the rocks known as
                          the Keweenaw lava-flows are the oldest known at more than one and a half 
                          billion years old and contribute to the  areas unique topography.  The topography
                          ranges from sandy and rocky shorelines to rugged hills reaching to mountains 
                          and the beautiful Brockway Mountain drive.   Overall, it is truly a magical place. 
                          I hope my photo-interpretation gives you a  glimpse of it's beauty.  
                          Enjoy and protect!
