Description This was taken at one of the many old abandoned copper mines near my school. This place has been out of service for quite some time, as the building in the foreground shows. Back in the day, the Keweenaw Peninsula was THE copper mining hot spot in the country. These people raped the earth and left their mark.

I love this picture! My wife is from Hancock. I've taken the mine tour here. Such an amazing shot. You should sell them a copy for advertising

my family goes to michigan every summer for vacation, so your entire gallery is like a mini vacation for me. it brings back memories and makes me grin like an idiot

the quincy mine is one of my favorite landmarks in houghton, and the black and white just makes this even better!

this is nice. i really like the reflection in the water. gives a nice symetry. i liek how the image is very tall and the lift building, or what ever the metal one is, isnt the main focus, all huge and filing up the whole frame.

wow... jst woow... amazing capture... great constructions to photo... very industrialist but at the same time so nature related... i just wosh i could see more contrast.. i mean even your whites appear as dark gray... but if that is what you wanted, then i am simply shutting my mouth... good job...
