Favorite Links Here are a few links to Upper Peninsula sites that I enjoy very much and visit frequently. I'll start with the other Copper Harbor camera, maintained by the Copper Harbor Improvement association. It is on top of the fish market at the public dock, and the link is http://www.copperharbor.org/copper_harbor_live_cam.htm Then there is the Eagle Harbor Cam. Eric Jackson's site has a picture of Lake Superior, looking west down the coastline. The view is spectacular, especially with a sea running. For those who, like me, need their "lake fix" every day, this is a great site. You must visit the Pasty Cam. There is a new picture every day of some facet of life in Keweenaw, plus commentary and discussion. At the home page of Pasty.com, you can investigate Keweenaw businesses, and have pasties delivered to your door. I recommend them, too. George Hite's Eagle Harbor Web has news about Eagle Harbor, pictures, and George's insights into and pictures of things in general. However, George still sails Lake Superior in his sailboat in the summer, so there isn't much new during the warmer months. John Dee's Snow Central has John's snow forecasts, the Northwoods Cam Network, with live pictures from a number of locations, and a directory of snow-related businesses. I particularly like his journal and pictures of his travels around the Keweenaw with the dogs. Shawn Stockman and Brian Malone have a lovely photo site, Images of the Upper Peninsula. Their pictures are mostly of the central UP, around Marquette and Munising. An e-friend, Rick Currell, has two cameras looking over Montreal River Harbour, in Canada at the east end of Lake Superior, at http://users.vianet.ca/naturenorth/5.html. I find it interesting to compare conditions here with those at the other end of our big lake. My thoughts about the analemma and its effects on us led me to a web search, and I turned up a wonderful site, http://www.analemma.com , that explains all about it and has lots of wonderful pictures and Windows Media Player animations.
