Took this as we drove up to the lighthouses on the Keweena Peninsula of the U.P

I was told that I missed the height of the fall season by one week, which I had to postpone due to some family issues.

I noted also that there are alot of pines in the area.

I loved this area, not sure If I'll make back up there~ it's a long drive from my friends B&B (all day~ about 6 hours total driving time, so we stayed at a historic manor B&B for one night which was very opulent but the beds/pillows not so good. :)

Thanks for your comments.
