George C. Bailey is taking us on a wintry tour around Esrey Park today. Just be careful as everything is slippery when covered in white. It’s neat to see one of my favorite Keweenaw parks covered in white, as it’s not a place I stop for a visit or picnic in the winter months. I’m not sure why, but the steps are my favorite here, maybe because they’re actually shaped from the existing rock. It’s a great place to picnic in the summer, not to mention a little agate hunting, too. It’s a most scenic little park any time of the year and as you can see, winter is just as beautiful as summer, just in different way. It’s neat to see the contrast of the lichen on the shoreline rocks, with the snow and ice beginning to coat around it, too.
A newcomer to the Pasty Cam videographer family, Charly Kline shares some early morning footage of the Portage Canal, the Bridge and the lights of both Houghton and Hancock. Charly said this video has special meaning to him as he was out filming it when his sister passed away. Our sympathies to you, Charly.

Wasn't too long ago I could go up those Esrey Park steps quickly, but now sore knees & ankles have made the climb too unsteady, oh well.

First of all, welcome to pasty.com, Charly. And secondly, my sympathy for the loss of your sister. I loved the video. These winter pictures are so very different from the summer and fall pictures. They're not a bad different, they're just different. And I love Esrey at any time of year.
