I believe this is a spot up Garden City Road, above Eagle River, near an old mine site. I do recall that morning 8 years ago, as we were still waiting for snow. Today we're waiting for it to stop.

Good Morning, Everyone!

Good morning everybody! Have a great weekend. We have our work Christmas party tonight. It's always fun.

Great picture, by the way.

Happy Saturday All!

Is there another building nearby the "castle" where state level receptions would be held? Some years ago I was a "scholarship holder" at the University of Helsinki. The Ministry of Education held a reception for scholarship holders and some others and it was in a very ornate building, inside and out. Quite formal as you had to wear at least at suit and women dresses, etc.

Congratulations Marianne on your early bird. And what a lovely past pic on todays what's up. Remeinds me of some of my own pics from the area.

Good Afternoon everyone! 18 degrees and light snow here in Houghton. Dogsitting this afternoon while daughter is out shopping. Got some laundry to put away and a few chores to do around the house.


Have a great day!!!

I love this picture. Everything looks so clear.

That's Garden City Pond, near the old Garden City Mine up from Eagle River. The Dr. and I were up there this summer and the pond was almost dried up; barely any water coming over the dam....

Tom, Japei: Is that the building that Conan O'Brien had an audience wih the President of Finland a couple or so of years ago? It was aired on his TV show and yes, very beautiful and ornate! I was impressed!

Russell; its same building!
