Aerial photography fascinates me. Reminds me of playing with houses and trees in a train set, along with the little toy cars and people. I've been browsing through Rick Anderson's Skypixs.com, with a wealth of aerial views from across the U.P. Makes me feel like a kid in a candy store.

Have any idea where this neighborhood is located? And can you name the business down the street to the left of these houses? The first Cammie to post the right answers will win a Pasty Central T-shirt. Monday morning we'll announce a winner or give a hint.

This is Bootjack Road (or 9th Street) in Lake Linden. The business to the left of the houses is Kyllonen's.

Debi Steinle, Laurium

This is my first visit to your site & I am in awe! I have already looked @ every single picture from 2001! I've been to the UP every summer for the last 3 years with my boyfriend. It is one of our favorite places to visit. The scenery & waterfalls are absolutely beautiful. I've even been perusing other links on this website. What a great resource! I have added MANY pictures to use as wallpaper on my computer. If I ever want to "escape", this is the perfect place to do it! Keep up the great work!!!

Debi is correct! That's definitely 9th Street (Bootjack Road) in Lake Linden. BUT, Debi spelled Kyllonen's incorrectly. It's actually Kiilunen Repair Works! Nice shot Rick.

Did I say Monday we'll announce the winner? Forgot this was the Internet, where things happen in minutes, not days.

Just email me the T-Shirt size you'd like, Debi, and we'll see that you get it.

When my wife saw this shot, she thought it was in the Hancock neighborhood near the Keweenaw Co-op. You can fool some of the people some of the time.

WOW, I CAN SEE MY MOM'S HOUSE FROM HERE IN LAPEER!!! THE AERIEL SHOTS OF HANCOCK ARE SO GOOD, IT MAKES ME FEEL LIKE I AM GETTING A BIRDS EYE VIEW. THE FOOTBALL FIELD, THE OLD HOSPTIAL, THE BRIDGE. MY SISTER IN MILWAUKEE AND I WERE BACK AND FORTH ON THE YAHOO MESSANGER WHILE LOOKING AT ALL THE SIGHTS ON PASTY.COM. WOW IS ALL WE COULD SAY FOR A WHILE. GREAT PIX!!!THANKS.

Dang. My guess(es) of Hurontown or Laurium appear to be way off base. And it's certainly not the suburbs of Swedetown...

TO RICK ANDERSON.WOULD LOVE TO HAVE A PICTURE OF THE BIG BOY MARKET IN TAMARACK MILLS.BEFORE IT'S GONE.I LIVED THERE IN 63 &64. DON'T KNOW WHEN I'LL GET BACK UP THERE.I LOOK AT PASTY.COM EVERYDAY.I'LL EVEN PAY FOR IT.

Skypix is great,just looked up Dollar Bay and could see everything so clear.Another great site.
Speaking of GREAT things. I had my family together for a Stillwater Pasty Birthday Supper!! OOOOH, they were so good. One of my guests had her first pastie and LOVED it. The smell of them heating is so good. Thanks to all the people who help make them and send them off to us.

The house on the lower left is my Aunt Mary's house.

At first glance it looks like abstract art.
Anyhow, very attractive.

A nice shot. I checked out the Skypix site, and it is awesome. I saw a terrific aerial view of our Copper Harbor get-away. Rick Anderson, great work! Thanks guys!

Thanks Toivo! I'll give it a try. pixs of my house in da UP.

Pegg,Your house is beautiful and what a view!! Is it on Superior's shore?

This picture thing works cool. thanks Toivo. Fran, check your e-mail. Alex, my apologies for no snow.

For those interested, the house was built in 1860 by my great-great grandfather as their summer home. Naw, they didn't have any money. I sure don't now, I'm doing good if I can pay the taxes on the place. Oh, but what a spot though!!eH? Went through 9 gallons of paint last summer. Everybody is welcome as long as they bring a paint brush.

"that's ma house and that's ma car... that's ma dawg in ma front yard" but who's truck is dat?

Great photo!! Am looking forward to visiting come summer.

You got that one wrong. My house it to the left of Brian's, after Kiilunen's Artic Dealer. Aunt Mary.

Jock from LL Heights a ustawasbeaupper, wintering in Texas. One of the houses to the right of the picture was owned by Mike Laverdiere who aptly named that area SMELLY BAY due to the fires that burned in the dump and the burning ashes from the power plant that were dumped there and not to forget that the LL effuelent was let into the lake at that point from the day one till the 50's.

Hey Ricky, could you zoom in a little closer and center more on my home? Just kidding! Thanks for the nice photo of my neighborhood.

I see some Florida Uppers... where in Florida are you, I am in Tampa Bay

OK OK I was wrong, You guys are right. That is the house that has been under construction for the last 10 years, right??

Hey Bradley! Thanks for the vote of confidence! You're welcome to bring your hammer and saw the next time you're up here. (HAHAHA!!!)

Rebecca,

Pegg lives between Winter Haven and Lakeland.

I bought my fist chainsaw from Carley......& looking down on the Shop brings back many good memories..

Heart-felt thanks to Skypixs for sharing their great photos with all of us..."former Copper Country" folks..........

Looking down on my old trapline in Dollar Bay & memories of the many nights of incredible "smelting" at the base of "New Road" Hill...was a real gift........!

To Peter Kettenbiel in Montreal, Long time no see. Your dad Bruce was a regular at the shop. I am retired now, My son and grandson run the shop now. I see Your uncle Zane once in awhile. Is that Montreal as in Quebec. Can? Take care.

My grandfather, John Brown, lived on this road in the 1930's on the corner of Gregory STeet, across from a big old sand stone building. Next to a family named Kettenbiel that had a daughter named Marilyn. I can not picture this exact area, but do recognize the old company house design in a couple of those shown. My father and his brothers grew up on a farm in the Trap Rock Valley and went to Monkeytown school and then to Lake Linden HS. My grandmother would walk some railroad tracks to town to do the shopping. I can still remember the clear, cold water than came from the faucets in the kitchen sink.

Almost a year later and I just found this photo. My first thought was, "What a great tapestry this would make!" Anyone out there got a knack for making grids from photographs? Let me know because I'd love to stitch this and hang it on my wall here in Sydney! Thanks for the photo Rick!
