A week ago last Friday, the Pasty Cam featured a super two-way view of an excursion to Manitou Island, past the Gull Rock light. That was an evening shot, today we see the sun's magnificent return to the tip of the Keweenaw Peninsula in a guest photo by Alex Protzel of Copper Harbor.

How beautifu.. What a way to begin a Sunday morning and a new week.

Thanks for the great photos.....It's always a pick me up since being away from the U.P. and Deployed overseas with the Navy

It's scenes like this that make me want to move to the UP more than ever!

In case anyone was curious about the picture details. It was about 7:15 a.m. The sun was low on the horizon for only about 5 minutes. I used a sony megapixel (1152x 864) digicam. I was on a quick site seeing trip to both lighthouses out here by Keweenaw point.

I've told people that living up here is the "top of the world". That morning it certainly felt true.

I hope everyone enjoys the photo and thank you to pasty.com for doing what they do.

WHAT A TRIP! THAT DIGI-PIC BY A.P. ON THE KEWEENAW TIP! IT'S SO BEAUTIFUL UP IN THE U.P. I AM PLANNING TO SKIP A MONTH PERIOD, AND SEE A MYRIAD OF LIGHTHOUSES IF YOU THINK THE PYRAMIDS GREAT, JUST WAIT... I'LL BE STOPPING BY THE HARBOR HAUS AGAIN SAVE ME A PLATE. THE COPPER COUNTRY, MICHIGAN STATE. OH, I CAN RELATE MY ROOTS ARE THERE SAFE FROM HATE. AT ANY RATE, YOU'RE FREE TO WAKE AND PACK BAIT. IF THEY AREN'T BITING LIKE THE SMOKED SALMON I ATE, JAMSEN'S FISH MARKET HAS WALLEYE BY THE CRATE...

Thanks for the great photos. Wonderful pics of the UP sure make me want to get back to the UP and out of the heat of Texas.

Hey Alex,
This is your brother. Good to see that you are soaking up the UP magnificence and sharing this with other people (mom taught you well). Yes, Lake Superior and the UP skyline are always a treat. Every year I take more pictures of the same, but it only seems to be getting better. I am stuck downstate fully involved in rat race duties. I plan a break in mid September and I will join you to venture out on the water and through the woods. A trip to Porters island is mandatory. Prime the air raid siren and rally the troops. Post some Porters island sunset pix, Alex.

Cya,

Hi Alex,
This is your dad. Beautiful picture. Makes me want to take a trip to see the Gull Rock Lighthouse at sunset. I really enjoyed the great pictures in this web page. Touch base with you later. Dad.

Hi Alex,
It's indeed a great picture, and I just hope I'll have the occasion of appreciating the many other photos you will take. Your cousins Mónica and Silvia are also interested in photography. Congratulations,
Uncle Javier.

I'm speechless....Gods creation is amaizing

Alex,
It's Trevor... I hope you still read this. Drop me a line when you get a chance, I want to catch up with you. Hope you got home safe. Peace.

Trevor
