My grandma used to live on the top floor of the Harbor Towers appartments. I always liked to use her binoculars and look out on the lake and the city when we went there. This takes me back there.
Do people really have an appreciation for this beauty? as the saying goes;beauty's in the eye of the beholder,and only those who have peace in their heart and live in harmony with nature have indeed an appreciation for this beauty.
@FrozenVulcan I forgive. The reason why I chose this as my username. Been called it so many times I'm PROUD to be a Cracker. But, I don't or want to hate on anybody.
@FrozenVulcan .You might have removed your comment. But not from my heart. I woke up to this on a sunday morning. Somebody calling me a whore and a peice of shit (dummy cant spell) I before E. Because of my username I Hope you don't live in Michigan. Just because of my username? That's no reason to hate on me.
@FrozenVulcan..If you think you are so much better. "Dont be a dumb whore... I only say this because of your choice of username, you peice of shit." I before E you PIECE OF SHIT
Michigan is Home. I left.. once.. had to come back home to Michigan. I have friends out of state and all they talk about is Michigan. The wanting of being back here in Michigan. You just don't know until you leave it .. What a beautifull state this is!!!
And not one single picture of a delicious Pasty smothered in ketchup? Remake this video, and next time, don't forget the Pasties!... Har Har, just kiddin'. Good video, and a very nice, soothing song.

I was born in Escanaba and raised in Nahma, my parents moved us away when i was ten. There isn't a day that goes by that i don't wish i was back up there. I hope to return for good some day, if not ,...at least i want my ashes spread at the docks in Nhama........greg
@om3gadagg3r ha from the looks of your 1 vid u live right in the middle of the shit hole. didnt say i hated the town even tho i dont love it theres no denying it is a acual shit hole
@om3gadagg3r Well in the terms of absolutely nothing being here it is a shit hole.. why would anyone move from a city where there is actual life to a dead end town like this... theres just nothing here as far as jobs, or anything to do.
@420HighAllTheTime420 I understand what you are saying. In Cali there is tons to do, everything is always open. The money is there but the cost of living is higher too. I was born in the UP and my time living in LA, and a few other places has shown me where life is good. I do miss the mexican food though :P
simply beaytifull i miss going to ishpeming to see my grandparents and going to marquette to eat at the congress pizza place. and takin pics by old-ish good times
I am from the UP and miss it dearly. Grandmother lived in L&M trailer park by fairgrounds. I miss going to the Ludington House yum yum :) Thank you for the beautiful pics. Now in AZ
there just can't be a more beautiful place than this( I mean Michigan upper and lower) I feel lucky to have been born here just think it could be worse we could of been born in Indiana or Ohio! God bless Michigan!
all you people from the u.p. saying that the l.p. sucks and all that bullshit and that you want to be a part of wisconsin, where is your michigan pride, the reason michigan is so unique is for the two parts of michigan and the culture, you guys are hating on your home state. im from the l.p. and i think they both have great things that make michigan and michiganders what they are today. Fuck the haters!
@Mortskcab Alger county is beautiful. Also, you must not have seen the rest of the LP. Northern lower peninsula is one of the more beautiful, awesome places in the entire state. So many awesome things to see and do outdoors. so quit making fucking assumptions or just stay in minnesota.
@Mortskcab I live in DETROIT....no shit it has a bad rep, thats what you get with the highest crime rate. but there are actually good parts of the city contrary to popular belief, and it's getting better. Joke? I don't think so. You're thinking of Cleveland. The fact that you think it ruins the entire lower peninsula KILLS your whole argument because you couldn't be further from the truth.
WOW...how enchanting! Makes me beam with pride to be apart of something, that I am so very proud to be apart of. Who is the singer please, and name of this song? Thank you!
Nice video, I live just outside Escanaba and think it's one of the most beautiful places in the country. Are you by any chance related to Dana Lemire?
Hi peppyspet, Dana must be a relative of the Doctors and Lawyers who live here. I am very distantly related...like back in the 1700's. I have lived here in Escanaba most of my life minus 2 years. My Lemires come from Marquette. My Mom's side is from this area.
Hi Bud can you tell me who the Native American artist is making the music? I would very much like to look up some more of her music. Your video is fantastic, the images are stunning and the song carries an important message of hope. Very well done! Peace.
Excellent pictures and music, Bud. I posted it at my blog, All Things Michigan. I was up in Escanaba about two summers ago and it was lovely as always. Wish I had time to get up to the U.P. this year. Guess I'll just have to watch your video again :).
Very well done. I would love to see some work on the hundreds of waterfalls that we have up here. Praise the Lord and pass the Beer and Pasties. Good Job Bud.
I might have chosen a different song, maybe a wordless song, and may have made the "swipes" a little fancier, but good for the photos and good to get the word out.
It looks beautiful, a lot like Maine.
