On a recent return trip home, Barbara Bouwkamp decided to stop at the Bishop Baraga Shrine on Keweenaw Bay, to stretch her legs, before continuing the last of the miles to Calumet. She said it was a bit eerie to be there all by herself at dusk like that and could hear cats meowing. She was hoping there were some kittens nearby, rather than a bigger, scarier type of cat. Luckily she didn’t have the opportunity to find out. But what a beautiful capture of the scene she made.

Her second shot was just an interesting photo op she came across in her travels. I think those are Poplar and Birch trees with an interesting lay of some Birch that have fallen.

Nancy Haun, the admin over on the Bishop Baraga Shrine Facebook page shares a video she made of a portion of the 13 acres next to the Shrine, that the Bishop Baraga Foundation was able to purchase last year. The Foundation hopes to utilize it in the future for a possible Chapel and trails to enhance the Shrine property.

I learned somewhere that when birch trees grow in clumps as you can observe in the video, it means there was a fire or damage when there was but one small sapling. The result is multiple trunks growing from the same root.

Eerie video. Reminds me of the movie The Blair Witch Project.

The first shot is beautiful. And the new land looks like the White Birch Forest in Pictured Rocks ~ hope they can keep most of the trees when they do the construction.
