OUR COVER STORY

Is it a painting or is it a photograph? Whatever it is, the image of the sailboat dory on Lake Fanny Hooe in Michigan's Keweenaw Peninsula elicits a strong sense of freedom, relaxation and solitude. It is a photo (by Steve Brimm) and it does herald our major article on the Keweenaw, beginning on page 26.
