While in the UP (Michigan's Upper Peninsula) this year, in addition to wanting to make jam, I wanted to check out the remaining shaft houses. As time passes, there are fewer and fewer of these buildings remaining. So, I went out and took pictures of three of them. I think there is at least one more that I missed -- maybe more.
Next time .. maybe I'll have more time to look for more old buildings and ruins .. hopefully.

I love this post! The pictures are beautiful and very touching. Thank you so much for sharing!!
Great photos!
I wish I had gone to see the Centennial Shafts they look cool. Were the hoist houses still there.
@Kathy, thanks! @Katie, no, I don't think there are any hoist houses. The other one, I think, is Painesdale. We'll have to see it next time.
I really enjoyed seeing your pictures. I love old buildings and I think you have a particular eye for photographing them.
These would look great in black and white and framed for a wall.
