Where Fox River, Upper Peninsula, Michigan
When 1996
Photographer Jay Dickman

"Late September in Michigan's Upper Peninsula can be a time of gray mists and steady rain. The deciduous trees—maple, aspen, crab apple, birch—have begun to turn; but in a wet year their colors are more muted: umber, ocher, russet, and mustard."

(Text from and photograph shot on assignment for, but not published in, "Hemingway’s Many Hearted Fox River," June 1997, National Geographic magazine)
