A wooded, rocky shoreline curves into a broad lake, with low hills on the far horizon beneath a cloudy sky. The greeting names Iron River, in Michigan's Upper Peninsula, a community tied to iron mining in the early twentieth century. The surrounding lakes and woods were part of the landscape of that mining district.
