Things may move a little slower here, but the fresh air, towering pines, and an abundance of wildlife make living "up nort" the dream for many. As a resident of Vilas County, photographer Michael Crowley never takes for granted the beauty he finds right outside his front door. His website and Facebook page are filled with photos of sparkling lakes, spectacular night skies, and an array of forest friends, including white albino deer, that stop by for a visit. You can almost smell the scent of pine and feel the crunch of leaves under your feet as you page through the seasons of this special coffee table book that's filled with a palpable love for the Life in the Northwoods.
