The Wreck of the Edmund Fitzgerald edited by Joseph Fulton
Joseph Fulton put together this amazing tribute to the 29 men who died in the shipwreck of November 10, 1975 aboard the freighter Edmund Fitzgerald in Lake Superior. It's set to The Wreck of the Edmund Fitzgerald by Gordon Lightfoot, and the video is one of the best I've ever seen on YouTube. I hope you can watch it.

Even the Ghosts are Gone
Jeff Westover put together this great montage of photographs from the greater Irish Hills area with the music of The Buzzrats from Ann Arbor to start off Halloween week on Absolute Michigan.
