Actually, Pat, I can imagine living a lot of places, but not here. As beautiful as it is, the cold and isolation would do me in. But you have captured the beauty and majesty of the scene and shown us what it must have been like to work that mine.

Comment from Montana Shooter
BBRRRR! I enjoy winter but I think I wouldn't like living in those conditions mining for gold.
You mentioned that you have some close ups of the buildings, but this view really gives the sense of isolation on the mountain. Nicely done.

Thank you so very much for your thoughtful review! Yes, I have posted just one building and a closer shot of the buildings here minus the surroundings.
Comment from Monica Morrell
Wow I couldn't even imagine the harsh conditions. I wonder if there is any gold left in those magical mountains.
I guess I will stay poor. I don't like to be cold.
A nice educational write to go with your beautiful photo.
Well done!

Comment from Dick Lee Shia
Literally a cool capture!
Chilling coldness is palpable.
Snow covered mount...
Dramatic interplay between lights and shades casting soft highlights & faint shadows.
Good perspective & long depth of field...
Thanks for sharing...

Comment from Linda Engel
You have given us a great perspective of the mountains compared to the tiny dwellings in the shadows. You wondered just how they managed to stay warm, if at all, during the cold winters. That gold must have been worth it. Do they still allow mining in Alaska?
Your photo is bright, clear and in wonderful focus. very nice.

Wow! Thank you so very very much my dear friend! I really appreciate your wonderful review and this six star rating! As far as I know they still mine for gold , I know they still pan for gold, for mining they have to stake a claim , I?ll have to check into that.
Comment from seshadri_sreenivasan
Awesome capture of a historic place . Just looking at it makes me catch cold!:) The abandoned buildings give scale to the white capped mountains. The light and shadows, colours and the composition have worked out well. Good effort!

It's truly interesting and very impressive,my friend!
