oh my, when I think of the homeless here and those crammed into tiny little flats. If I lived there, I would buy one and do it up. Looks gorgeous to me. When did the russian fur traders stop coming? I find Alaska very interesting. I had an american poet friend, she was the last of some red indian tribe and besides writing a book, which I lent to someone who never returned it, outlining the path of Siberians in Alaska and then down USA, she convinced me that as a Hungarian, fifth generation directly from the urals, the red indians were closer to me than the chinese in fact. THEN I began really to look into where and who! and learnt a lot of surprises.

Thank you so very much for your thoughtful review, Alaska was purchased from Russia by the United States on March 30, 1867, our then Secretary of State, William Seward, made the deal and Alaska was bought for 7.2 million dollars.

The black and white is ideal for the scenery. It adds a nostalgic touch, like an old newspaper photo. I like that you have captured the weeds in the foreground. It intensifies the impression of abandonment.

This looks so good in black and white. So much detail in there, and there's a forlorn look about the scene. A timely reminder of how it was before we came along. Very expressive work.

Reminds me of my younger years living out in the country near old farm houses and barns even for black and white it shows good depth and the shadows help define the structure.
A very nice photo

Pat, This is aa well shot image of the shack showing good detail and is well focused. I think the black and white works. That being said, I don't think this is as interesting a shot as many of the others of old buildings that you have posted. Not sure if it is the angle, the setting or what, but it doesn't make me want to linger. Well seen.

Pat,
A beautiful & atmospheric picture of this 200 year old wooden house/shack....showing that the wood was well seasoned & preserved to last so long out in your harsh winter climate..I'm sure if walls could talk there are many stories these walls could tell. Beautiful composition, framing & lighting taken with superb camera techniques & converted to black & white in line with it's history..I can almost see a bearded gentleman peering out through the shutters!

Comment from Daphne Oberon
It is hard to know what to say about this! It is a good photograph taken on a brooding cloudy day I think, yet sunlight comes in from behind you. The use of the round barrel on a stand does interest my curiosity a bit. Thanks for sharing. Have a great day! Daphne Oberon

Thanks so much! The barrel is an oil barrel, the home is heated by an oil furnace.
