derelict



Dawson City is an interesting place. Sometimes it looks like the gold rush is alive and well with all the touristy brightly coloured false front buildings and then you'll take a second glance and see how many buildings were abandoned when the gold was gone. Since then they have been ignored until they have been condemned and are literally falling apart. Its a pretty amazing to see a house that has for the most part been uninhabited for a hundred years, for some reason that makes me feel more connected to jack London than his over manicured cabin in the woods.
