Default Twin Peaks

Twin Peaks

I wanted to share this one because there is a certain similarity between the peaks of these bunk house roofs and the mountain peaks in the background and it makes me wonder if the old mine workers built them with this in mind. Alaska, what a mystical place.

By viewing your shots i get only a small glimpse of what Alaska looks like. I'd like to think Alaska is one of the last true wildernesses on this earth and i hope it stays that way. Thanks for sharing, i enjoy seeing shots of remote places that are not seen often.

What an interesting capture! You know I just bet the miners who built them did notice the peaks and mirrored them. Well composed and presented
Thanks for Sharing these

Oh yeah it's summer but it's been a record breaker with temps reaching into the 90's. Thanks for the note.
