This looks so unreal! I would love to know more about this structure. I am thinking it must be tidal, but the shoreline beyond doesn’t look to be as drastic as this structure appears for the tide rising. Are those stilts on the bottom with some kind of stone blocks in the middle?

This really intrigues me and if you could let us know that would be great.

A great shot!

Cool shot. The ladder is inviting. Where is this in (Alaska?)?

I love the “apocalyptic” feeling of this shot, especially with the forest in the background.

Fabulous and mysterious image. This shot raises so many questions. While I would love more information there is something nice in not knowing any more about this ruin.

This is absolutely fantastic! The fog, the waterfall in the background, the small bird in the forefront, the magnificent ruin!!!

Would love to know more about this location and the history of the ruin!!

I can’t stop looking at this house. Too many questions are coming in my brain - it’s so spooky looking….smile…But I love the colors.

This is a fantastic shot…and located just down the street from my house in Juneau. We are actually located on Douglas Island and this beach is lovingly know to locals as Sandy Beach. My dog and I walk by this structure almost daily! This was the original site of the Treadwell Mine, and at one time was the biggest town site in Alaska. As you can see only mere ruins are left. Beach combing you can find large pieces of plates from the company kitchen. This is a very magical place, well done for capturing it so beautifully!! Obviously Dagny is from Juneau!

I would sure love to have taken this photo… WOW - How come I never come across anything like this? Just one question, how close were you when you took this? Were you in the water?
