Description

Photograph of a man and a woman standing in front of one of the log buildings in Circle, Alaska. A gravel road stretches across the foreground. Beyond it, a 2-story log building stands at center. It is viewed from the front. Antlers hang over the front door. The building appears to be in a state of disrepair; window panes are broken on the second floor. A man and a woman stand in the overgrown grasses in front of the building. They face towards the camera. A dilapidated log cabin stands to the left of the building at center. Another dilapidated cabin stands in the background at right.
