Well, three posts in and I am breaking the rules. This post has no art. But it has dogs! And history! What caught my eye this time was photographs, specifically these pictures taken in the B.C. Gold Rush town of Barkerville (it's an historic site! I want to visit there!)
So, this is an awesome image - I call it "the ghost dog one".
Cattle drive time - this awesome dog is front and centre.
Love this one because of the fluffy white dog sitting happily up on the stoop of the Tin Shop.
Street scene in Barkerville - dog walking down the centre
Dog in the foreground, chilling on the boardwalk.
Now, the town was not called "Barkerville" after all the dogs (lol?) but rather after William Barker, who staked a huge claim and the town built up around it. The town was founded in 1862, and is a National Historic Site of Canada today. Another one to add to the bucket list.
