My Desktop Photo 21: Upper Laberge Village

The leaves are just beginning to turn, so I’ve decided to use a fall photo on my desktop. This was taken in the village of Upper Laberge. I guess you’d call Upper Laberge a ghost town. No one lives there now, but I think it’s used occasionally as a fish camp.

Here are three photos from the Yukon Archives taken in Upper Laberge way back in 1900.

•  A Royal Mail stage stopped in front of C. D. Co. No. 2
  
•  People standing in front of C. D. Co. No. 2
• A man on the snow covered lake beside the village site

That is a really cool picture. I am tempted to "borrow" it.

Feel free to borrow. :)

Pretty as a picture! Your son is an artist with a camera.

I can't believe you have leaves turning. We are still in full summer mode. It is 97 today, sunny and dry. It is a beautiful picture, though.

We are not as far along as things were in this photo. But yes, some leaves are beginning to turn. :)
