Barkerville Historic Town

In 1861, a miner named Billy Barker arrived in the region, along with a wave of prospectors from all over North America and the world. While here, Barker struck a fabulously rich pay streak. As a result, in 1862, Barkerville was born, helping set the stage for the settlement of British Columbia and its eventual confederation with Canada.

I love this gallery very much. The mostly B&W rendition here is not only very pleasing and fitting but it lends a powerful impact of the gallery. Voted!
