Unfrozen | Erica Miller
This is a love letter to the great land. After the gold has been extracted and the trees harvested; what remains of industry, the grand machinery of human endeavor, ambition and toil, sinks into the gentle embrace of earth. So prevalent in Alaska, the rusting iron of the past is beautiful somehow. Wrecked and abandoned now, it seems to belong, becoming a part of the forgiving landscape, a witness to the passage of time. It is a story of history and decay, of nature's reclaiming force, accepting the encroachment of age on all things.
