Draw down the sun, boil up the gold. The impulse to relieve a winter valley of permanent shadow and find precious metal in alluvial gravel are part of a long history of desire and extraction in the northern Canadian landscape. Cancan dancers, curlers, smelters, ex city officials and a curious cliff-side mirrored disc congregate to form a Yukon town portrait.
