THE QUARRIES of OROSEI…

The marble quarry in Orosei, Sardinia.

There is some activity and a dusty place to leave the car.

I climb up for a better view.

The massive machines look like mini toys!

THIS IS a closer take, you can see what I mean!

The sheer scale of the quarry is breath taking.

This 50,000 m2 site produces 60,000 tons per year of the finest beige marble in Italy.

Workers use diamond wire saws to make the vertical cuts in the marble blocks and chain cutters are used for horizontal cuts.

Hope this brings a bit of joy again, have a good day and thank you for your visit, so very much appreciated, Magda, (*_*)
