Bucket-Wheel Excavator

The sun was just rising while we were already entering a forbidden area somewhere in Eastern Germany. This mining mega machine was already visible from many miles away since it’s towering above everything in the proximity. To call this bucket-wheel excavator “giant” would be an understatement. The dimensions are just overwhelming. It seems like a whole factory on wheels!
