Gold Bullion seeds ready to plant in hopes of growing a good crop for the Smile on Saturday challenge: Shades of Gold.
Happy Saturday!
A sunset shot of the rock shelves of Kimmeridge. The golden sunset light on the block on the right centre of the frame looks like a gold bullion bar! I liked how the "Bar" and rock shelf took my eyes through the frame towards the headland and Clavell's Tower on the far headland.
I took this the week before we went into the Coronavirus lockdown, but that seems such a long time ago now!
This is a superb spot for seascapes on Dorset's Jurassic Coastline with rock ledges and wonderful geological features in the foreground areas for sunrise and sunset. I will definitely return here as I only had this one visit and the sunset was very clear that evening so I tried to use a long exposure using a 10 stop ND Filter.. Stay safe everyone.

A Freeport Mcmoran turn drops down the steep 4-5% grade into Clifton. The train is about 1/2 mile above the run-away track which is located a little over 1/2 way down the Hill. The train consists of empty acid cars and heavy cars of Copper Bullion.... This steep line replaces a slow long line of switchbacks and before that a 3foot narrow gauge line complete with three 360 degree loops.....
Kluane National Park - pronounced Kloo-Wah-Nee - in Canada's Yukon, is probably my favourite all-time backpacking location. Here's my hiking partner, Kluane Bonnie, taking a break above 48-Pup Creek.
In the distance is Red Castle Ridge. Below "our" hill is a deep creek drainage, where waters flow (right to left) from the green plateau and high ridges surrounding it. That's Sheep Creek, and our hike started way down there, to the left, out of the frame. 48-Pup is a tributary creek not visible here, but it's just to the left. At this elevation there were no more trails, and we were following one of those nonexistent trails up Sheep Mountain, which is directly behind me in (or out of) this photo.
It was a splendid, sunny day in August. Rain and fog would move in that night, but at least we were able to pitch the tent when everything was dry. That is so much more pleasant than doing it in the pouring rain. Make a dry camp and then with only a few housekeeping rules you can keep the interior and all your gear dry.
Wildlife that day included lots of Dall Sheep and one Grizzly. We saw the big bear ambling up a slope we had just vacated, about 200 yards away. It was pursuing its bear interests, which did not include us.
You can see another use for the ice axe here - a prop for my pack...
More to come from this amazing place!

Thank you everyone for the views, invites, awards, comments and faves. Have a wonderful week.
Last weekend I had a bullion knot frenzy again. More than 100 bullion knots were laid down individually because I needed to switch colour with every knot I made .. Happy days! :-)
31433 heads south through Doncaster, with what I was told was a bullion working. Any gen would be appreciated.

24ct rubbish too! hahaha
Not a theme for creativity and very hard to get something unique. Although there are one or two stand out shots in the group.
The Perth Royal Mint.
On the corner of Hay Street and Victoria Avenue. Perth, Western Australia.
(Wikipedia)
The Perth Mint is Australia's official bullion mint and wholly owned by the Government of Western Australia. Established on 20 June 1899, two years before Australia's Federation in 1901, the Perth Mint was the last of three Australian colonial branches of the United Kingdom's Royal Mint (after the now-defunct Sydney Mint and Melbourne Mint) intended to refine gold from the gold rushes and to mint gold sovereigns and half-sovereigns for the British Empire. Along with the Royal Australian Mint, which produces coins of the Australian dollar for circulation, the Perth Mint is the older of Australia's two mints issuing coins that are legal tender.
History Swan Perth Mint...
Perth Mint, as a business entity, was established during the 1890s, as a subsidiary of the Royal Mint in the United Kingdom.
The foundation stone of the Mint building was laid in 1896 by Sir John Forrest. The building was officially opened on 20 June 1899. At that time, the population of Western Australia (WA) was growing rapidly (23,000 in 1869 and 180,000 in 1900) due to the discovery of rich gold deposits at Coolgardie, Kalgoorlie and the Murchison region.
The Mint initially served two purposes. Firstly, it minted coins for circulation in WA – this had previously been done externally, and as a result, there had often been insufficient currency in circulation. Secondly, the Mint bought the vast majority of gold mined in WA; at the time, a large proportion of mining was done by "diggers" (prospectors and/or small-scale, independent miners), who had migrated to WA in thousands from other parts of Australia and overseas. Mining businesses were able to sell their raw gold directly to the Mint, where it was made into gold coins and bullion.
Although WA took part in the Federation of the Australian colonies in 1901, the Mint remained under the control of the UK government for a further 69 years. On 1 July 1970, ownership was acquired by the state government of Western Australia, as a statutory authority.
In the 32 years up to 1931, the Perth Mint struck more than 106 million gold sovereigns, and nearly 735,000 half-sovereigns (intermittently between 1900 and 1920), for use as currency in Australia and throughout the British Empire. The Mint stopped making gold sovereigns when Britain abandoned the gold standard in 1931. Nevertheless, the refinery remained busy as staff turned their skills to making fine gold bullion bars. But it was not long before the Perth Mint was involved again in the production of coins. During World War II, the Perth Mint began minting the Australian coinage from base metals. Up until the end of 1983, the Perth Mint also manufactured much of Australia's lower-denomination coin currency.
The Perth Mint achieved "arguably the purest of all gold" in 1957 when the mint produced a 13-troy-ounce (400 g) proof plate of almost six nines. It was verified by the Goldsmiths’ Company and deemed to have results of “nearly 999.999 parts per 1000”. 58 The Royal Mint was so impressed that it ordered some of the gold as the benchmark for its own standards.
The Mint's new direction was formalised in 1987 with the creation of Gold Corporation by a State Act of Parliament. Under a unique agreement with the Commonwealth of Australia's Department of the Treasury, the Perth Mint's new operator was empowered to mint and market gold, silver and platinum Australian legal tender coinage to investors and collectors worldwide. Prime Minister Bob Hawke launched the Australian Nugget Gold Coins Series in 1987. The first day's trading yielded sales of 155 thousand troy ounces (4.8 tonnes) of gold worth A$103 million, well above the sales target of 130 thousand troy ounces (4.0 tonnes) to the end of June.
Up to 2000, the Perth Mint's refined gold output totalling 4.5 thousand tonnes (9.9 million pounds), representing 3.25% of the total weight of gold produced by humankind. This is about the current holdings of gold bullion in the United States Bullion Depository at Fort Knox.
In 2003, the Perth Mint officially opened an 8,400-square-metre (90,000 sq ft) state-of-the-art manufacturing facility next door to its original limestone building.
Looking like rows of gold bars disappearing into the darkness.
This is from the second floor, swimming pool area, of the Hilton Hotel, Adelaide, South Australia .
I did not go for a swim.
Looking straight up they are the balcony like structures under each room.
Hand held at 6400 ISO, 1/250th second.About 90 minutes after sunset.
Nothing is more peaceful than laying down bullion knots. Each time I fall in love with it again and again and again .. :-)
Have a wonderful weekend!
With recent rains the very reddish Bullion mountains and two trees provide a backdrop. As BNSF 6596 and it's entire two car train cruise downhill, as they meet a westbound UPS Z-train just to the east of the crossovers at Siberia. This is from the same spot most railfans go to catch westbound trains in the late afternoon climbing uphill with the Bristol mountains in the background and a sweeping curve to add to the photo.

A trio of BNSF General Electrics pull a train up the hill near Klondike. The background is formed by the Bullion Mountains.

Climbed up to what Wifey called "The Living Room" for a different perspective... I think she wants to live here.
