Grave digger, grave digger
Send me on my way
Release me to this earth
Within this shallow grave
Grave digger, grave digger
Bring me to my knee
Forget what I have done
Forgive me if you please
Save me if you can
The time for me has come
Let me be the one that got away
Grave digger, grave digger
Slowly fill my grave
Whisper to your God
Allow me to be saved
"Why drive when you can walk?" was the slogan that went with Llwyngwril Systems' sales campaign for it's high-mobility construction machines. Strangely, it wasn't very successful. Later enquiries established that the Marketing Department of Sirius Cybernetics had created the slogan and we all know what happened to them!

This was built after I came home from riding my bike in Coed y Brenin. My regular loop includes a section called "Big Dug", that was named after the machine used to create it.
There are more photo over on Instagram.
Again another from the digger graveyard. i was origionally going to set up a massive stack but the weather turned and alot of cloud came in from the left of the frame. Nevermind!
Defiant Lily. She will dig a hole when ever or where ever she wants. She could care less that I'm right in front of her.
Whilst out looking at some old boat wrecks I came across this old digger outside a boatyard.
It was a daytime shot but I like old rusty objects so photographed it but have turned it into a night scene.
A Great Golden Digger Wasp flies away from a bloom. Reportedly these beasts aren't as fierce as they look – but I'm not about to test that theory.
Another shot of my Cairn Terrier, Digger! He's cooling his heels on some concrete on a warm day in August last year. He will be 5 years old July 9. He's the best 'little pal' a person could have. A hearty working breed originally from the Highland's of Scotland. They still work farms in Scotland routing out the vermin like foxes, rats, badger's and other small critters that can be a bother to the farmers fields. These dogs are fearless to a fault and battle to the end, never giving up the fight.
3 Environment Agency Diggers sit on the Promenade at Sutton on Sea to clear away the sand from the Beast from the East.
The Victorian Goldfields were part of the settlement of Australia. The gold rush brought in floods of people from all over the world including miners from China. Many of the policies implemented to control the rush led to miners trekking overland for huge distances to escape taxes. The Eureka Stockade highlighted many problems. The flood of Chinese miners in Victoria and later in Queensland led directly to the White Australia Policy, something which was not rolled back for a long time and instituted widespread racism and other social consequences.
This montage is based on the landscape at Heathcote plus a miners photo from Trove.
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Victorian_gold_rush
"In the 1850s gold discoveries in Victoria, in Beechworth, Castlemaine, Daylesford, Ballarat and Bendigo sparked gold rushes similar to the California Gold Rush.[6] At its peak, some two tonnes of gold per week flowed into the Treasury Building in Melbourne.
The gold exported to Britain in the 1850s paid off all of Britain's foreign debts and helped lay the foundation of her enormous commercial expansion in the latter half of the century."
I made a set of this roll series. Watch it as a slideshow manually advancing through the images as fast as you like to get a movie. : )
Passed this digger left above Glen Affric - the hydro guys are working there at the moment. I thought it looked a bit surreal up there all on its own.
