The Dinorwic quarry is a large former slate quarry, now home to the Welsh National Slate Museum, located between the villages of Llanberis and Dinorwig in North Wales. It was the second largest slate quarry in Wales, indeed in the world, after the neighbouring Penrhyn quarry near Bethesda.
It covered more than 700 acres (283 ha) consisting of two main quarry sections with 20 galleries in each and a number of ancillary workings. Extensive internal tramway systems connected the quarries using inclines to transport slate between galleries.
Fred photographed this series of photos (15 Nov 2011) of a Blue banded bee starting to dig a burrow. The bee allowed us to move around it and take photos using a flash. She seemed quite happy for us to be there.
Here she is keeping an eye on us and starting to dig in. She had used her head to push the gray sand rock (in bottom left corner) out of the way.

This bee appears to be a different species than those shown in a previous photo.
Rochdale is currently undergoing central works. It has claimed to be home to the widest bridge in Europe after the industrial Roch was covered in the town centre in 1908.
Now work is afoot to allow the now clean river to be seen in the Town Centre (at The Butts).
This summer evening shot shows the Town Hall to advantage. The pretty colours in the foreground are, of course, not flowers but reinforcement bar markers. I knew you'd like it!
I saw this kid digging in the sand when we went to Vancouver to watch some random fireworks. He seemed to be making some irrigation canals. It's good to see the young taking an interest in agriculture.
... is great fun. If you have found the first, you can't stop picking them up from the beach. And another and another and another and so on ... :-)
Am Strand nach Olivinen zu suchen, ist ein großer Spaß. Einmal angefangen, kann man nicht mehr aufhören. Und noch einen, und noch einen, und noch einen, und so weiter ... :-)
