On 7th January 17 people started digging on the site next to Carter's House at the entrance to the Valley of the Kings. They are involved in the important task of preserving the tombs in the Theban Necropolis. An exact facsimile of the tomb of Tutankhamun will open to visitors next spring.

The project has been funded by Factum Foundation.

is serious buisness! Laser digs holes to find things/bury treasures. Anna digs hole to lay in. She is quite the frantic digger, as you can see here......

 

I'd come home for lunch today and while inside the house I heard this banging noise on the side of the house. I looked Looked out the window and it was Anna.... working!

Three small figures stand beside a small hole in the earth, in the garden beside Christ Church Spitalfields. This was the fourth of the installations that we found on the treasure hunt.

Although am aiming to do 'no dig' on the site, with a heady mix of compacted soil and zillions of deep rooted docks and other delights, have resorted to clearing the soil fully first before the mulch of manure.

She loves digging when she feels crazy!

There was a lot of noise below our bedroom this morning as a large and noisy crew were digging a hole in the road in order to supply natural gas for heating to the house next door.

Spent the day chiselling chunks of wayward concrete from beneath the fence, chopping up the cement base exposed when the flags were lifted, gathering up the gravel from the troughs either side of the garden and digging soil that backs up against the breeze block pen.

 

It's donkey work, but it will open things up. The garden is shaping up nicely.

This is from North Princeton Developmental Center...I wanted to see the smoke effect with tone mapping, so I found a shovel and posed.

During the winter, honey bees consume honey to generate heat. Carbon dioxide gas and water vapor result from metabolizing honey. Carbon dioxide is heavier than air and it settles to the bottom of the hive and flows out the bottom entrance. The warm moist air rises from the cluster hitting the cold inner cover causing condensation. This condensation drips down upon the bees as ice-cold water. The dripping water can have a negative effect upon the delicate exchange of food and warmth. Proper ventilation of the hive is necessary to keep the colony dry. Top entrances allow water vapor to escape and provide the bees a second exit. #savethebees #beekeeping #beekeeperlife #beekeepers #apricutores #apiary #backyardbeekeeping #beehive #honeybees #bienenvolk #imkerin #imkerei #idahome #thisisboise #damniloveboise #iamboise

Found this shovel today among my daughter's toys and could not resist to abuse Barbie again for this shot...

Several years ago we purchased a wonderful piece of land in the untouched hills above the city where I was born. Summer days are sooooo hot here and the sun is strong so this year during our visit to Montenegro we decided to try to find water and build a well.

I was surprised to learn that my high school math teacher is also a well-known and successful “water-finder” in the area. He uses the principles of radiesthesia. First he surveyed the lot with the brass dowsing pendulum and then he used two L-shaped brass wire rods. He managed to locate about 7 “water spots" and then marked the strongest one for us to start digging. www.google.com/imgres?imgurl=http://diviningmind.com/stor...

At that particular spot he estimated that there are 4 water runs that are meeting at depth of 7-7.5m underground. So we started digging.

"Digging For Victory". Probably taken somewhere near Minster Lovell, Oxfordshire c1940 (the spires in the background are certainly the city of Oxford -- I think that that's Tom Tower at Christchurch College just right of centre).

 

The area where the man is digging was given over to be used as garden allotments so that local people could grow their own vegetables during the deprivations of WWII
