From June 5 to 10, 2019 my wife and I visited the edge of the land fast ice at Pond Inlet in Nunavut, northern Canada. Here's our group photo from the end of the trip, guides and participants arrayed before one of the trusty Komatiks that carried us across the frozen sea. Photo by Adam Walleyn, leader of our Eagle-eye Tours expedition.
I was just hanging around the kitchen and decided to grab some shots of the flower arrangement Becky got for her birthday...
Detail of one small section of the gigantic Rio Tinto -- Kennecott open pit copper mine. To see more of this huge mine check out the album here: www.flickr.com/photos/19779889@N00/albums/72157627780868214
About the Mine
• Kennecott's Bingham Canyon Mine has produced more copper than any mine in history - about 18.7 million tons.
• The mine is 2-3/4 miles across at the top and 3/4 of a mile deep. You could stack two Sears Towers (now known as the Willis Building) on top of each other and still not reach the top of the mine.
• If you stretched out all the roads in the open pit mine, you'd have 500 miles of roadway - enough to reach from Salt Lake City to Denver.
• You could lay the soccer field at Rio Tinto Stadium in Sandy, Utah end to end more than 38 times across the top of the Bingham Canyon Mine before it would reach both sides.
• The elevation of the Bingham Canyon Mine drops from 8,040 feet above sea level to 4,390 feet above sea level. The Visitors Center is located at 6,440 feet above sea level.
About the Equipment
• The giant electric shovels in the mine can scoop up as much as 98 tons in a single bite -- about the weight of 50 cars.
• The newest electric shovels each cost more than $20 million and weigh 3.2 million pounds.
• The trucks that haul the ore are larger than many houses and weigh more than a jumbo jet. They stand over 23 feet tall and can carry from 255 to 360 tons of rock.
• The truck driver rides about 18 feet above the ground -- nearly two stories high.
• Each tire on these big trucks costs from $18,000 to $26,000 and lasts just 9 months.
• The crusher in the pit takes in about 140,000 tons of ore every day and grinds it into chunks smaller than the size of a basketball.
• At 1,215 feet tall, the Kennecott smokestack is the highest structure in Utah.

This photo shows how the kittiwakes live and breed in large, noisy colonies around our coast line, as you approach you are met with deafing cries of 'Kitt-ee-wayke -Kitt-ee-wake' this is also where there name is derived from, to me they have always been the 'elegant looking' gull, they are beautifull looking And this was taken at bempton where thousands nest.
Infinity Pool of Marina Bay Sands Integrated Resort is located on the 57th storey, offering a fantastic view of the Singapore skyline while relaxing in the pool.
Originally the leading edge of this prop was a smooth casting with a splendid ,smooth paint layer.
After many years of exposure to small particles of dust & grit picked up while taxiing, the leading edge is now stripped of its paint and finely pitted.
one from one of my photography workshop this time up on Curbar Edge, we'd been up at 4am for the sunrise which had been a quite gentle affair but also decided on making the most of the fine weather and shoot the sunset as well.
There was no breeze at Curbar Edge so the midges were out in force making it difficult to concentrate on the job in hand, but we won through in the end capturing some lovely warm light on the edge as the sun filtered through a thin layer of cloud.(1/20 f6.3 @ 12mm 0.9 + 0.6 reverse ND grad filters)
A view that has change and no longer possible from platform four of Edge Hill Station. BR Class 40, No 40057 has one Railfreight van in tow probably to or from Aintree while class mate No 40079 is parked up but likely to be the train loco for the Redbank empty parcels / newspaper train. In the background is now demolished Spekeland Road Goods Depot. Even the high rise flat building has also disappeared. 1st June 1984. (013.001)
