Jharia (Inde) - Comme pour la photo précédente, nous sommes dans le village sans nom. Un village oublié des cartes. Un village nomade qui change régulièrement de place quand les compagnies minières décident d’étendre leur périmètre d’exploitation.
les habitations sont juste tolérées sur le terrain qui appartient aux sociétés exploitantes. Quand il faut partir, bon gré, mal gré, on démonte les abris de fortune pour aller les reconstruire plus loin.
Sur cette photo deux hommes chargent du charbon qui a été mis en sacs après le craquage, une opération qui consiste à brûler partiellement le minerai pour le fissurer. Processus qui permettra une meilleure combustion pour une utilisation domestique.
Une fois chargés, les sacs seront livrés dans les petits commerces de la région.
- Il est à noter que cette partie du bidonville était enveloppée dans un nuage de fumée de charbon réduisant le contraste de la scène.
Delivery service
Jharia (India) - As for the previous photo, we are in the unnamed village. A village forgotten on the maps which regularly changes place when mining companies decide to extend their operating scope.
The village is just tolerated on the land which belongs to the operating companies. When it is necessary to leave, willingly or unwillingly, the inhabitants become nomads by dismantling their makeshift shelters to rebuild them further away.
In this photo two men are loading coal which has been bagged after cracking, an operation which consists of partially burning the ore to crack it. Process which will allow better combustion for domestic use.
Once loaded, the bags will be delivered to small businesses in the region.
Varanasi (Inde) - On ne va pas se raconter d’histoires, le travail des enfants est toujours une réalité en Inde. Ce jeune garçon qui s’occupe des finitions, ne fait pas exception à la règle, mais il travaille dans l’atelier familial. Il ne se cache pas. De toute façon si l’atelier avait été clandestin, on ne m’aurait pas autorisé à le photographier.
J’ai passé une dizaine de jours dans une guest-house du quartier et le matin, il m’arrivait d’apercevoir ce gamin partir à l’école. En raison des places limitées dans les établissements publics, les enfants sont scolarisés, le matin ou l’après-midi. Lui, l’après-midi, il était dans l’atelier. Plus tard il reprendra l'atelier de son père. Mais j’ai aussi des photos qui démontrent que l’exploitation et la maltraitante des enfants est toujours d’actualité.
Small hands
Varanasi (India) - We are not going to tell stories, child labor is still a reality in India. This young boy, who takes care of the finishing touches, is no exception, but he works in the family workshop. He is not hiding. Anyway, if the workshop had been underground, I wouldn't have been allowed to photograph it.
I spent ten days in a local guesthouse and in the morning I saw this kid go to school. Due to limited places in public establishments, children attend school in the morning or afternoon. Him, the afternoon, he was in the workshop. But I also have photos that show that the exploitation and abuse of children is still a reality.

Europe, The Netherlands, Zuid Holland, Rotterdam, Hoek van Holland, Line B, North Sea, Hoek van Holland Strand Station, Turnstiles (slightly cut from T)
The former 'Hoekse Lijn'—the NS railway line Rottedam-Hoek van Holland—has been converted to light rail and is now an integral part of the Rotterdam metro system. The line, which is being exploited by the Rotterdam municipal public transit organization RET, is now called 'Line B' (Hoek van Holland to Nesselande).
Like the other western stations of this line, Hoek van Holland Strand (Beach), the terminus, was designed by Marc Verheijen of Municipal Works Rotterdam (Gemeentewerken Rotterdam). He used colours to create stylistic unity. Along the line, he presents the voyager with different shades of yellow and red. The specific colour scheme (and in this case the texture too) of the terminus station shown here is meant to refer to the beach (and the sunset).
This is number 739 of the Rotterdam architecture Rotterdam architecture album and 37 of Metro stations.
Les carrières à ciel ouvert existaient à l’époque gallo-romaine aux endroits ou la couche superficielle est la moins épaisse. L’exploitation se faisait en extrayant de plus en plus profondément jusqu’à atteindre la meilleure qualité. De là on creusait des galeries en suivant les meilleurs bancs. Les carriers laissaient des piliers aux endroits fissurés plus que par raison de sécurité. Les salles souterraines pouvaient atteindre plusieurs mètres de profondeur. Les enfants avaient la charge d’évacuer les débris invendables en les entassant à l’intérieur de la carrière. Les blocs étaient inspectés et vendus sur place puis évacués par des chevaux ou des bœufs attelés jusqu’au port ou ils étaient chargés sur les embarcations à voile et à fond plat.
DB 628 705, Eppelborn (ligne Lebach - Illingen), 28 Octobre 2012.
Le 628 705 assure le premier RB Lebach - Saarbrücken de la journée, qui quitte ici Eppelborn, le matin du 28/10/2012. L'embranchement à gauche sur la photo a servi, dans le passé, notamment au déchargement de transformateurs pour les centrales électriques de la région. Les VT628, spécialistes de cette desserte depuis des décennies, s'effaceront définitivement de cette relation le 14 Décembre 2019, la DB ayant perdu la concession pour l'exploitation de la desserte régionale sur cette ligne au profit de VLEXX à partir du SA2020.
Dead Sea salts and minerals have long been exploited for their skin-friendly properties. While swimming, the extreme salinity will help you discover cuts you never knew you had (don’t shave beforehand), and be prepared for a few minutes of agony if any water gets in your eyes. 'Swimming’ is actually a misnomer – the buoyancy makes it difficult to do much more than happily bob.
The northeast coast is lined with luxury resorts. Here you can enjoy a spa treatment, watch the sunset across the water and look across to the West Bank and the distant lights of Jerusalem.
The Dead Sea is also an easy day trip from Amman or Madaba.
Changde Rd. and W. Nanjing Rd., Shanghai
In the day or two following the demonstrations, Shanghai experienced a sharp drop in temperature and rain. On the 29th, between two heavy showers, the sky was dark and dreary, the streets were empty and sparsely populated by pedestrians, with police cars parked on many street corners and some streets filled with temporary recruits on duty to prevent new demonstrations, while Gucci's LED screens played their usual lavish and unrealistic advertisements.
The anger of the demonstrations and protests did not infect everyone. Just a short distance away from the blockade, youths steeped in consumerism were still relaxing and having fun. This is partly due to the blockade of information by the authorities, and partly due to the fact that thirty years of condoning and exploiting consumerism and suppressing social autonomy have created a large group of people who are indifferent to the fate of others.
On the night of 26 November 2022, a demonstration took place in Middle Wulumuqi (Urumqi) Road, Shanghai in memory of the victims of the fire in Wulumuqi (Urumqi), Xinjiang, the casualties of which were caused by the building being locked up as a result of absurd anti-epidemic measures which made it impossible for residents to escape. The police ended up arresting many of the demonstrators and loading three police buses:

On the evening of the 27th, a large area of the neighbourhood where the demonstration took place last night was suddenly blocked off, allowing only people to leave and not enter, perhaps to prevent further demonstrations from gathering there.. A large number of people gathered at the intersections of the blocked-off neighbourhoods, which gradually festered into a new demonstration.
The demonstration on the night of the 27th:

Sprimocoop est copropriétaire d’un parc éolien de 5 machines.
Concrètement, la société d’exploitation des 5 machines appartient pour 3/4 au développeur (VENTIS), le quart restant se partageant en deux parties égales entre la commune de Sprimont et Sprimocoop.
Les éoliennes sont situées au Nord de l’autoroute E25, de part et d’autre de la nationale 678 qui relie Sprimont à Louveigné.
Les cinq machines sont identiques. Ce sont des Nordex N117/3600 Delta. Chacune a une puissance maximum de 3,6 mégawatts (3.600 kW) et fournit de la puissance tant que le vent a une vitesse comprise entre 10 et 75 km/h.
Chaque mât mesure une centaine de mètres de haut et supporte une nacelle qui contient un alternateur connecté à l’axe d’une énorme hélice à trois pales en composite polyester-fibre de verre d’un diamètre de 116 mètres. La surface du cercle parcouru par chaque hélice est de 10.715 m2, soit un peu plus d’un hectare. Chacun des ces mètres carrés amène une puissance de 336 watts à la machine.
Le sommet des pales montera à environ 150 mètres et descendra à un peu plus de 40 mètres du sol. La vitesse de rotation est de 14,1 tours par minute. On verra donc passer une pale au même endroit toutes les 1,4 secondes.
Sprimocoop co-owns a five-turbine wind farm.
Specifically, the operating company for the five turbines is three-quarters owned by the developer (VENTIS), with the remaining quarter being split equally between the municipality of Sprimont and Sprimocoop.
The wind turbines are located north of the E25 motorway, on either side of the Route Nationale 678, which connects Sprimont to Louveigné.
The five turbines are identical. They are Nordex N117/3600 Delta turbines. Each has a maximum output of 3.6 megawatts (3,600 kW) and provides power as long as the wind speed is between 10 and 75 km/h.
Each tower is about 100 meters high and supports a nacelle containing an alternator connected to the shaft of a huge three-bladed polyester-fiberglass composite propeller with a diameter of 116 meters. The surface area of the circle covered by each propeller is 10,715 m², or just over one hectare. Each of these square meters provides 336 watts of power to the machine.
The blade tips will rise to approximately 150 meters and descend to just over 40 meters from the ground. The rotation speed is 14.1 revolutions per minute. Therefore, a blade will pass over the same spot every 1.4 seconds.

La Námafjall a fait l'objet d'une exploitation minière du soufre, activité économique qui lui a donné son nom, destiné à la production de poudre à canon. Au XXe siècle, des installations géothermiques se sont développées au pied du flanc occidental de la montagne avec la centrale géothermique de Bjarnarflag.

Nous voici en Suisse sur l'Emmental Bahn dans le canton de Berne où deux associations indépendantes « Dampfbahn Bern DBB » et « Verein Historische Eisenbahn Emmental VHE » ont repris l'exploitation de la ligne Sumiswald-Grünen - Huttwil en 2014.
Ce jour était organisé l'évènement "Slow Up" permettant de prendre à la fois le train tout en parcourant à vélo des portions de routes neutralisées. Le matériel de l'association a assuré des navettes tout au long de la journée, avec notamment l'automotrice RBDe 566 222-6 arborant l'ex livrée RM (Regionalverkehr Mittelland). Elle vient de brûler la halte de Gammenthal et approche de son terminus, Sumiswald-G.
Le village de Montsoreau connu un essor extraordinaire au début du XIXème siècle, grâce à l'exploitation de la pierre à bâtir, le tuffeau, qui donne sa blancheur aux maisons.
Curzon Street Tunnel is on the Digbeth Branch Canal, completed in 1799.
The Grade II listed structure is 161 yards long and carries the Birmingham to London railway across the canal. The older brick tunnel was constructed at the same time as Curzon Street station in 1838 and lengthened later when the line was extended into New Street station, opened in 1854.

Climbing up from Aberglaslyn on an old miner's track through beautiful yellow and orange coloured autumn trees you eventually break out into the open of Cwm Bychan. And it is further up here that you are first met by the strange sight of "Transformer" style pylons leading up into the mountain. Apparently they date back to the start of the twentieth century and were built to exploit the workings of the old copper mine that was started in the early 18th century.
This shot shows the remains of the top station, the whole thing being very similar to a modern ski lift, but this one for carrying heavy copper ore and rock.
It's amazing what you discover in them thar hills of Snowdonia. In fact, it amazes me at the endeavour of mankind that they could find something like copper in such a remote and high place and then spend all that human effort carrying thousands of tons of raw rock down by hand for processing a couple of hundred years before they even built this ropeway. I just don't know what today's youth would even make of it. Far too much trouble. Far too much trouble to even learn about it!
Happy New Year and love, peace and joy to everyone for 2013.

Everything in our Mother Nature is kept in a state of perfect harmony, is something that we should give thanks every sunset and do everything possible to try to keep it forever.
What do you think, do you meditate on it sometimes?
I leave you today with this self-portrait of last January 2017 of my series realized in the Beach of Vera -Almería-.
On the technical side, say that I only used a neutral gradient three steps filter combined with a four steps ND.
I hope you like it. Have a nice Thursday. :)

Another of the places that most impressed me of the Cantabria Coast.
Photographing the north coast, it becomes a difficult task for all the variables to fit, coincidence of sunrise-sunset with high-low tides depending on each place, having good lights and whenever you can look for less-seen frames, it complicates a lot things.
On the technical side, say that I used the combination of a ND four steps filter and a soft gradient ND three steps filter.
I hope you like it. Have a nice Sunday. :)

Another of the few shots I stole at the studio, during the short visit I paid to Gigi this year. Due to various commitments that had been keeping my mind busy during my stay in Europe, not lastly also an elbow inflammation that was giving me problems in handling my cameras, I did not have plan to shot this time. However, resisting the call of the photographic wild for a concert and event photographer, which is used to exploit any situation, was impossible to ignore. Particularly with such a beautiful muse.
🇫🇷 L'Argentiera est le nom d'un hameau situé sur le littoral de la commune de Sassari au nord-ouest de la Sardaigne
.La mine était exploitée par les Romains et les Phéniciens.
L'exploitation est rouverte au XIXe siècle par une société minière belge
.Le site connaît une période florissante vers 1940 puis décline après la Seconde Guerre mondiale.
La mine est fermée en 1963.
On peut y voir les vestiges de la laverie avec ses charpentes de bois et les fours destinés à la fonte des minerais formant un des plus intéressants exemples d'archéologie industrielle en Sardaigne. La restauration a commencé .
🇬🇧 L'Argentiera is the name of a hamlet on the coast of the municipality of Sassari in north-west Sardinia.

Fuji X-E2 plus Mitakon Speedmaster 35/0.95 wide-open. I would hesitate and, sometimes, I would not take the shot. Sometimes, I feel that my camera is intrusive and that it would be morally questionable to take the shot. It is not "candid" to exploit the weakness of someone else (unless agreed or, seriously, when public interest would override the hesitation). There is also a fine line between voyeurism and artistic freedom. As I said, sometimes, I hesitate.
It may seem hard to believe, but there is actually a small oilfield here at Kimmeridge Bay in the east of Dorset. There is a "nodding donkey" and a small storage tank on the side of the cliffs in the far right of the picture.
The Isle of Purbeck's oil-shale field, or "Kimmeridge Coal", was mined from the cliffs to the east of Kimmeridge since the early 17th century. It is no longer used commercially. Similar deposits were found at nearby Wytch Farm in the 1890s and were commercially exploited until around 1900. In 1890 some 5,000 ft of underground tunnels had been dug at Kimmeridge on four levels into the local cliffs, and there was a jetty to export the oil shale.
The Isle of Purbeck's oil industry began in 1936 with the first wells drilled near Kimmeridge. The area had long been mined for oil shale and tar, but was only prospected for crude oil in the 1950s. It was not until 1959 that a borehole at Kimmeridge showed that oil was seeping out, and 1960 saw British Petroleum's Kimmeridge Oil Field discovered. It began producing oil in 1979.
This is one of a group of small oilfields in this part of Dorset, with the main area on the south side of Poole Harbour being known as Wytch Farm. This is where the oil from Kimmeridge is taken by tanker and processed.
"Op art, or optical art, is an expression used to describe certain artistic practices and researches made from the 1960s and which exploit the fallibility of the eye through illusions or optical games.
Op art works are essentially abstract. The pieces give the impression of movement, of shining light and vibration or alternating movements. "

Long exposure of one of the most visited places in the Albufera of Valencia.
I waited for everyone to leave to take a picture of lonely old pier.
I have been many times on this site, but I'm always amazed lights, shadows, reflections and shades of color that make it unique every sunset.

A Vega de Liordes, um vale glaciar emblemático situado no coração do Maciço Central dos Picos de Europa, em Leão, Espanha, apresenta uma paisagem alpina de cortar a respiração. Esta extensa depressão de fundo plano, um notável polje moldado pela dissolução de rocha calcária e pela ação glaciar pleistocénica, encontra-se a uma altitude média de 1.880 metros, circundada por imponentes picos calcários que ultrapassam os 2.400 metros. O vale, coberto por pastagens e turfeiras, contrasta com as escarpas rochosas e os taludes de detritos, albergando um microclima particular que favorece a inversão térmica, onde foi registada a temperatura mais baixa de Espanha ( -35,8 °C ). Integrada no Parque Nacional e Reserva da Biosfera dos Picos de Europa, a Vega de Liordes é acessível através de trilhos de montanha, sendo um destino popular para caminhantes. Historicamente, a área foi explorada para a extração de zinco e galena, e mantém-se como zona de pastoreio estival, refletindo a harmonia entre a natureza e as atividades humanas.
The Vega de Liordes, an iconic glacial valley located in the heart of the Central Massif of the Picos de Europa in León, Spain, offers breathtaking alpine scenery. This extensive flat-bottomed depression, a remarkable polje shaped by the dissolution of limestone rock and Pleistocene glacial action, lies at an average altitude of 1,880 meters, surrounded by imposing limestone peaks exceeding 2,400 meters. The valley, covered with pastures and peat bogs, contrasts with the rocky escarpments and debris slopes, harboring a particular microclimate that favors thermal inversion, where the lowest temperature in Spain (-35.8 °C) was recorded. Part of the Picos de Europa National Park and Biosphere Reserve, Vega de Liordes is accessible via mountain trails and is a popular destination for hikers. Historically, the area was exploited for zinc and galena mining and remains a summer grazing area, reflecting the harmony between nature and human activities.
A foreground suddenly ablaze by the early rising sun presented me with both an opportunity & a conundrum. Incorporating it whilst avoiding my own shadow required a fair bit of moving around. This, & the necessity of revealing as much of the loch as possible, required a number of attempts from different spots, with this one achieving an acceptable compromise.
I must admit to having a problem with dammed lochs/lakes, that had previously existed in a natural state only to be exploited with no regard for visual & ecological consequences. There are many in the Highlands: Glascarnoch, Monar, Mullardoch, Cluanie, to name but a few. The celebrated views at the southern end of Haweswater, in Lakeland, highlight how most are willing to embrace a certain idea of what represents exceptional scenery. I, personally, find the man-made effects for the best part repulsive. Conversely, & maybe a little surprisingly, incomparable writer & tireless environmentalist, W.H. Murray, proclaimed Quoich, ". . . one of the most splendid water-scapes in the Highlands". My own position is to find it very difficult accepting permanent alterations. Exacting damaging interference to a land we should be preserving - not exploiting for all it's worth - & therefore leaving behind an unforgivable mess for future generations, represents yet another backward step in the "ascent of man" (sic).
