Das Deutsche Bergbau-Museum gegründet 1930 in Bochum ist das größte Bergbaumuseum der Welt und zum anderen Forschungsinstitut für Georessourcen und Montanwesen und Bergbauarchiv. Das Museum verfügt über ein Anschauungsbergwerk mit Seilfahrtsimulator. Das weithin sichtbare Symbol des Museums, der 71 m hohe Förderturm kann bestiegen werden.
The German Mining Museum, founded in Bochum in 1930, is the largest mining museum in the world and, on the other hand, is a research institute for georesources and mining and mining archives. The museum has a demonstration mine with a rope simulator. The symbol of the museum, which can be seen from afar, the 71 m high winding tower can be climbed.

Butterflies cannot live on Nectar alone. Minerals are also required by butterflies and to get them they do what is called Puddling. Puddling is when butterflies gather on muddy areas of soil to suck up water that contains devolved minerals. They radically fly over the wet soil; it seems radical to me, but they might have a method, then land in their chosen spot and suck up the mineral rich water.
The Hearst Memorial Mining Building at the University of California, Berkeley, is home to the university's Materials Science and Engineering Department. The Beaux-Arts-style Classical Revival building is listed in the National Register of Historic Places and is designated as part of California Historical Landmark #946. It was designed by John Galen Howard, with the assistance of the UC Berkeley-educated architect Julia Morgan and the Dean of the College of Mines at that time, Samuel B. Christy. It was the first building on that campus designed by Howard. Construction began in 1902 as part of the Phoebe Hearst campus development plan. The building was dedicated to the memory of her husband George Hearst, who had been a successful miner.
I find the high moors fascinating places not just for the natural beauty and weird rock formations but also because, many years ago, they were a hive of industry, principally mining or quarrying. This was taken on Bodmin Moor in Cornwall, close to the hamlet of St. Breward. As well the moorland scenery it shows a cheesewring which although resembling a man made object is actually a perfectly natural rock formation created by erosion. Close by can be seen the remains of an old mining building which overlooked an open cast mine where, probably, tin or copper would have been extracted. It is likely that the miners walked several miles to and from their homes to this mine in all weathers. I visited on a fine day but it was still a bleak and windy place. Truly, those miners worked between a rock and a hard place.

Clipstone Colliery was a coal mine situated near the village of the same name on the edge of an area of Nottinghamshire known as “The Dukeries” because of the number of stately homes in the area. The colliery was owned by the Bolsover Colliery Company and passed to the National Coal Board in 1947. The headstocks and powerhouse are grade II listed buildings.

Happy Truck Thursday!
In northern Utah we tend to look eastward when we want to see something beautiful because that's where the Wasatch mountains sit, and we tend to keep our backs turned to the west while we let mining companies chew up the mountains there because they aren't as nice to look at. Sometimes it's good to look west, though.

View of the Little Theresa Mine from the interpretive loop trail. which was operated from 1895 to as late as 1961 by several companies, including the Theresa Gold Mining Company, the Vindicator Consolidated, the United Gold Mines Company, and the Golden Cycle Mining Company. The entire surface plant was destroyed by fire in 1934, and the metal frame shown here rebuilt in 1938.
