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.
This part of Bodmin Moor, near Minions, a few miles north of Liskeard, has the remains of three neolithic stone circles known as The Hurlers, as well as several individual standing stones such as the one pictured. They are thought to date from around 1500 BC. Although there have been many theories, no-one knows for certain what their purpose was.
Tin and copper mining took place throughout this area until early in the 20th century, and many of the engine houses and other remains can still be seen. The engine house in the distance housed a 50-inch pumping engine, installed in the 1880s. The mine shaft it served reached 720 feet and was part of the South Phoenix Mine. The engine house is now a visitor centre.
The Zollverein Coal Mine Industrial Complex (German Zeche Zollverein) is a large former industrial site in the city of Essen, North Rhine-Westphalia, Germany.
The first coal mine on the premises was founded in 1847, and mining activities took place from 1851 until December 23, 1986. For decades, starting in the late 1950s, the two parts of the site, Zollverein Coal Mine and Zollverein Coking Plant (erected 1957–1961, closed on June 30, 1993), ranked among the largest of their kinds in Europe. Shaft 12, built in the New Objectivity style, was opened in 1932 and is considered an architectural and technical masterpiece, earning it a reputation as the "most beautiful coal mine in the world".
Because of its architecture and testimony to the development of heavy industry in Europe, the industrial complex was inscribed on the UNESCO World Heritage List on December 14, 2001, and is one of the anchor points of the European Route of Industrial Heritage.
Copper mining infrastructure, part of Phelps Dodge Corporation copper mining operation in Bisbee, AZ. Mining operations stopped in 1974. I believe these towers were used for some type of post-processing of the recovered slurry.
I continue with a summer theme mostly as i am painstakingly going through my image files. Readying for my transition to mac OS. So fed up am i by windows. Along the way i find an image suitable for a re: edit prior going back to dropbox.
As i write i am told that the first of our many crocuses has reared its head. Also from m my desk i saw a blue tit flying from out of our nest box. Exciting.

Thank you Gary for confirmation of the Identity of this Bee. Gary Faulkner: www.flickr.com/photos/gary-faulkner/ Identified this as a Chocolate Mining Bee (Andrena scotica) and I agree👍
⭐️Thank you in Advance for your kind ‘Faves’ Visits and Comments they are so very much appreciated. 👍
I cannot always ‘Thank’ everyone individually, for their Visits and ‘Faves’ however, I will always try to respond and thank all those that leave a ‘Comment’. If I do not reply to your 'Comment', it is not because I am ignoring you, it's because I have not seen the 'Comment'.
Your 'Comments' do not always appear in 'Notifications' or Flickr mail, so, I am sorry for any delay in responding. Often your 'Comment' is only spotted 'On the Page' on the day, that I see it. (seen ONLY when replying to someone HAS 'Commented' on the image, and I see a notification)
Some Slaves forced to mine for gold in the harsh heats of distant (country name here) Slavery can be harsh... And in this heat, rebellion is often frowned upon :P
Colletes hederae in Somerset. The colony I discovered last year, the first I'm aware of on my home patch, is active again this year with dozens of bees already. There aren't many burrows yet, probably a combination of being early in their season, plus the recent weather has been very wet. In today's sunshine, most of the females seemed to be spending their time looking for the perfect spot to start digging but a few are ahead of the game.

Happy Truck Thursday!
The remains of an old mining village can be found at the top of the upper lake at Glendalough, Co Wicklow. Built in the 1800s, lead and zinc were mined there for over 100 years

We have around 67 species within the Andrenidae family in the UK and I haven't quite worked out which one this is yet! To be honest, I'm not even 100% sure it is a mining bee. I'll update if my detective skills uncover its real identity :-)
Another shot of the mine close to Dutch Settlement, Nova Scotia. Once again so pleased that taking the image through a wire fence doesn't show.

Wheal Owles, Cornwall.
Work began on extracting tin and minerals at Wheal Owles in the 1850s. At its height it had 29 miles of levels and 11 steam engines at the site, a mile from St Just.
In an event which could have stepped straight from the pages of a novel, tragedy struck in January 1893 when flood water broke through the underground workings trapping one boy and 19 men. Their bodies were never recovered and the mine remained closed from that day. There is a plaque recalling their names on the wall of the engine house.
