In the Pilbara region of Western Australia, an English Electric powered, A class diesel No.6 is seen crossing the De Grey River bridge with empty hoppers bound for the mine at Goldsworthy on Monday 15 June 1987.
In contrast with the other iron ore mining railways in the Pilbara, the Goldsworthy Mining railway was relatively short, originally 112kms from Port Hedland to Goldsworthy, later extended another 50kms to Shay Gap.
Mainstay of the motive power fleet were six 1850hp diesel electric units built in Australia by English Electric, similar in design to the Western Australian Government Railway K class.
The railway and Goldsworthy mining operations were later absorbed into BHPs' larger Pilbara operations.

GHH mining machine underground shovel, when they were introduced in the Monteponi mine, helped to make the work lighter and faster. He wouldn't mind seeing it displayed in a protected area and not exposed to the elements. A machine created to work indoors that ends its "career" outdoors. The most interesting part are the reinforcements made by hand welding along the entire profile of the blade of the shovel. Although not a certainly functional artistic work; this is proof of the mastery and skills that the staff had acquired in working in a mine like this.
Pala da sottosuolo GHH mining machine, quando vennero introdotte nella miniera di Monteponi aiutarono a rendere il lavoro più leggero e veloce. Non sabbe male vederla esposta in una zona protetta e non esposta alle intemperie. Una macchina che nasce per lavorare al chiuso che finisce al sua "carriera" all'aria aperta. La parte più interessante sono i rinforzi realizzati con saldatura a mano lungo tutto il profilo della lama della pala. Seppure non un lavoro artistico sicuramente funzionale; questo a riprova della maestria e delle competenze che il personale aveva acquisito nel lavorare in una miniera come questa.
There were a couple of these in our Staffordshire garden today. I thought at first that they were female Halictus rubicundus but have been advised by a follower on Twitter that it's actually Andrena dorsata - the Short-fringed Mining-bee.
This is great because it's a new bee for the garden and a new bee for me too. Hopefully I'll recognise it if I see it again!

The Beaux-arts revival style building was designed by renowned architect John Galen Howard and is a California Historical Landmark and on the National Register of Historic Places.
North Shore Mining heads west with ore empties behind 133-116. Spring barely has a foothold here so the breezes at "my meadow" were quite bracing, but the sun was warm. The "maple bacon bourbon burger" at The Northland restaurant in Silver Bay was a satisfying way to counter the coolness. Tonight could bring some ice storms.
One view of Federal Mill #3, once the largest lead mine and processing plant in the world. At its height, 4500 people worked here. Now a Missouri state historic site, it includes a museum and additional exhibits, with more planned for the near future. A fascinating place, huge in scale, with many interesting photo opportunities.
Cool, partly cloudy, weather created the perfect conditions for slowing down this Mining Bee so I could get close to it.
Tech Specs: Canon 90D (F11, 1/125, ISO 200) + a Canon MP-E 65mm macro lens (set to 2x) + a diffused MT-26EX-RT, E-TTL metering, -2/3 FEC. This is a single, uncropped, frame taken hand held. In post I used Topaz Denoise AI and Clarity in that order. ISO and shutter set to expose the sky in the background.
On a dusty unpaved street in the small opal mining town of White Cliffs New South Wales, this derelict petrol pump stands guard over what was once a general store and service station. For more information on this delightfully quirky outback town see the text accompanying my other White Cliffs images.

A female Tawny Mining Bee (Andrena fulva) in our Staffordshire garden yesterday.
It was a great day for bee photography. The day before had been warm and sunny and lots of bees had been active. They it turned chilly and some of those that ventured out got "stranded"; waiting for some sunshine. An opportunity not to be missed!

Following the toxic stream through the dark forest, my team and I made our way into a deep cavern. Getting closer to the interior of the planet the toxic fumes increased in my reticle sensors. Glancing around I could see my human and Twi-lek comrades having a rougher time through the vapor. My IG-24 assistance droid was configurating what appeared to be a projectile launcher of sorts. Stumped by the fact I continued my haste down the corridor of rock and gas.
Suddenly the vapor started moving faster, seemingly getting sucked out of the cave. Swiftly turning around I could see funnels forming around IG-24 as they rushed into his blaster apparatus. The droid had made a suction chamber! If that thing was a living being I’d give it a raise, meanwhile the other living beings were still suffering from the toxins, but it appeared they were recovering slightly.
After trudging through the tunnel for quite a while, we met our previous base camp. Not needing this camp to base any operations anymore we had decided that we could excavate this area. Calling in our drill drone, we prepared for it’s arrival. An older design, the DD-13 still held up in its old age, the drill worked as well as ever. A valued part of our operation, it held a special place in my heart, even if it’s older legs slowed its movement. Finally arriving, we commenced our mining and continued our search for yerium.
Excuse the poor build quality, but this was built in about 8 hours with constant redesigning and rebuilding for RebelLUG’s “VignWeek” where I’ll attempt to build a vignette every day this week in under 24 hours.

Perth is a mining town. Mining is a major source of revenue for Western Australia and hence the state is relatively wealthy and has the highest median household income of any Australian capital city. The picture shows the precinct at the ground floor for one of the major mining companies. This is repeated throughout the city with some lovely grounds
This driver did a great job hauling this mining truck through this city of Red Deer, Alberta. The pilot truck on the left of the image guided traffic to allow the driver to negotiate this left hand 90° turn.

Latin Name: Andrena haemorrhoa - Early Mining Bee
This is a widespread and common species in Britain. Their habitat is around potential nesting sites such as gardens, playgrounds, sports fields, paths and the sides of roads and are commonly seen March to June. Females are often seen nesting alone, but groups of females do occur, even though these groups are never very big. Length 8 to 11 mm. The thorax is foxy brown on top; the abdomen is black, except for the rear end, which is foxy brown again. The male is much smaller than the female and its hairs are much lighter colour, tending to grey or even white.

I'm not sure which species of mining bee this is so any help with ID would be appreciated. I did wonder if it was Andrena flavipes (Yellow-legged Mining Bee).
First red TIE Interceptor, now yellow TIE Fighter!
I am usually not too fond of "yet another TIE variant" but how could I resist a yellow one? Such a beautiful color to go with black and grey! This just screams "utalitarian design" and so fits the mining guild theme perfectly!
It is a relatively simple build, but it already contains some fixes I intend for the v2.0 TF, most notably better shape of the solar panel. Change is minimal but noticeable enough! And I am very slightly... quite proud of the stripe solution ^^
Bottom's Up! This reed bee (Exoneura sp.) was tucking into our Native Geraniums to get at the food stuff within. Happy Beautiful Bug Butt Thursday everyone!
This is up a bit north of Golden on the Peak to Peak road in late fall - I've found it fascinating n I bet just up the hill is more of it but the area has a keep out sign - sooo - besides after year's of being stagnate tree's have sprouted up.
Tawny mining bee (Andrena fulva) showing well in my garden. The females are particularly eye-catching with their foxy red hair and black undersides. These mining bees will nest in the lawn and patches of bare ground!
