Rano Raraku is known as “the quarry” as it was here where the moai were carved and then taken to the ahus distributed throughout the island. The quarry is made of tuff, i.e. hardened volcanic ash and is, therefore, softer and easier to cut; although it’s more fragile than basalt, a material used primarily as a sculpting tool.
Quarry Bank Mill (also known as Styal Mill) in Styal, Cheshire, England, is one of the best preserved textile factories of the Industrial Revolution. Built in 1784, the cotton mill is recorded in the National Heritage List for England as a designated Grade II* listed building.
The National Trust, which runs the site as a museum, calls it "one of Britain's greatest industrial heritage sites, home to a complete industrial community". Quarry Bank Mill was established by Samuel Greg, and was notable for innovations both in machinery and also in its approach to labour relations.
The water-powered Georgian mill still produces cotton calico.

I've always thought about photographing the magnificent old moss covered trees in Ricklow Quarry. But it's a photo I've always missed as it means unpacking the camera gear again.
With recent tree felling (I think these are safe), I thought I'd better take this opportunity.
I got myself in a position to fill the background fully with the quarry spoils. A foggy day would be nice. It might not help too much though as you can't get enough distance to compress the fog.

The Dinorwic quarry also known as Dinorwig quarry) is a large former slate quarry, now home to the Welsh National Slate Museum, located between the villages of Llanberis and Dinorwig in North Wales. It was[when?] the second largest slate quarry in Wales, indeed in the world, after the neighbouring Penrhyn quarry near Bethesda.
It covered more than 700 acres (283 ha) consisting of two main quarry sections with 20 galleries in each and a number of ancillary workings. Extensive internal tramway systems connected the quarries using inclines to transport slate between galleries
I ran across this by accident, but what a beautiful view. My Grandson was camping in the woods and asked if we could pick him up. when we pulled up he wasn't quite ready, so I got out and asked what was about 600 feet in front of the car, he said 'some lake', so I grabbed my camera and was thrilled to see this beautiful 'lake'.. my Son said he thinks it actually is a quarry as there is/was iron ore mining in this area of the Upper Peninsula. whatever the case may be, I called it an excellent find!
