Disused mine at Minions, Bodmin Moor, Cornwall.
This is the Phoenix United mine complex, with the landmark Pumping Engine House and its prominent chimney at the right and other mining buildings to its left. This mine produced over 16,000 tons of tin and 83,000 tons of copper between 1842 and 1898, and was re-opened after the sinking of a new shaft in 1907. However, the expected tin resources were not in place and it was re-closed in 1914.
Stillgelegte Aartalbahn (von Wiesbaden nach LImburg). Als Schülerin fuhr ich diese Strecke jahrelang zur Schule nach Limburg. Diese Bahnlinie soll jetzt wieder in Betrieb genommen werden.
As a student, I traveled to school by train to Limburg for years..

Archaeologists discovered the tusk of a 9 ton elephant that died 120,000 years ago.
So dark in the morning that I considered converting this to B&W, and might yet, but there is some interesting colour to be had in this image and so I thought I would try and represent what a cold and grey Irish morning is really like. Spicing it up would make it look prettier, but I thought for once I'd go for reality, or close to it. Seen near Ballinrobe, Co. Mayo.
Looks like that door hasn't been open in a while.
Unusual to see a barbers going out of business.

Opened in 1887 the Alnwick to Cornhill branch line always struggled to find passengers with the area being quite sparsely populated. In addition the geography dictated that a number of stations were at a distance from the village they served.
It lasted as a passenger line from 1887 to 1930, with freight traffic on this southern (Alnwick) section of the line finally ceasing in 1953.

This plant was captured at Burton Leonard Lime Quarries Reserve administered by the Yorkshire Wildlife Trust.
At this former quarry, there’s now peace and quiet where there was once dust and noise. Disused lime kilns can still be found amidst grassland, broadleaved woodland, and scrub.
