I have some lead type stacked up next to the Tivoli. This is one shot from last night. Thought it was interesting. That and I LOVE type.

This is the Cononley Lead Mine, which as lead mines go, is unusual, being quite out of place in these Airedale uplands, a lone refugee from the spoil heap wastelands of Greenhow, Grassington Moor and Upper Swaledale, where such landscapes tend to be the norm rather than the exception.
The 'raison d'etre' for this industrial oddity, is, of course, a geological one. A single large mineral vein occurs here, being part of a major fault across what is known as the Bradley Anticline. The area was first exploited for its lead ores in the 16th and 17th centuries, and bell pits from this period still survive. The vein was part of the royalty of the Duke of Devonshire and in the 18th century miners were sent here from the Duke's workings on Grassington Moor, in order to try and develop the area's potential. It was not until 1830 however, before the mines began to be fully developed by Stephen Eddy, the Duke's Agent. A level was driven from the side of nearby Nethergill, and this exploratory working, known as Brigg's Level, discovered large quantities of cerrusite, a very soft, easily worked carbonate of lead. From here the mine developed apace and a smelt mill was constructed down the Gill, near Cononley. More levels were driven, Deep Level Crosscut cutting the vein at 205 fathoms. (1230 feet). A main shaft and an incline shaft were sunk and the whole area became a bustling hive of activity. Between 1830 and 1876, when the mine finally closed, it produced some 15000 tons of lead ore. The impressive engine house, more reminiscent of North Cornwall than West Yorkshire served the main shaft, which lies just behind it

La collection, rassemblée par Paul et Alexandra Kanellopoulos, constitue l'une des collections d'antiquités privées les plus importantes de Grèce.
C'est dans les Cyclades que l'art primitif issu du néolithique a connu l'évolution la plus caractéristique. Ces objets caractéristiques de la civilisation précoce des Cyclades datent des années 3200 à 2O00 avant J.C.

Les figurines miniatures en marbre aux épaules larges et aux hanches étroites représentent en général des femmes nues que les archéologues supposent être des symboles de Fertilité ou des amulettes funéraires.

Early Cycladic period (3200 – 2000 BC)
This period was mainly characterized by the development of metallurgy, maritime navigation and communication. A multitude and wide range of bronze tools and weapons, swift-moving ships impelled by oars depicted on clay (frying pans) or metal (lead boat models) attest to the heyday of this early period of the Cyclades which played a pivotal role in the trade of materials and goods as well as the exchange of ideas, being in the centre of maritime communication routes. Metals, obsidian and marble, unique raw materials found on the Cyclades, were spread throughout the Aegean Sea. The marble vases and figurines, the kraters -known as “”kandiles”” (votive lamps)- and the violin-shaped figurines became initially synonymous with the Cycladic culture. Later, the kylikes and the “”palettes””, but chiefly the figurines with folded arms, with their widespread dispersal, turned into the symbol of the Cycladic achievement, whereas simultaneously, the creation of statues, namely life-size figures, and certain three-dimensional figurines (e.g. musicians) manifests the progress and innovation of the Cycladic art.

An armored horse leads the procession of animals on the historic Philadelphia Toboggan Company #6 wooden carousel. Originally located at Elitch Gardens in Denver, Colorado. It was moved to the Kit Carson County Fairgrounds in 1928. For a mere quarter you can still ride this jewel of Americana.
Looking great - I made up 6 bases, shown is the base for the lead knight, to allow me to pose each Pegasus Knight 'in flight or launch' and at different heights.
saw this dog lead hanging on a branch at the side of the footpath minus the dog, sure it doesn't need it and confident walking without it

9/2019 - Lead, SD
Home to an apparently now-closed gold mine, Lead, SD embraces its heritage with several pieces of Homestake Mining Company equipment on display. Operator's seat on loco 35.
I took myself on a bit of an expedition last week up to the Cwm Rheidol lead mine ruins. It was a bit of a last minute decision so my Light painting kit was limited - I'm going back at some point with some more toys (and a better safety plan!!!*)

Laxey, on the Isle of Mann, was a quiet hamlet of just a few cottages in the mid 1700s. The main industries then were the bleaching of linen, and perhaps a little smuggling.
Lead was first mined here 1790, but it was not until the 1840s that mining gathered pace with the formation of the Great Laxey Mining Company. A Massive industry grew up in this valley, and at one time more zinc was produced here than from all other mines in Britain put together. Mining reached its peak in the 1800s, with almost ever home in Laxey touched by it in some way. Prosperity - or ruin - followed the successes or disasters in the mines.
Traders supplied the miners and their families with goods, and men came from considerable distances to seek employment here. The Washing Floors worked night and day to crush and sort the ore, employing women and boys. The harbour was developed to allow ships to dock and load up with ore.
At tourist industry even grew up around the mining complex, with summer visitors eager to climb the Great Laxey Wheel.
This first tunnel ('level') was driven into the hillside from about 1790. It is part of the oldest workings in the mine and is known as the Old Adit Level - an adit is a level with one end open to the daylight.
St Mary's Church, Lead, is a redundant Anglican chapel standing in an isolated position in fields some 0.75 miles (1.2 km) to the west of the village of Saxton, North Yorkshire, England. Though technically a chapel, it is generally referred to as a church. It is managed by the The Churches Conservation Trust and is recorded in the National Heritage List for England as a designated Grade II* listed building. The chapel stands close to the site of the battle of Towton of 1461, which was part of the Wars of the Roses. In the 1930s it was saved from neglect by a local group of ramblers, and is known locally as the Ramblers Church (info from wiki)
