Another slide restoration of a former welsh slate mining area, which I believe was open to the public at the time (mid-1980s) & in better Covid free times, may still be.

Das Deutsche Bergbau-Museum gegründet 1930 in Bochum ist das größte Bergbaumuseum der Welt und zum anderen Forschungsinstitut für Georessourcen und Montanwesen und Bergbauarchiv. Das Museum verfügt über ein Anschauungsbergwerk mit Seilfahrtsimulator. Das weithin sichtbare Symbol des Museums, der 71 m hohe Förderturm kann bestiegen werden.
The German Mining Museum, founded in Bochum in 1930, is the largest mining museum in the world and, on the other hand, is a research institute for georesources and mining and mining archives. The museum has a demonstration mine with a rope simulator. The symbol of the museum, which can be seen from afar, the 71 m high winding tower can be climbed.

David P. Morgan once described the Reserve Mining Railroad as a perfect railroad; one unencumbered by the ICC, passenger trains or branch lines. They focused solely on one commodity. and with a great physical plant they ran the hell out of it. There were years when the RMCo Railroad moved more tonnage than the entire Soo Line! Some remnants litter this shot, with Reserve era signals and ore cars mixed with newer locomotives. Out of sight but up and to the right exists a tailings pond, the result of "The United States of America v. Reserve Mining Company", a landmark case which marked the beginning of the EPA wielding significantly more power over corporations polluting the environment. I think spot is gated off now, the camera in the distance was new when I shot this and no doubt a contributing factor. Even out of its Reserve days, the North Shore Mining Company was still as cool as it always was.

Butterflies cannot live on Nectar alone. Minerals are also required by butterflies and to get them they do what is called Puddling. Puddling is when butterflies gather on muddy areas of soil to suck up water that contains devolved minerals. They radically fly over the wet soil; it seems radical to me, but they might have a method, then land in their chosen spot and suck up the mineral rich water.
Clipstone Colliery was a coal mine situated near the village of the same name on the edge of an area of Nottinghamshire known as “The Dukeries” because of the number of stately homes in the area. The colliery was owned by the Bolsover Colliery Company and passed to the National Coal Board in 1947. The headstocks and powerhouse are grade II listed buildings.

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.
(141/365) A female Andrena haemorrhoa "Early Mining bee" about to enter her nest burrow in my garden. We have lots of these solitary bees as well as Red Mason bees, Ashy (Grey) Mining bees & Chocolate Mining bees all with associated Nomad "Cuckoo" bees that lay their eggs in the hosts nests HBBBT!

I'm pretty sure the bee is a mining bee, literally getting into its pollinating work. The wild geranium is a favorite flower of the mining bee, one of the early spring pollinators. Photo taken in Upper Hixon Forest, La Crosse, Wisconsin.

And more from the garden during the lockdown period. We are lucky to have a small garden which we enjoy tremendously at the moment. While looking for more motifs for new photos I noticed a few bees flying low over the grass and they turned out to be mining bees looking for a spot to dig a hole in the ground. Those solitary bees will then lay one single egg and add pollen for the larvae. Not easy to photograph as they were obviously not standing still for my camera ;-)
Quite happy to see that my standard walk-around tamron lens is good enough to image the little single eyes the bees have in the middle of their head!
