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.
Into the nest of a mining bee. I watched several hovering in front of burrows, swinging their abdomens forward to shoot their eggs inside. Please see this link to Steve Balcomes stream for a most interesting observation. www.flickr.com/photos/stevebalcombe/26484725033/in/datepo...

The Hearst Memorial Mining Building at the University of California, Berkeley, is home to the university's Materials Science and Engineering Department. The Beaux-Arts-style Classical Revival building is listed in the National Register of Historic Places and is designated as part of California Historical Landmark #946. It was designed by John Galen Howard, with the assistance of the UC Berkeley-educated architect Julia Morgan and the Dean of the College of Mines at that time, Samuel B. Christy. It was the first building on that campus designed by Howard. Construction began in 1902 as part of the Phoebe Hearst campus development plan. The building was dedicated to the memory of her husband George Hearst, who had been a successful miner.
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.

Hope you like this moc, have a great day.
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.

Since the weekly theme "Clear" coincides with the Spring 2026 Polaroid Week, I decided to shoot it with an instant film camera.

View of the Little Theresa Mine from the interpretive loop trail. which was operated from 1895 to as late as 1961 by several companies, including the Theresa Gold Mining Company, the Vindicator Consolidated, the United Gold Mines Company, and the Golden Cycle Mining Company. The entire surface plant was destroyed by fire in 1934, and the metal frame shown here rebuilt in 1938.

Vor 250 Jahren begann man hier in Hürth damit Braunkohle abzubauen. Anfangs wurde diese Kohle ausschließlich zum Heizen benutzt. Man mischte die zerkleinerte Kohle mit Wasser zu einem Brei, preßte diesen in eine Form und ließ ihn trocknen. Die Geburtsstunde des Briketts, oder wie man in dieser Gegend sagt, des Klüttens. Das erste Klüttenwerk (von 1884) lag in unmittelbarer Nähe der Grube in Alt-Hürth. Als diese Grube ausgekohlt war, wurde die Kohle aus anderen Ortsteilen mittels einer Seilbahn hierher transportiert. Der Straßennahme „Klüttenweg“ erinnert an diese Seilbahn. Der rekultivierte Bereich der ersten Grube ist heute das Landschaftsschutzgebiet Hürtherberg, das ca. 300 Meter vor meiner Haustür liegt.
Lignite mining began here in Hürth 250 years ago. Initially, this coal was used exclusively for heating. The crushed coal was mixed with water to make a pulp, pressed into a mould and left to dry. This was the birth of the briquette, or as we say in these parts, ‘Klütten’. The first briquette plant (from 1884) was located in the immediate neighbourhood of the mine in Alt-Hürth. When this mine was exhausted, the coal was transported here from other parts of the town by cable car. The street name ‘Klüttenweg’ is a reminder of this cable railway. The recultivated area of the first mine is now the Hürtherberg nature reserve, which is about 300 metres from my front door.
Now I'm not really up on my bees but I've taken advice (Steven Falk who was most helpful) and I believe this is a male Buffish Mining Bee (Andrena nigroaenea). This one was enjoying the Forget-me-nots in my garden the other day.
The staircase in the building of the former mining directorate in Saarbrücken. Today a department store. Only the entrance reflects the old splendor of the building.
