An old mining place, it's on CR 119 I forget the excat location buy I pass it on the was to Estes Pk.
This is the first female mining-bee that I've seen in our Staffordshire garden in 2016. I'm pretty certain (as certain as you can be from a photograph) that this is Andrena nigroaenea. This species does nest in the garden, but I didn't see any females until late April last year.
This is the sixth species of bee that I've seen in the garden so far this year; all in the last few days. Lest's hope the warm weather continues!
The clean white marble deposits of the Yule Creek were first discovered in the late 1870’s. Minor quarrying occurred between that discovery and the early 1900s. Major development occurred in 1905, when Col. Channing Meek, with some help from the Rockefellers, raised $3 million to develop the Colorado Yule Marble Quarry. (That is $50 million in today’s dollars.) Some of the words used to describe the marble deposit were “gigantic, remarkable, flawless and immense.” Boosters proclaimed: “The marble age is here.” Dreams were big for Marble.Soon large numbers of blocks began coming down the 3-mile long wagon road to the town of Marble. The quarry elevation is 9,500 ft, and is cut into a very steep mountainside. Mine development was not easy, and even in the present day, with newer methods and transportation, remains a challenge.
(Andrena cineraria) One of the most distinctive solitary bees with striking black and grey/white markings. Female Ashy-mining bees excavate small tunnels in the earth to make their nests.
I have never seen one of these before, this one was in the garden.

West Virginia coal mining began in the mid-1800s, prior to the ratification of the state. By the early 1900s coal was dominating the American economy, powering industry, railroads, and streetcars across the nation, in addition to being a reliable source of heat and energy for many homes and businesses.

The heart of Rio Tinto Borates' business is the open-pit mine in Boron, California, one of two world-class borate deposits on the planet. Company founders began mining borates in 1872. What began as an underground mine was transformed into an open pit mine in 1957.
The mule teams that hauled borates out of our original mines in Death Valley are long gone, but the symbol endures in the 20 Mule Team Borax® product brand. In the marketplace, this brand is the mark of superior product quality and consistency, supply reliability, technical support and service.
Rio Tinto Borates mines approximately three million tonnes of borate ore every year from the Boron mine. It produces nearly half of the world's supply of refined borate products.
The mine measures 2.8km wide, 3.2km long and is up to 230m deep. More than 80 different minerals are found at this geologically unique site, including the four boron based minerals in greatest demand by industry: tincal, kernite, ulexite and colemanite.
several shots of the railway sadly it was not open on the day I went but I will be going back to have a ride on that one.
GHH mining machine underground shovel, when they were introduced in the Monteponi mine, helped to make the work lighter and faster. He wouldn't mind seeing it displayed in a protected area and not exposed to the elements. A machine created to work indoors that ends its "career" outdoors. The most interesting part are the reinforcements made by hand welding along the entire profile of the blade of the shovel. Although not a certainly functional artistic work; this is proof of the mastery and skills that the staff had acquired in working in a mine like this.
Pala da sottosuolo GHH mining machine, quando vennero introdotte nella miniera di Monteponi aiutarono a rendere il lavoro più leggero e veloce. Non sabbe male vederla esposta in una zona protetta e non esposta alle intemperie. Una macchina che nasce per lavorare al chiuso che finisce al sua "carriera" all'aria aperta. La parte più interessante sono i rinforzi realizzati con saldatura a mano lungo tutto il profilo della lama della pala. Seppure non un lavoro artistico sicuramente funzionale; questo a riprova della maestria e delle competenze che il personale aveva acquisito nel lavorare in una miniera come questa.

There's lots of rock walls in this area but the wood for this structure is gone but on the map one can see the foot print that's at the top of this hill.
Yes, this is the term we Hong Kong people use in describing this activity. And I am not referring to reading a newspaper.

Georgetown was a hot mining area and silver also.
Slow progress... decided to add text from poem along bottom but used the 'lifting out' technique so it's no too 'in yer face' Might disguise it even further yet. Hated adding the coppers along the cliff top but it's not meant to be a pretty picture about romantic nostalgia... exhibition is entitled, Mining, Unions and Politics. Sorry it's so dark... not much light in the studio today... hadda whack up the ISO
