The sun sets on an old abandoned mining cabin up above treeline in the Ten Mile Range near Leadville, Colorado. Jul 23, 2009.
Appearing to be the first parts of a planned community, these plots are likely small mines. They stretched out in all directions creating a kind of crooked lattice work. The black squares seems to be waste pools. Waste pools and piles from mining are blamed for poisoning water sources around the world, sometimes leading to birth defects and increased rates of cancer among local, often impoverished populations. Still, it is not completely clear to the photographer that these are in fact mines.
The Soudan Underground Mine State Park offers a most execellent tour of a former iron mine half a mile below ground. The mine is largely intact as U.S. Steel left it in 1962. The trip down is via a manxar using the former mine hoist. In the mine, a set of very nice replicas show the various mining operations as they would have been performed.

This is a bee excavating a nest site
We have an area of scrub with very sandy soil, and it has been colonised by hundreds of mining bees, each having its own mini-volcano above its hole. Here, one is about to enter its hole.
Variations of mining equipment covering a good many years. The foreground truck is an Indiana well drilling truck. I never heard of one until now.
We have seen this mine grow every year. I love the colors. The Canaletes valley has been mined for clay for a long time. Now the clay is used for refractory bricks.

Wir haben diese Mine schon oft gesehen und jedes Jahr wird sie grösser. Die farbige Erde fasziniert mich. Im Canaletes Tal baut man seit vielen Jahren Tonerde ab. heute wird die Erde für Schamottesteine oder Feuerfestziegel verwendet.
Participants in NASA's 7th annual Robotic Mining Competition tote their robotic excavators to the competition arena on the first day of competitive runs following morning practice rounds. The RMC is set up for college students to design and build a mining robot that can travel over a simulated Martian surface, excavate regolith and deposit as much of it as possible into a bin, all within 10 minutes. Team members may control their bots remotely from a trailer where their only line of sight is via a computer screen, or completely autonomously, with their programming skills put to the test as their robot handles the mission on its own. The competition, which takes place May 16 to 20 at the Kennedy Space Center Visitor Complex in Florida, focuses on technologies necessary to extract consumables such as oxygen and water to support human life and provide methane fuel to spacecraft.

The Mining Mech was designed to withstand cave-ins and beast attacks even though it has no weapons. It carries a saber saw, hydra drill, shovel, and heat-ray (for cutting apart particularly stubborn rocks). It always travels with a escort.
This MOC is a ad-on to the LEGO invasion from below theme.

I would assume a fresh air vent at one time. First time the took the photo it didn't come out so this time I got on the ground holding real tight to my camera then held more in the hole with the flash up.
A tawny mining bee feeding on apple blossom in the garden. This bee doesn't have pollen baskets and so the pollen collected is simply stuck to the thigh and belly fur.
