A covering of snow highlights the spectacular Coldberry Gutter, Teesdale, high in the North Pennines AONB. Originally created by glacial melt water action, this huge notch in the hillside was extensively worked by lead mining in the late 19th and early 20th centuries. Spoil heaps and remnants of other workings known as hushing can be seen towards the bottom of the picture.
The weekend has arrived. Mining bee mining pollen. Have a wonderful weekend - calling for rain here - can't complain - we had the biggest run of beach weather ever - and the rain is welcome (after a week I might just change my tune).

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.
The mining area of Gold Point. The road on the left side of the picture is an unpaved road leading to the highway that goes to Lida (another ghost town).

Seen as how the Arigna Mining Experience was mention in the comments from our Journal.ie article we may as well post a few images from the tour. This photograph shows a long stretch of tunnel at the beginning of the tour, back in the day the tunnel was much smaller.

On May 5, 1859, John H. Gregory discovered a rich deposit of gold in hard rock, the first such discovery in the Rocky Mountain region. Thousands of miners flooded into Gregory Gulch in the next few months in the Pike's Peak Gold Rush. Several mining camps were thrown up near the Gregory Lode, and these camps eventually coalesced into Central City and Black Hawk. The area around the Gregory Lode quickly came to be known as the Richest Square Mile on Earth. By the time the Territory of Colorado was formed on February 28, 1861, Central City was already the largest city in the entire territory, though Denver was made the state capital.
The Central City/Black Hawk area was a basically continuous arc of mining camps and urban development, with a population of more than 3,000 at its height in 1870. Development extended all the way up to Nevadaville, now a ghost town within the Central City limits.
這座日本人與台灣人所經營的金銅礦場，經歷了一次世界大戰，和二次世界大戰。現在仍然聳立在水湳洞海邊。
在一九八六年正式宣告停止開採。
有很多屋頂，水泥牆慢慢剝落，有些攝影者曾經記錄採礦時期的影像。現在採礦結束之後，留下來的荒涼，與化學藥劑，仍然可以在場內嗅到。
若能透過攝影留下荒涼的面貌，似乎也不錯。
有人來這邊拍攝裸照，有人來搞創意搞藝術。似乎頹敗和裸體有著密切的關係。
剛接觸攝影覺得地景攝影是有點難懂的地方，可是現在看了很多當代攝影，發現地景攝影就像是迪士尼卡通，淺顯易懂。
也許會再一次到礦場拍攝。當接觸越多，攝影思考的方式就更不一樣。從沙龍照，街拍，婚紗，婚禮過程到地景攝影。都是非常有趣的體驗過程。

This is the Series ST 156 - 4 - 20" instrument in Face Left mode.
This was a much more compact and lighter instrument than the CTS - V302. and more colourful in that they were finished in olive green enamel. There was also a one second of arc version - the No.2. These models originated in 1946.
I first got my sticky fingers on this in late 1950's for mine survey work.

Jerome, Arizona
[The Jeffrey Manufacturing Co. Columbus Ohio]
Arizona Republic - March 27, 1962
Fifty-Year-Old Vehicles Displayed in Jerome
Why Were Locomotives and Ore Car Left in Mine Tunnel Since 1908?
Two electric locomotives and one ore car were put display on recently were put on Main Street. The locomotives, "motors" to the miners, and the ore car are 36-inch gauge, the same size track used by the narrow gauge railroad that traveled between Jerome Junction and Jerome beginning in 1984 The motors and cars were uncovered recently when the Big Hole Mining Co. opened a southwest drift in the course of its open-pit operation.
Many questions bounce about and come up unanswered. Why weren't the motors and cars were they left scrapped when the smelter was dismantled? Why in the underground workings? Were they cut off in a mine shaft cave-in? Were they forgotten for almost 50 years? [photographers note: this is extremely common, most cumbersome equipment was abandoned underground after mine closure. It was often assembled underground and getting it out was not worth the trouble or scrap value.]
The motors are not completely a puzzle, however. One motor was between 1905 and 1908. Using the factory motor for a sample, the second motor bought was built at the mine.

What a great view out of your backyard! You get to see a fine
mountain. Except it's being eaten up by a mining operation. See it on this map.

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.

Georgetown settled in 1859 after they discovered gold in the area, but the town is mostly known for its silver. So much so, in the late 1800s, the town competed with Central City for the title of Colorado’s most important mining center. In its heyday, Georgetown’s mining would produce over one million dollars’ worth of precious metals annually, some years coming close to the two million marks. Eventually, other Colorado mining towns eclipsed Georgetown, but it will always be known as one of the first booming mining towns in all the West.
