Bonsall Village.
An attractive, historic former lead-mining village set in steep-sided converging limestone dales. Located in the Derbyshire Dales on the edge of the Peak District. The civil parish population, including Brightgate and Horse Dale, was 775 at the 2001 Census, increasing to 803 at the 2011 Census. In the sloping market square is the unusual 17th century cross, set on top of 13 circular stone steps. The ancient King's Head is a notable building in the Market Place, while the Barley Mow is another traditional pub worth finding. Bonsall has also attracted much worldwide interest as a centre of paranormal activity. During July and August they have the eccentric Bonsall Hen Races attract many visitors. THe vilage is lined with pretty cottages, a couple of pubs and a tea room, this village sounds like one of the many picturesque places you'd come across in the beautiful Derbyshire Dales.

A newly-emerged female Buffish Mining Bee (Andrena nigroaenea) in our Staffordshire garden.
There's been lots of solitary bee activity recently, but a significant fall of snow last night will have slowed them down a bit!

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.

Happy Truck Thursday!
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!

At Glendalough, Co Wicklow there is an old abandoned mining village. This rusty piece of equipment survives and must be there for a couple of hundred years
What left of the family still lives in the farm house but the barn rots because the fields are now replaced with housing and a new highway.Eventually the family will be gone and it will all be razed for new housing. This is the way of things. Urban sprawl.
If you have an interest in past days and the gold mining in the area, across the Kawarau River gorge there are still remnants of the gold digger days. Some of these can be viewed at the Goldfields Mining Centre.

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.

Old mining equipment under the Milky Way in Nevada City Montana. It was really dark and quiet and then some animal chased something else in my direction while growling like a cougar or something. I ran away.
This is the winding engine(1897!!). At the moment we were there, the machine was turned on for a demonstration.
