The Zollverein colliery was an active coal mine in Essen from 1851 to 1986. It was named after the German Zollverein, founded in 1834. Today it is an architectural and industrial monument.
Some Slaves forced to mine for gold in the harsh heats of distant (country name here) Slavery can be harsh... And in this heat, rebellion is often frowned upon :P
(141/365) A female Andrena haemorrhoa "Early Mining bee" about to enter her nest burrow in my garden. We have lots of these solitary bees as well as Red Mason bees, Ashy (Grey) Mining bees & Chocolate Mining bees all with associated Nomad "Cuckoo" bees that lay their eggs in the hosts nests HBBBT!
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.

This part of Bodmin Moor, near Minions, a few miles north of Liskeard, has the remains of three neolithic stone circles known as The Hurlers, as well as several individual standing stones such as the one pictured. They are thought to date from around 1500 BC. Although there have been many theories, no-one knows for certain what their purpose was.
Tin and copper mining took place throughout this area until early in the 20th century, and many of the engine houses and other remains can still be seen. The engine house in the distance housed a 50-inch pumping engine, installed in the 1880s. The mine shaft it served reached 720 feet and was part of the South Phoenix Mine. The engine house is now a visitor centre.

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!
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.
One of the huge chambers inside Honister Slate mine, with the small wagon and tracks that were once used to remove the extracted slate from the mine. Piles of slate are still found in the chamber but are not of a quality good enough for roofing.

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.

Wheal Owles, Cornwall.
Work began on extracting tin and minerals at Wheal Owles in the 1850s. At its height it had 29 miles of levels and 11 steam engines at the site, a mile from St Just.
In an event which could have stepped straight from the pages of a novel, tragedy struck in January 1893 when flood water broke through the underground workings trapping one boy and 19 men. Their bodies were never recovered and the mine remained closed from that day. There is a plaque recalling their names on the wall of the engine house.

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.
