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.
For those of us old enough to remember the old black and white TV show "Death Valley Days" brought to you by the Borax 20 mule team and hosted by Ronald Reagan.
Abandoned mining equipment along Warm Springs Road in Death Valley.
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!
One of several ancient trucks once used in mining resting in Goldpoint, Nevada.
Happy Truck Thursday!
150253 passes the site of the former Lewis Merthyr colliery in the Rhondda Valley with a Treherbert bound Transport for Wales service back in 2019. Another shot that can no loinger be replicated today. 2T14 10:06 Cardiff Central to Treherbert.
The remains of an old mining village can be found at the top of the upper lake at Glendalough, Co Wicklow. Built in the 1800s, lead and zinc were mined there for over 100 years

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.
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.
Another shot of the mine close to Dutch Settlement, Nova Scotia. Once again so pleased that taking the image through a wire fence doesn't show.

Steam from fresh pellets and the plant kilns envelopes the thousand footer Stewart J. Cort at Northshore Mining in Silver Bay. Shipping on Lake Superior will end around January 15 when the Soo Lock close for the winter (reopening March 25). The temperature when I grabbed this was mild, around 2 degrees.
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.
Deep in the mountain, the dwarfs are busy mining the sacred crystals of Ädelstenssjön.
Second entry for Summer joust, this time in the subterranean category. Tried to create an underground lake kind of vibe, hope you like it. youtu.be/ja7d3L5P3rA
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 TOWN NELSON NV
Originally called El Dorado in 1775 by the Spaniards who made the original discoveries of gold in the area that is now Eldorado Canyon. The town was the site of one of the first major gold strikes in Nevada and one of the biggest mining booms in state history. Gold and silver were discovered here around 1859. The rush to the canyon began in 1861, several mining camps were established in the canyon, and a steamboat landing at the mouth of the canyon on the Colorado River.
With mining a thing of the past, Zollverein is now a World Cultural Heritage well-suited to host historical and cultural exhibits itself in the Ruhr museum situated on the grounds of the former mining complex.

Trees along the shore of Lake Superior are usually the last to turn color in Duluth, and they rarely disappoint. The yellow on former Erie Mining Company F9A 4211 complements the changing seasons.
