A shot of one of the paths through the heathland restoration that is Beacon Hill reserve. The topsoil turns grey with weathering, but underneath it is orange, and this shot shows just how many mining bee mounds there are in a small area. I have never seen a site like. it. I found it astonishing that they thrive in such a frequently trampled area as a footpath that is well used by dog walkers.
I was back a few days later in heavy rain and there was no trace of any of this and the path looked more like a river. I hope the bees survived.

WIPP miners use a remote-controlled continuous mining machine to make space in the bedded salt for planned Salt Disposal Investigations.
Mining crews recently began tunneling areas in the north end of the 2,150-foot-deep Waste Isolation Pilot Plant (WIPP) repository to support a new round of salt studies. Known as the Salt Disposal Investigations (SDI), the studies are designed to test the geologic response of salt to elevated temperatures.
When you bring up various sizes of rock from mining then you but them to use with an opening that face's the mountain side. Mining in Nevadaville was at it's peek between 1860 and 1870 and the structures are from that period.

Regardless of the type of raw material, its extraction always comes with an environmental cost. Most mining leaves a lasting and damaging environmental footprint. For example, during the extraction of common metals like copper, lead or zinc from the earth both metal-bearing rock, called ore, and “overburden”, the dirt and rock that covers the ore are removed. At a typical copper mine around 125 tonnes of ore are excavated to produce just one tonne of copper. The amount of earth moved is mind-boggling and mining now strips more of the Earth's surface each year than does natural erosion.

I built this MOC for Andromeda's Gates on Eurobricks. It shows a MANTIS mining base in full swing, there's even some little loader trucks carrying loads of Awesomnium. The building has a full interior as well.
Site of gold mining in Tamiougou just south of Kongoussi. Paul Sawadogo, 27 years old, prospector says, "I started panning for gold at 17. The gallery is 10m deep. Each prospector spends 12 hours underground and brings up several kilos of ore will be crushed and then washed. The last accident happened 6 years ago." Burkina Faso. Africa.

Rapper sword dancing originated in the mining communities of the north east. A rapper is a short flexible length of steel with a fixed handle at one end and a swivel handle at the other. A rapper team consists of 5 men. Without letting go of the swords the dancers step over and under the linked swords, and may even somersault over them! The music is fast and the steps are not unlike a kind of tapdance. This team is called Stone Monkey Sword Dancers and were very exciting to watch!
