Mines here in Canada run 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, and just about every week of the year. So, it is inevitable then that vending machines would not only exist all over the mine, but also have frozen dinners in them.
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.

Action was a little lacking on the two days of our visit to the Gongwusu Mining Railway. It was obvious that the system had seen greater days, with many now abandoned sections and a huge semi-derelict works. Rail traffic was being shared on a day about basis between an SY 2-8-2 and a larger JS 2-8-2.. During an enforced break due to a signalling fault, the latter waits to propel a train of empties under the loading point whilst two curious local lads observe the peculiar westerner hiding in the old PW hut with a camera.

The Somerset coalfield was a fascinating place for rural and old-fashioned looking collieries. Mendip Colliery was developed after the old capped shaft at Strap Pit was reopened and drained in 1954-56 in an attempt to prove resources in the area. Subsequently it was developed as a winding shaft connected to the workings at New Rock in order to increase potential output to 70-90,000 tons per annum. New Rock winding shaft was 1,182 ft deep but only 4ft 6in diameter which severely limited daily output. This view by the late Ron Dyer shows the pit with the temporary winding enginehouse and headgear used whilst cleaning out the old shaft which turned out to be10ft 6in diameter rather than the 15ft expected. All the investment in developing the colliery was of little benefit as New Rock began to lose money due to technical difficulties of working the faces with coal ploughs and the need to transport coal away by road. New Rock closed on 28 September 1968 and salvaging the pit followed quickly. By June 1969 the shafts had been filled.
Down the side of the boiler - on the other side the fence is a stream that comes down from the mountains..
This tawny mining bee is photographed on morrello cherry blossom in our garden. Interestyingly, within a few feet, there is an ornamental flowering cherry tree which the tawny mining bee totally ignored. Honey bees were on the ornamental cherry blossom in their dozens, but ignored the morrello cherry blossom, which I thought was strange.
The tawny mining bee, Andrena fulva, is a European species of the sand bee (Andrena) genus. The males are 10–12 mm (0.4–0.5 in) and the females 8–10 mm (0.3–0.4 in) long. It is covered with hair: fox-red on its back and black on its underside.
The tawny mining bee lives in Europe, ranging from the Balkans to southern Scandinavia and the United Kingdom. It lives in light woodlands and dry grasslands, and also in parks and gardens. It is widely distributed but has a low population density. The Tawny mining bee flies from March until May. It prefers to fly in a multitude to different nectar-bearing plants, particularly currants and gooseberries. It lives in a nest in the ground, and occasionally in larger colonies.
It mates in spring, after which the male dies and the female starts to build a nest. Sometimes more than a hundred females build nests in a few square metres but the tawny mining bee normally does not create a colony: each female has her own nest. The tawny mining bee is therefore classified amongst solitary and communal bees.
The nest is a vertical shaft 200–300 mm (8–12 in), with several brood cells branching off it. The female fills these cells with a mixture of nectar and pollen, on which she lays one egg in each cell. The larva hatches within a few days, grows quickly and pupates within a few weeks. The adults emerge in spring after hibernation.
Did you know mining in British Columbia has been around for over 100 years? It provides excellent jobs and economic benefits for many B.C. families and communities. It's why we're celebrating Mining Week this year between May 8-14.

4. Mining Sculpture – Jake Harvey 1989.
Commemorates the “Spirit of Community”. Born of centuries of abject poverty, suffering, sorrow and deprivation the strong community spirit sustained mining families. Community spirit spurred the villagers to fight to have their condemned village redeveloped as a modern village preserving its identity and its traditions of sharing and caring for one another.
