Huge thanks to Chris & Maree Mullett.
TEM2-053, która związana jest z Hutą „Katowice” od wyjazdu z fabryki, czyli 1977, wyciąga sznur węglarek z terenu huty na stację Dąbrowa Górnicza Towarowa. Widoczny nad pociągiem taśmociąg tylko dopełnia industrialny klimat tego miejsca, które oferuje zasadniczo ciągły ruch składów z i do huty.
TEM2-053 which has been working at the „Katowice” Steelworks since 1977, that is it’s year of production, hauls a rake of coal
wagons to Dąbrowa Górnicza Towarowa station. The conveyor above the train perfectly represents the atmosphere of this place, which offers a steady flow of traffic to and from the steelworks.

A series of wooden ladders inside the Hubbard Mine. I spent almost an hour setting up the colored lights.
The Hubbard mine was started in 1874 and was jointly operated with the Redman and Ready Relief mines. Together they were one of the largest mining operations in the Julian district. The Hubbard mine profited $200,000 during its years of operation.
The workings include a crosscutting adit which is 300 feet long, plus a 275 ft. shaft connecting to the surface. Due to this shaft the mine was always well vented. There is one drift that connects to the Ready Relief Mine. The vein is approximately 1 ft. wide, is about 200 feet below the surface
There are impressive rolls of gangue quartz found here and other mines around Banner, including one ore called blue ribbon quartz. The rocks are highly siliceous mica schist.
This mine is home to a colony of rare Townsend’s big-eared bats. This species is very sensitive to human disturbance and therefore the mine should not be entered during the breeding season from May to September. -- Hidden San Diego
Bucyrus Erie, Model 2570 used for mining coal. The boom is 420 feet long. The maximum load is 800,000 pounds. The total working weight of this machine is about 16 million pounds. Sullivan County, Indiana.
Copper ore made possible a more than 3oo years mining venture beginning about 1645. Today it is on Unesco's heritage list.
An open cut mine encroaching into the countryside in the Hunter Valley of NSW. If you use the satellite view on the map you can see the extent of the mine.
We all know the Moon is made of green cheese despite what NASA might say. Aliens love green cheese and regularly mine the moon for the stuff. We know this is true otherwise what are all those holes and dark spots on the face of the moon if not the results of cheese mining. 😁 For the Macro Mondays group, topic: April Fools. Happy Macro Monday -- a good day to enjoy some moon cheese.
Taken last Spring on a walk along the Great Flatload Trail in Cornwall. So many remains of mining activity are to be found and explored along the trail, a few are here...
HWW!
Stained Glass depiction of Utah's mining legacy. This vintage stained glass is part of the history depicted in the the windows of the old Union Pacific Railroad Depot in Salt Lake City. For the Window Wednesdays group. HWW!
These are the first ten models of a series of mining equipment in scale 1:28.5, built over the last six years.
All models feature remote control functions, using SBricks and Power Functions or Powered UP components.
The creations are built after real existing equipment from various brands and different eras.
I still have some ideas to expand the collection...
#1: P&H 2355
#2: Euclid R-170
#3: Marathon LeTourneau L-1200 LeTro-Loader
#6: Marion 5760 The Mountaineer
#8: O&K RH 120 C
We had fascinating conditions for night photography in Bodie on Saturday night..There were fast-moving clouds and Milky Way early on, then snow showers and moving clouds with airglow later. The snow never stuck to the ground, but it was an interesting addition to some of the photos!
Fortunately it was cold enough that for the most part, the snow wasn't sticking to our lenses.
Cool temperatures and partly cloudy skies create a stop and go environment for small critters like this female Mining Bee that was foraging for pollen on a Dandelion. Also windy, so the breeze masked the vibration that I caused when I grabbed onto the Dandelion's stem. This is my first real outing with the camera since last July. Nice to know that the muscle memory that I've built up in my hands is permanent.
Tech Specs: Canon 90D (F11, 1/250, ISO 100) + a Canon MP-E 65mm macro lens (set to 2x) + a diffused MT-26EX-RT, E-TTL metering, -1 FEC). This is a single, uncropped, frame taken hand held. In post I used Topaz Denoise AI and Clarity in that order.
Along a road outside Bisbee AZ where copper was mined for many years, ending in 1975. The scaring (left side of the road) dominates the landscape 50 years later.
