Fourth Nevada expedition in the last two months... lots of maps, lots of miles. Did a fair amount of four-wheeling in early July, fixed some flat tires, got stuck near here overnight in some deep spring mud before getting towed out by a hunter at dawn... fun times!
I noticed this Mining Bee cleaning out debris from her nest and camped at the entrance to see if I could get a few photos. Once she decided to come out we played "BeeKaBoo" cause I accidentally scared her back down into the tunnel a few times. Image taken in Bacoli, Italy in May of 2020.

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...

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.

Only a few weeks after this shot North Shore Mining would close and go idle for the foreseeable future. We have here NSMX 672 SD70ace leads a ore train south by railfan rock on a very cold morning.
Sadly, the number of motives stays the same when you're doing urban architecture photography. Light and viewing angles, though, do not. Here's a view of the famous Zollverein mine headframe, part of the World Cultural Heritage site in Essen.
Røros, Norway
Røros has about 80 wooden 17th and 18th century buildings which have led to its designation as a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 1980.

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.

Žerjav is a small town in Slovenska Koroška which long time lived with its led any zinc mine. Its surrounding is completely devastated. Nowadays luckily the miner is closed and a museum can be visited there.
Cool, partly cloudy weather makes the perfect conditions to photograph small solitary bees. I found this female Mining Bee foraging for pollen in a Dandelion. Gotta shoot them while I can because in a few short months they'll be gone for the year.
Tech Specs: Canon 80D (F11, 1/250, ISO 100) + a Canon MP-E 65mm macro lens (almost 4x) + a diffused MT-26EX-RT with a Kaiser adjustable flash shoe on the "A" head (the key), E-TTL metering, -1/3 FEC). This is a single, uncropped, frame taken hand held. In post I used Topaz Denoise AI and Clarity in that order. Cheap trick: There was a light colored marble wall behind the flower and I positioned the critter close to it so the light from the flash would bounce off of the wall and back into the camera. I like to avoid black backgrounds whenever possible to maintain the suspension of disbelief. Everyone is use to seeing bees during the day, so an image that has a black background looks like a night time shot. You might not consciously think "bees aren't out at night" but a part of your brain will think that the image is "off" and you won't be able to just relax and enjoy it.

The last but one deep mining colliery in Britain was Thoresby which was sunk in 1925. This was taken during its last week of production.

in all the times we have been to bisbee and said we were going to take the mine tour (http://www.queenminetour.com/ ), this is the first time we actually made an effort to do so. it was fun :D
Perth is a mining town. Mining is a major source of revenue for Western Australia and hence the state is relatively wealthy and has the highest median household income of any Australian capital city. The picture shows the precinct at the ground floor for one of the major mining companies. This is repeated throughout the city with some lovely grounds
