I decided to build a backdrop against which to photograph some of my builds. The results were a bit small, but I figured they were good enough to be posted.
Orgreave Coking Plant closed in 1990. In the 1990s a large area of the parish formed part of a 700-acre (2.8 km2) site used for opencast mining by UK Coal; production ended in 2005 when the site ran out of coal. The site is now known as Waverley and is to be redeveloped in the next 20 years. The first major planning application, which includes the construction of 4,000 homes, was submitted in August 2008 by Harworth Estates.

In the end, the clearest image of the mine we saw was a poster nailed to a wall in the primary school. The school has been renovated by Paladin Africa as part of its Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) programme.
These pics were made from an viewing point at the open pit mine "Schleenhain", Saxony / Germany. The excavator in the front was slipped down by an landslip in august 2012. Luckily all of the miners on this 1000 tons weighing maschine could escape in time bevor getting hurt or even worse.
“I wouldn’t see it as a bad contract”, Charles Kaphwiyo, Director of Malawi’s Department of Mines, said of the controversial 2006 agreement between his government and Paladin Africa, “but there are areas for improvement.” Several NGOs, media outlets and even civil servants have criticised the government for failing to broker a better deal for Malawians with Kayelekera mine. “There are some things that we as government didn’t know that we accepted in the contract. But now we are learning.” Here he proudly shows us a 2011 map depicting all of the concessions out on Malawi’s resources – all to foreign-owned companies.
This was lying around in area where Gold was (and still is) mined. Looks like the earth is taking this back in.

These covers and backs to Desert Magazine ran for 4 issues (8 paintings) from June, 1960 thru September 1960. They did offer reproductions of each set of two for $2.85 postpaid on 14"x17" stock plus a 2" margin all the way round, with no lettering or folds. Sounded like a great deal to me. I'd love to find someone who has these for sale, but no luck so far.
