Sheba would feel the vibration of the car going over the lift bridge (all of our dogs came to recognize the sound), and she'd start going crazy! You couldn't hold this normally reserved girl back when she got to the spit. She'd swim at Cherry Beach and then run here and go back and do it all over again!
Flying over Coniston outside Sudbury, Ontario, and the Coniston micro-smelter, one of the greenest such operations in North America. (Claimed to be carbon-neutral.)

Copper ore from Cornwall, Zinc ore from the Mendips were smelted here. Instruments produced from this brass in Bristol being exported to Africa as part of the Triangular (slave) trade.
The slag was cast into pre-cast blocks for building "Bristol Black" from the 1750s - 1850s. These can be seen in the various walls and structures in the area (and above). The Black Castle a few miles away being the most ornate example.
The young Abraham Derby was involved in the copper smelting industry in Bristol, before moving up to Coalbrookdale to smelt iron, and begin the industrial revolution.
Today the River Avon here is a peaceful wooded valley, with little remaining evidence of the intense industry that once occurred here.

Title: 'Sibirischer Kohofen mit Clindergeblaese'
Creator: Benedikt Franz Johann von Hermann (1755-1815)
Description: Print of a smelting works in Siberia. From Hermann, B F J von. 'Mineralogische Reisen in Sibirien. Vom Jahr 1783 bis 1796', (1797-1801), plate 8.
Hermann was an Austrian geologist, mineralogist and mining engineer, who travelled to St Petersburg in 1781 and entered the service of Catherine the Great, inspecting mines and iron & smelting works in the Urals and Siberia. He produced a number of publications, some printed by his own publishing company, on mining practices and metallurgy.

This smelter design predates the coming of Europeans. The historian Basil Davidson has surmised that Africans invented iron smelting independently of other societies. Iron and steel from Europe became readily available and then iron smelting ceased here. Iron workers continued to make weapons and tools with imported materials and so they retained their important status.
As the rain was still coming down I was thankful that at least one part of the buildings here had a roof as it meant I could shelter and take photographs at the same time!

Following a call from someone who'd witnessed dead fish along Gulliver Creek in Milton, we drove out to the Creek to have a look, on March 30, 2012. What we found were a few schools of Rainbow smelt (Osmerus mordax), swimming upstream. What an awe-inspiring sight! At this time of year, these silvery fish swim from Neponset Estuary into less salty contributing creeks, to lay eggs at night. This occurs each spring, around this time. // Smelt populations have declined drastically over the years, due to water pollution and the construction of dams along their migration routes. Thus, the sight of hundreds of these migratory fish swimming up a Neponset stream is heartening! However, it appears that the smelt can't get past the point at which the stream has been enclosed in a tunnel under the road. If that culvert were modified and fish could get past, they could reach more habitat for spawning, upstream. The more smelt that successfully hatch from eggs, the better! // The dead fish along the edge of the brook may have been killed by raccoons searching out the female, egg-laden smelt, and letting go of the male fish, according to Brad Chase.

Early iron smelting furnaces worked through the reduction of iron ores by carbon monoxide to metallic iron at very high temperatures. In the absence of thermometers, early workers had to rely on their senses: sight, sound, smell and touch to guide them through the many steps involved in iron production. This image shows the ignition of exhaust gases at the mouth of an experimentally reconstructed furnace: this indicated that conditions were right within the furnace for adding the iron ore and beginning the process of transforming it into metallic iron.
One of the former smelting things.

I think this was an aluminum smelter? I can't remember.. up in Gove. We'd anchor here in the bay when coming in to town for some R&R...

If necessary, fences may be temporarily removed to help our crews access properties being cleaned up. If temporary fence removal is needed, our crews store the fence during cleanup and then reinstall it after the cleanup work is finished.
Kite Aerial Photography at Burning Man 2010.
This image was taken by a camera lofted by a kite.
This was on the Saturday at the end of the week of Burning Man 2010. I had gone out several times during the week to do some kite aerial photography, and was only partially successful. On this, my last attempt, I was able to successfully launch the kite in the open playa, and then carefully walk into the city to obtain some shots of what Black Rock City looks like from the air.
Although the kite largely flew very well during this outing, there was some turbulence present, and my kite dipped and did a few nose dives. Fortunately the kite recovered from these each time before it crashed or hit anything else.
This shot was taken after launch, but prior to walking into the city, and shows both the Dragon Smelter art project, as well as the honeycomb art project called "Propolis"
Technical Details:
6' Rok Kite (a very, very dusty 6' Rok for this shot)

Unfortunately, the aluminium plant finally closed in October 2012. In the words of the Australian Aluminium Council Ltd:
"The Kurri Kurri aluminium smelter began operation in 1969 and was acquired by Hydro, a member of Hydro Aluminium Group based in Norway, in 2002.
Hydro Aluminium produced various types of ingots which are used to produce a vast range of products, including roofing materials, foil, truck bodies, boats, doors, windows, commercial shopfronts, cables, tubing and many others.
Hydro Aluminium invested $40 million to upgrade the last remaining side-worked prebake technology in Australia. This upgrade was completed in November 2005 and aimed to significantly reduce emissions and increase production capacity by 6,800 tonnes per annum.
The Kurri Kurri aluminium smelter closed in 2012."
