Oak Ridge, Tennessee
This bronze bell was designed in Oak Ridge and cast in Japan in 1993 to serve as a symbol of the bonds of friendship and mutual regard that have developed between Oak Ridge and Japan over the past fifty years… Friendship made so much more meaningful because of the terrible conflict of World War II which Oak Ridge played such a significant role in ending. This bell further serves as a symbol of our mutual longing and pledge to work for freedom, well-being, justice, and peace for all the people of the world in the years to come.
Given to the people of Oak Ridge on the occasion of their 50th birthday by the Oak Ridge community foundation and friends in the United States, Japan, and other nations

Una mirada atrás, para recordar que a principios de año pude exponer junto a otros grandes fotógrafos, cuyo título fué "18 Miradas".
Hoy tenemos en marcha otra exposición en la que participo, en honor a la "Semana Cultural del Barrio de San Esteban (Ávila)". :)

At Stripa mines have been broken iron ore since the Middle ages. The earliest written records come from the 1440's.
Stripa, the name comes from the non-magnetic, quarter-striped and striped bloodstone ore hematite, which has been the dominant deposit. But also significant amounts of black magnetite ore, which is magnetic has been broken over the centuries.
Strips are also a unifying name for all small mines in the area who all have separate names.
Stripa mine is since 2006 a protected historic building and is the only surviving complete iron ore mine of its kind.
The area around the mine covers 70 hectares. It houses the oldest mining area with its many open and deep pits, the newer facility which became operational at the beginning of 1900, ore storage and treatment ponds to the enrichment plant
The original owners of the mines were powerful men in the mining industry and over the years they split up in two mining team.
The competing Ottesgruvelaget and Stripagruvelaget. They were later merged in 1806 to a mining company which in 1868 became a company called Great Stripa Grufebolag. Among the company's stakeholders included Dahlkarlshytte and Guldsmedshytte Mill. The mining company was sold 1939 to Stripa Mining AB with Ställbergs Mining AB as the largest shareholder.
The production at the mine stopped in 1977 and at that time the mine had a depth of approximately 450 meters. Most of the plant was taken over by Stripa Mineral AB, which devote themselves to crushing and milling of external recycling products. Underground portion was bought by Stripa mine AB they let experts research and do experiments on the future storage of used nuclear fuel. Since 2007 Stripa mine is owned by Stripa Culture and Development Corporation in Lindesbergs municipality. The intention is to preserve and display it as a unique attraction and experience facility.
In Stripa you are able to follow the course of history throughout the mining period from medieval to modern times. That is why this mine is especially appropriate and important from a pedagogical point of view of teaching and research.
The restoration of the mining buildings began in autumn 2006 and is expected to take many years. Parts of the enrichment plant facade, windows and roofs have been fixed. The mining company's name-plate the S-mark, that stands for Ställbergs Mining AB. It has been restored with new neon lighting and sits on top of the new renovated mine-hoist. The year 2008 began an attempt with a type of recycling production in the enrichment-plants machinery. If the experiment succeeds, the visitors will see the enrichment-plant in production eventually.
The old mining area will be made available by hiking trails and protecting prevention devices around the many mining holes and other things from earlier mining periods.
