This remains one of my favourite photographs ever. The line is just beautiful - it carries us down and around and spirals and is just wonderful. And the contrast between the business of the bottom of the picture and the clearness of the top section ... wow.
Really awe-inspiring.

Beautiful! I really like mines, they are interesting places and they can be really beautiful. Near where I live is a mine full of water(still producing iron) but the water is the most spectacular blue.
๐: 0 โฉ: 1
Yeah, I know what you say. There's a mine here and the water is like steel blue or aqua... pretty amazing. It reminds me that I gotta go shoot some pics there when summer comes.

There's a platform a bit over the edge of the mine and it's open all-year round for tourists so I used it.

This is fantastic. The level of detail is wonderful, I could get lost in the crispness. Amazing photo!

I knew this looked familiar. I've been to a mine in Utah. ^ ^ That was late winter though. Only some ice.

The coolest mine around is a silver mine in Zacatecas. The guys of that place even have a bar and dance club inside the mine, it's a nice joint.

Hmm... what do you mean by strip mining?
๐: 0 โฉ: 1
they tear these leveled cuts into a mountain or a plain and the resulting staircase style landstripping for mineral resources leaves the land looking something like this.
๐: 0 โฉ: 1
Oh! Then, I guess it's a strip mining facility.

A gorgeous photo, but it makes me sad that humans have ripped into the earth like that...
You've definately captured the intricacies of what humans can do when they put their minds to it.
๐: 0 โฉ: 1
Thanks. Indeed, you need to see stuff like that to realize Man is greater than everything and that sometimes we should stop.
๐: 0 โฉ: 1
Exactly. Some day there's going to be some massive earthly disaster though that humans caused and everybody will be just like, "aw...s#it....look what we did..."

Oh man, I am so envious, I have always wanted to see a pit mine like this.
๐: 0 โฉ: 1
Haha... get here. You'll see like 3-4 mines. There's even one they drained a lake and moved it elsewhere to dig a mine.

Insane, I have expiriance with the native copper mine of upper Michigan here in america, all shut down long ago and none are pit mines so they aren't much to photograph. Especially because you can't even get in them. I probably will find my way up somewhere someday.
๐: 0 โฉ: 1
Here for like $20 you can have a tour INSIDE the mine for like a whole day.

Awesome! that would be so sweet.

Beautiful pic... though it's unsettling to think that some canadian company is trying to do something like this across the bay from where I live. Though it's cool to think that even a hole in the ground can have a chance to look stunning when the conditions are right.

Thanks for takin' some time to leave a nice comment like that.
