Hmmm... Not too sure about this one.
It was meant just as a little stress reliever for myself in between my bachelor's thesis and several design projects... It's not perfect as it was just for fun, but I figured I would post it anyways. I've started a much nicer one of Dusty flying over Niagara Falls, but it's being a bugger so I left it for a bit.

For anyone who is interested: The building in the back is the headframe for the abandoned McIntyre Mine, near Timmins, Ontario (Canada). It was once a gold mine, but did produced a fair amount of copper as well. I could go pretty in depth into hoisting systems and underground operations right now, but I'll hold myself back. As I'm finishing up my degree in Mining Engineering, I find this stuff all pretty interesting

I caught the picture on the way home from a mandatory field trip during my second year of university, where we went to Timmins to tour an underground mine... it was a 9.5 hour bus ride each way, and I spent a lot of time looking out the window. The fall colours were spectacular, and I've always really liked this photo.

I hope you enjoy
