100% correct this could be no other Place the most interesting shots are those taken with the 150-600 mm lens getting into the mine.

Totally made by man not other force really nature added nothing to this. To think this is getting close to the 1km deep by 600m its no wounder the view of machines and people are of ants. you feel so small when you are next to this.

Steve Paxton replied to David G Johnson:

You would have been a bit like me then with the big lens getting up close and see it very well. I have more shots that I could add as PIP's but have held off as it not that well visited to start with. I noted that you where on Flickr as well, good to have two sites as well.

I hope this comment stays I have answered this three times but no comment has ever stayed.
