Beautiful pix, Monk! It's hard to tell the scale... how deep is it? If that little tiny yellow thing bottom left is a drag line / shovel then that has got to be between 500 to 1000 feet deep. :shock:

That's awesome! Nice picture, what do you do, or is it coincidentally next to your office?

It's the old open pit at Gwalia, near Leonora Western Australia. The little yellow thing is a lighting tower stationed outside the "portal" where the mine goes underground. At present mining is taking place about 1.2 - 1.5 kms below the surface. It will probably end up well below 2 kms eventually.....

Check it out on Google Earth and take a look at the Panoramio Pcs of the Heritage:
