Description


It could be Mars at a stretch!! :-p This is a close-up of that road which goes around the mine dump. You can see where water from past rains has run and then dried up. Here is another interesting link on mining - it would seem that South Africa has the world's deepest mines. This article sheds some interesting light on gold mining in particular. http://news.nationalgeographic.com/news/2007/11/071106-africa-mine.html Thanks for the comments and interest :-) It's been a fascinating journey for me as well.

It could have been a Terragen render anytime. It has that bleak, forlorn mood about the place.
