single photos Landscape raping I ---- ωωωIMG_7720

Michail, we are familiar with landscapes like that, due to mining of coal. We are not sure if you depict a quarry or some kind of mining? Well documented!

Thanks for your visit Gregory/Verena. I am afraid  my English are so poor that cannot distinguish the difference between quarry-mining, could you please elaborate?

To see the nature so outraged it is a great pain. Great documents.

Sure- mining usually means extracting (removing) a mineral of some sort, like

coal, iron, copper etc. from the ground or rock. A quarry usually removes stone, like limestone, marble, granite, from a large source of the rock.

From your other photos, this looks like a quarry, but not sure what type of stone.

We always enjoy your photos!

Gregory/Verena, thanks for the clarification. I am not sure but i think too it's a kind of quarry.

Just by way of counterpoint (being the gadfly that I am): If you can't grow it, you have to mine it. That still begs the question of means, methods, and outcomes. I sometimes wonder if we appreciate how much of our extraordinarily high standard of living depends upon extraction of natural resources, and what components of that standard we are individually and collectively willing to give up in the interest of preserving "natural" conditions. For example, virtually every (and I mean every last bit) of the materials that make up our cameras, lenses, and accessories are products of mining or drilling operations. 

Michail, I love the compositional balance and colors in this image. Good documentation of a man-made landscape. Well captured and presented, regardless one's position on the aesthetics of the subject.
