OLD SLATE MINE

Absolutely wonderful photographs of the slate quarry. How tough,dangerous and hard it was for these miners to quarry for slate.

Amazing how nature comes back, after man ravages the environment.

woah 300 meters deep? That is crazy! Do you know if it is that deep because it was dug out and then water filled it, or if the water is just naturally that deep there? I really like the last picture, nicely framed with the fall foliage and the backlighting makes the rocks seem very dramatic

The depth was down to mining and I believe it was filled up intentionally . Thanks for taking the time to reply. Cheers mike

Wow great photos of a really scenic spot, now that nature is slowing regrowing that’s a very beautiful sight.

It has enough depth, I think it would be very difficult to walk with children and animals, it is a lot of prevention and nerves do something in that place hahaha but I really want to congratulate you on your photos, they are very beautiful

Beautiful color and black and white photographs. They seem to go through a time forgotten by man but that nature preserves. Personally, I am fascinated by the second photograph. A big hello @mikenevitt
