Kevin looking funny in a hard hat. (My turn is down the page...)
Coal Shoot
These circles are fossil evidence of sea worms that once burrowed tunnels in the sand.
These marks are from old time equipment, not a prehistoric saber tooth tiger.
The marks in the ceiling are from ocean waves. We were standing UNDER the sea floor, or what was the sea floor in geologic days gone by...
My turn to look funny in a hard hat!
Most of the mine workers were Welsh. So if you click for enlarged images, you will see Welsh names and place names on the tomb stones.
Slag can create such lovely forms!
Bidding farewell to the park at a time of perfect shadows...
