Sunset over the mine

Uploaded: October 01, 2005

Description

Tv 1/396 Av 4.9 ISO100 17,3 mm focal length

The hill on the horison is a huge "mine dump", the fine sand that remains after gold ore has been crushed and the gold extracted. This dump was once the biggest sand dump in the world, now it is being reduced as sand is continuously taken away for commercial purposes.

Hello Roxanne

Thanks for your kind comment.

I think the fact that there are some lights in the dark area helps to make this fairly ordinary sunset a little more interesting.

BetterPhoto Websites: If you see an orange website link directly under the photographer's name, it's totally okay. It's not spam. The reason: BetterPhoto is the one that offers these personal photography websites. We are supporting our clients with those links.

Unavailable EXIF: If there is no other information but 'Unavailable' in the EXIF (meaning no EXIF data exists with the photo), the 'Unavailable' blurb is not displayed. If there is any info, it shows. Many photos have the EXIF stripped out when people modify the image and resave it, before uploading.
