Just to remember them.....

June 28. 1997 I was visiting a clay-mine in Eisenberg, Germany and I found there in a beautifull nature the remain of a huge clay-mine. Nowadays they don't dig it up in tunnels, they prefer daylight, no more narrow gauge, just trucks and so ........
This daylight-digging came this year so far, that the "visitor's mine" had to be closed and now, at this very moment all of this is gone......

  • This picture shows how nature tries to secure this part of being seen by the people who want to destroy this.......
  • Nature and tracks, is there any better combination.........
  • As I took the picture of the switch, Ralf Schreiner, "caught" me doing so.
  • Loaded cars were pulled out of the mine by steelcable
  • In the building behind me they were unloaded in other cars
  • The slope is at least between 20 and 30 %
    		•
  • In the shed in which the mine-cars are emptied into other cars
    		•
  • Oh no, this is not a roof, almost laying on the floor, this is the main entrance.
  • BTW, the first four pictures are taken from spots no further away from each other then 15 ft !!!!
  • At this moment we are a about 10 ft under the surface.
  • The first swithes, were cars can pass eachother.
  • This picture token by Ralf Schreiner shows how it goes down here.
  • Visitors, like me here seen on the back, do have a red helmet,
  • People of the mine wear a yellow-one
  • Back "on" earth I took some pictures of old material.
  • This is sold and waits to be picked up.
    		•
  • The sad remains of a huge netwerk of narrow industrial lines
  • I caught him as he stood there trying to hide.
  • The ashamed successor of all this beauty.........
