Nice job, David. All those little toy trucks. That is indeed a big pit. And I see some fall color scattered in amongst the evergreens. I hope we get some of that in a week when we get to Yosemite.

The other day, I got a call from our local copper mine and told to be at the mine site at 6:15AM, yesterday morning. I spent a half day there, in pursuit of two photos they wanted... and which we got. Along the way, I got a few more, just for fun. This is a quick-and-dirty 5 panel pano, hand held, of the pit - one of the largest in the world. http://www.furnfeather.net/Panos/ThePit.jpg The pit does not look that big, until you click on the image, and start to move around, using the scroll bars at top and right. You'll see small trucks moving about on the roads... and you realize the size only when you understand that these trucks carry 240 tonnes (1 tonne = 2,200 lbs) and their tires cost a modest $38,000 each! Caution: Those on dial-up should know that this is a 8.8mb image. C&C welcomed as always.
